I'm going to be doing this on my 07 in the next week or so. I have the replacement stalk, and VCDS to re-program.

EDIT: If you do a quick search on 'retro cruise' you'll find a few really good threads with loads of info.

 

Superb, Where did you get the stuff from? If you could let me know how you get on/if it brakes as well that would be fantastic! Thanks

 

I had cruise already fitted when I purchased my 07 and I do miss it.

I was quoted the same price as you to have it retro fitted to my 08. They said pre 2010 can have it, but some Audi's need an extra small cable running to the dash installed too.... after further checks they said they believe the TT already has this in place so you only need the stalk and steering wheel column/trim.

In terms of braking, no it doesn't. It only stops accelerating, so unless you're in a low gear where engine braking will help then you won't slow down much. I know some other cars I've driven do have cruise also controlling the brakes, unfortunately the TT doesn't.

Regards,
Nick

 

Search on eBay for the stalk, the wire can be made up with a repair wire and the steering console trimmed to suit new stalk

Did mine for £35

Fitted a few for people now and have had to run the cable on all of them

Any TT no matter what year can have cruise control, just make sure you get the correct one

Look at your existing stalk and see how many symbols of headlight are on it

Usually the older style has 2 symbols and the later has 3
You should match this or have main beam issues

Rettro -- out of interest, do you know the part number for the lower cowling that fits with the cruise stalk? I would rather buy one rather than cut my own!?

Or anywhere other than Audi that would sell it?

 

Sorry Barry I don't, I trimmed mine

Where was the 230 quoted? Not had cheaper than 250 quoted myself.

reTTro - where are you located!?

Hi are you still retro fitting? I would be interested in having this done

 

Hey T3zler, it was on eBay. Teesside Audi I think was his name. He's based in Saltburn I think. I'm hesitant to get it if it doesn't brake. I've got the DSG so I was hoping it would keep me in check more.

 

Cheers Turbohead. I still fancy this, may look into a further but don't think I have it in myself to attempt it myself.

Honestly mate it's not that bad, once you ran the cable from the Ecu it's bolt off bolt on

Airbag off
Steering wheel off
Remove steering cowl
Unplug and remove the steering module then the slip ring
That allows you to remove your indicator stalk
Then slid in the new one and reverse the above

You will need vcds to programme the car for cruise

If you let me know year & model of your car I can tell you where the additional wire ( if required ) goes to in the Ecu from pin 13 of the steering module

Don't have vcds. Car is mk2 2010 Quattro tdi though.

Rettro... Thanks for the help via PM last night, some of those clips are a pain in the back side to find!

I got as far as fitting the new stalk and wire to the steering column ecu then as it was starting to get dark I thought I'd leave it until today to do the under bonnet stuff. It's a little weird sitting in a car with no steering wheel!!

 

Just a quick update to say I've got it all in and working now.

Would have preferred to get it all done in one go, but it's no big deal, went out tonight and ran the wire from the interior to the ECU, I'd already connected it up to the relevant plugs and left the wire coiled up until I had time to find a way through the bulkhead into the engine bay. And instead of running it over to the passenger side and through a grommet, there it a plastic cover just under the wiper motor, 3 bolts and its off. So ran it though there as when it's removed you can literally see into the drivers foot well.

I ended up buying the lower cowling for the new stalk to fit rather than cutting the existing one, for anyone wanting one, the part number from Audi is:

W8J0 953 512 C4 P N/STK TRIM = £29.04 + vat

 

Cheaper than I expected

Yeah, I was expect it to be double that!

Cheers for your help over the past few days too, much appreciated.

 

Just found this. Interesting to note the below Pin numbers for all models.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Audi- ... 829wt_1348

TT's will require an ECU wire from Pin 13 on the Steering Controller to the ECU Connector [Pin location below], the ECU wire is now included in our kits.

1.8 Petrol Engine CCDA (ECU T94) Pin 45

2.0 Petrol Engine BWA, BPY, CDMA, CDLB (ECU T94) Pin 18

2.0 Petrol Engine CCTA, CCZA, CESA, CETA (ECU T94) Pin 45

2.5 5cyl Petrol Engine: CEPA (ECU T94) Pin 18

3.2 V6 Petrol Engine: BUB, CBRA (ECU T81) Pin 38

2.0 Diesel Engine: CBBB, CFGB (ECU T94) Pin 64

 

Richings you can get the stalk for cheaper than that seperatly, I paid £60 for mine and then £15 for the ECU wire, trimmed the trim myself or you can buy it from the dealers.

I've done a write up on how to do the install including running the wire to the ECU, just need to get the photos off my phone and I'll post it up by the end of the weekend for those interested!

I am interested in doing this also mate as my girlfriend keeps taking the piss that her Hyundai Coupe has it and mine doesn't! lol. But I'm sure I can find the items for cheaper, My only worry is the actual DIY. Always been afraid of messing around with steering wheels with airbags in them. If I wait for you guys to put something together then I might buy the parts, pictures will be very useful as well.

Yeah I had a look at this as well, not very informative tbh, especially for someone who's not done anything like this before

I'd never done anything like it before including touching the steering wheel and ECU but I'm always up for doing stuff myself even it if is using a guide on how to do it. Stepped out of my zone installing this and I couldn't be happier when I programmed it in and it worked well worth it just for the fun of doing it

Now I've done mine, and know where all the little clips and stuff are, it'll be easy next time. I was a little worried about taking the airbag out too, but it's simple, really simple!
The most fiddly part was getting the wire into the plug at the ecu end, but you just take your time and it only takes a few mins.
If you get stuck or want a hand, give me a shout, I might be able to pop round depending on how far away you are?

 

It always seams a bit daunting the first time you attempt anything but then you realise how easy some stuff is

I ended up having the wrong pins for the ECU either that or I put the wire in back to front like a nonsense without realising as I struggled putting the wire into the steering wheel side as well ahah, so I had to make the pin fit which took some fiddling around but it works and it's secure which is the main thing!
