Re: Cruise Control

[ope126]

Guy, I would be interested in seeing if this is something that could be done...
I spoke with VW this morning also and they advised that the display is via an LED not a bulb. So if the LED is not actually in the dash cluster it will not be able to be activated.
But I am happy to see if we can get it working...

Guy - Do you know if it is a similar proposition for the a3s? Is the light actually in the dash?

I'm still trying to figure out how to make the cruise control work!

[ope126]

Flick the switch on and then press set...

Let me know if your dash light, lights up!

[99gti]

Is set the button at the end of the stalk?

The light can be switched on - with the ECU software - but only with a new chip from APR. We don't have the skills to hack the standard ECU code & it wouldnt be worth the time & effort.

It is an LED, activated by the software.

Lams has an 01' GTI that has had the light enabled with the later version APR software.

Have not come across it on the A3 before, but I'm sure its possible similar year for year.

Do you need to be doing a particular speed before the cruise control works?

[ope126]

Set and Resume are at the end of the stalk.
I think you have to do 50km or higher?

Hmmm - I thinks it don't work.

I might go back up to the dealer this weekend to get a few bits sorted out.

I doubt it, I'm pretty sure I've enabled cruise control at ~20km/h or even lower.
