Cruise Control - Retrofit

[paddymounter]

Is it possible and has anyone fitted cruise control to a 08 T5 California 2.5L manual?

Given the different loom, sensors and electronics needed, unless there is some sort of aftermarket option, I would not say it's possible.

Edit - there is one here for VW. Semi-integrated though, essentially sits outside your current kit (ie not on the Dash, just the stalk).

Easy enough. EBay the stalk/loom then sort it via VCDS. Done it on my Golf.

It can , like sidepod said . There’s a guy in the north east who sells the kits on eBay . Or you go and see him in saltburn? He’ll fit while you wait.. 2-3 hours as I remember. Factory fit look with dash indicator and everything. Faultless .

For a T5 you have a VW original cruise control kit including stalk and wirings and codings.
For a T6 it is not possible from VW. But I put one in for my dad.


On a T6 with MFD and steering wheel buttons, normally the cruise control is in the left button part, and not (easy) retrofittable.
I just ordered an original stalk from VW. It cost me €100. A couple of wires to the right modules in the right place and 2 lines of code.
The hardest part was the wire to the engine ECU. This is located under the starter battery.
So yes, it is possible from VW for a T5 and T5.1.

Thank you.

How did you sort the VCDS?

Thank you every one

do you have experience driving with cruise control? My experience is adaptive cruise control is great but non-adaptive cruise control is not, unless you expect to spend a significant amount of time driving on continental motorways

I find the ACC on the Cali great when driving on the motorways, had CC on a previous car and very rarely used in UK due to amount of traffic on our roads. ACC is very useful when driving through average speed check areas in road works.

I had manual cruise control (not ACC which would likely be impossible?) retrofitted to my T6 MY2016 Beach & use it every trip - the VW Dealer had included in their spec for the pre-registered ad listing, but didn't have the stalk on collection.

An outfit in the Midlands did it for me in an afternoon (and the Dealer reluctantly paid! ).

We had it added by Hazzy Dayz to our MY13 Sharan. They do T5s as well. They use original VW parts which is neat.
