retro fit cruise control

[Mr.I Kenney]

Hi
has anybody fitted cruise control to a passat tdi 130 2002?If so what is involved?The reason I am asking is that the idicator switch seems faulty so because I have got to change it I might as well pay a little bit extra for a switch that has cruise on it.
Cheers Ian

Here is a link to the destructions, part I dont like is removing the airbag, the spring clips are a bugger to get to.

Thanks for that. Abit more involved than I thought. Might get an independant to do it afterall.

Having fitted one, I would have paid a dealer that much to save day of scraped knuckles etc.... On mine, the wiring was really tight behind the dash. If you supply,make sure you include the correct mini- harness for your car too.
