I was having a brain fart. For some reason I thought the standard pad would only allow you to hold or resume speed.

Dear all


having a nightmare with fitting. Mechanic says "no speed signal getting through to cruise control from dash? connected to sp+ screw.
There is no signal chip/amplifier. Does it need one?"

Be grateful for any advise!

PS, has anyone got a pic of this?

Final Setup
Set the Sensitivity switch to M & cut the black wire link

Thanks

I've been reading this thread with interest since I have a kit to collect from the post office tomorrow. It's a toss up between fitting that or a new front crossmember on Saturday!
I'm guessing the panel with the operating buttons in purely contains switches and no other components, so intergrating a stalk from something else should only be a case of marrying up the correct signals?

It's the black wire link that we can't find..?

Thanks

It's on the grey CC control box near the sensitivity switch.

All sorted, thanks to Simon and Scammer's advise.

Bizarre that you have to cut a (very small and hard to find) wire to make it work..

but you do.

Right foot looking forward to M-way next week.

Well, fitted CC Saturday morning, tested in the afternoon with no issues, so great notes and tips from here! Went into town this morning, came back to find the pipe work serving rear heater matrix spewing water. So looks like I'll be busy getting to that next week.

I am still struggling with my installation - it works at 15mph.

The loop wire is cut and none of the sensitivity settings make any difference.

Technical support from the importers seems non-existant.

Any more suggestions?

What do you mean by...

It locks on at that speed and ONLY at that speed or what?

Can you change speed using the Set (+) & Res (-) buttons?

Have you set the cable position correctly? Because I set mine so it doesn't over pull and strain the blue servo assy. there is a slight delay in cruise taking over when you press set.
