Unhappy Cruise Control

Hi

Yes i am a newbee from Denmark, who has just found this amazing forum.

My first post here is about Cruise Control.
I have a 1,2 Grande Punto 2006, noce little cat. However i drive a lot km, and therefor i need cruise control.

I just called Fia to here what i would cost, they said about 900 euro, that i think i a bit TO MUCH.

Isthere anybody here who know what i need to get Cruise control in my car ?
Maybe original, maybe something you would reccomend from the aftemarket.

I n Deep Respect for the Fiat Guru'si know i on this site

Kind regard

Hi Tom (is it ok if I call you that?), Firstly welsome to the Forum. I hope you find it of great use. I personally don't own a GP but have seen many threads on this topic, both here and in the Stilo section, so if you do a search I don't think it will be long until you find what you need

All the best, Jon.

Re: Cruise Control

i also would like some answers on this! the previous threads dont actually say if 1. they can be fitted by a dealer in the UK and 2. if it can be easly done by yourself! I would love cruise control and want to pay a dealer to do it! But i dont know if they will?

Re: Cruise Control

Id love to know this, is the stalk for the cruise attatched to the indicator stalk or is it a seperate stalk like on the stilo

by that I mean can you buy them seperate or do they have to come as one?

Re: Cruise Control

I should have made it more clear, like are they connected, cause I had the steering cowels off mine and couldnt see any empty plugs, which leads me now to beleive that the seperate CC stalk its attatched under the cowel to the indicator stalk and the connections for the CC is in with the plug that the indicator stalk plugs into

Ive seen CC optionaly fitted at a car I went looking at so I know the position of the stalk with the cowels on, just not the position with the cowel off......


If you get me lol
