Trouble fitting Cruise to 2011 Caddy

[asr_933]

Hey guys!

Can anyone help me out or point me to a thread please.

I've just installed the appropraite cruise control stalk setup to my caddy but it didn't come with an ECU wire. Do I need it for my 2011 Caddy (TDI, DSG)? Or do I just need to use VCDS to activate?

Is there anyone on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland with VCDS?

Thanks in advance!

You may need another version of the steering wheel electrics module, too.

In live in Narangba, the closest to the Sunshine Coast that I can think of with a lead. Not the expert but on petrol cars you def need to code the ECU to accept the CC.

Thanks Gavin! I'm in Sydney but car is on the coast with the old man. When I pick it up I might get in touch with you if that's ok?

Will wait and see if anyone can elaborate on the steering electrics module....

Yeah sure, might not be able to get firm information on the steering module, without scanning the car though.

Ok. So I need to find out the module number?

Did you buy it as a genuine retro-fit kit?

The kits are VIN-specific, and will include a new steering wheel electrics control module, where applicable. In most cases, you'll need one, as logic suggests if the car needed a SWECM 'High', it'd already have cruise control fitted.

Yes I bought a retro fit kit. However the guy only asked for the year of the vehicle and assures me it is right and doesn't need an ecu wire just vcds programming :/

Unfortunately I'm not with the car so haven't got immediate access to the kit he sent me.

I did heaps of hunting around to make sure I bought the right stalk & clock spring for my 2012 TDI caddy..
I think there are different stalks/clock springs/steering control modules that have to be taken into consideration

It took about 2 mins of coding to get mine up and running.
Just try get it coded & that'll tell you if all modules are right

Thanks man!
