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.

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!

Thanks Barry, much appreciated. I'll wait to see what guides you have put together and see if I can get hold of the parts as cheap I can and actually get it done myself. Me and my partner always work on my car doing bits and bobs.. she loves it. But if we need any extra hands I'll let you know Barry thank you. We're in and around Newbury area.

Yes, the clip on the repair wire was different to the one at the engine ecu, but luckily the unused pins that side have a 'blank' clip. So I removed that and just crimped the wire into it. So its' all good.
Then just a bit of soldering and heat shrink to tidy it all up.

No worries. Do you have the vcds software and cable to program/activate it?
 
Nope haha that's something I don't have, Would solve all my problems! :p
 
There two kinds of cruise stalk, make sure you get the correct one for your car

Cruise is £40-£50
And a repair wire is pennies

Does your indicator stalk have 2 or 3 headlight symbols on it ?????

Here's a cheeky shot of my stalk mate.

Right so your car is pre facelift
That stalk doesn't have the momentary function
You need the same 2 symbol one with cruise
Which is revision B ( 8P0953513B )
If not you'll have issues with main beam

Here you go

As lea said you can do it for cheaper, that's just how much I paid for the stuff.

Like what I'm still having ahah, but I thought the only issue was to reprogram it so it worked like you showed me?
