    Re: Cruise Control

    Hi all,

    Quick question...

    Does the cruise control icon illuminate on your dash board when activated as in the following picture?

    Mine doesn't, should it?
    Or is EU / US markets only?

    Any help, advice...

    Mine lights up just like the pic. I think I also remember the booklet saying that it lights up.

    Is your car a GTI, if so what year model is it?

    I might have to go to VW and get the bulb fixed then...

    I have just found the following in my owners manual...

    " 2 - Cruise Control System*
    The warning lamp comes on when the Cruise Control System is switched on. This lamp is not to be found in all model versions."

    Maybe that answers my question...

    Its Part of the ECU software, we can actually switch it on or off as the customer likes with the APR Remap.

    If your car did have it & now it doesn't then you just need to switch software (Assuming you are chipped)

    As I do not have a remap of any kind, is this still some thing that you can do. i.e make the light come on as required?

    hey Glenn, Good to speak to you - on second thoughts the code could be modified in the stock ECU but it would be a time consuming thing.

    Not sure when the cut over date is when VW switched it on but its just a slight software revision!
