Brelingo cruise control

I enquired at my local cit dealer about fitting cruise control to my 54 reg
Berlingo multispace 2.0 Hdi as I’ve heard it can be as simple as fitting a switch & cowling + computer upload as the vehicle has multiplex wiring.
However the dealer said they had tried this on a 54 reg but had then had to remove the new parts because as the control had not been a factory fitted option there was no connection to the braking system and could not be retro fitted. He said the car ether had cruise control from new or it didn’t .
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I’m sure you could fit it to earlier versions, Is it likely cit have modified later models?

on the early belingos everything run on 12v and no computers,but the latest ones have a multiplex system,a number of small computers control each electrical systems ie:one for lights and another for wipers and so on.
i think ive described it correctly,but please feel free to correct me if im wrong!!

I had it fitted to my Blingo last year, it works absolutely fine.
Your description of what is required is spot on, the dealer is not...........No surprise there!!
I had mine fitted for £145 I think, at Broards of Chalfont, they were however the only dealer I could find who knew anything about doing it. They did a very good job, no problems whatsoever.

Thanks for that Richard.
I suspected that might be the case.[}:)]
I will try to track down a dealer who knows what he’s talking about![:D]
