After market Cruise control

Hi, is it possible to fit cruise control to Stilo 1.9 JTD? The local South African dealers are saying NO but surely the wires must already be there....

I can get third pary cruise control systems but I want the standard Fiat Stilo cruise control....

not sure to be honest but you might get more responses in the technical section. hope there is a way for you to do it!

Nope, too many components differ and would cost a fortune.

i tottaly disagree as long as you have this plug in your steering column


all you do it buy the part for the cruise control the only problem is that they sell the whole indicator, wiper, light switch thing a ma jidge all together with the cruise control lever. THis info was discovered on the italian stilo club. We havent managed to test it ourselves here in greece yet cause its kind of expensive to get the whole control part of the steering column to try and test it but again they said the cruise control part on the alfa 147 is sold seperately and will work we just have to see who will have the guts to test it out i dunno.

I totally agree with Stilatos!

Just check if you have the needed cables and plugs already fitted to your car... Then, just buy the leaver with the switches for the cruise control and plug it in!

Won't the body computer have to be told that it has cruise control?

If you have the above mentioned cables and plugs already in your car, the body computer is ready to receive the cruise control switch. It is something that already has been done by Italian owners...

Thanks I will try.

Let us know how it turns out, i'm rather interested

I'm interested too, tell us how it goes!!!

Does anyone know what the part number for the arm with the cruise control is? My local Fiat dealer is completely useless..

Need to know if your car has ESP or not (Electronic Stability Program), i know my 1.8 has it, but my mum's 1.6 hasn't. Also, does yours have Rain Sensor & Dusk Sensor?

Thanks

Hi rroope, No ESP, no rain or dusk sensors, no keyless start, just a plain 1.9JTD

Thanks

a bit of topic sorry but Im just wondering if you Nikos ever tried your stilo against an Abarth (drag, motorway, whatever ) ?

0-160 km/h I was 2~3 cars in front of the abarth. 180-240 km/h we were accelarating the same. Although we have almost the same horsepower (170+), my turbo has more torgue (24kg instead of 22,5kg of abarth) and above 3.000rpm it accelarates enormoysly!

Until the end of this year, I am preparing some more engine modifications in order to raise the horsepower up to 230-240BHP...
