c5 cruise control

[oneday]

c5 2.0 hdi vtr 2003
i think i have read somewhere that to fit cruise all you have to do is fit the colum switch and 4 wire brake switch and activate on a lexia is this right or am i imagining it.

Not sure about the brake light switch, I always manage to just activate it.

that sounds good just thought its a manual will the clutch need a switch

Sometimes both the additional brake light switch and the clutch switch are there and all that is needed is the the stalk and a Lexia to tell the ECUs that it is present.
YMMV

will these be at the back of the passenger glove box.

[jgra1]

yes they should be..

I tried fitting to mine recently.. but I only have a single brake swtich.. am trying to get the switches I need.. have stalk in already but it's not working yet...

loads of switches oc ebay at a reasonable price

are all cruise control stalks the same and how much would you expect to pay for one.

does anyone have the part number

Yours being a 2003 might have the second brake light switch. I fitted cruise to my previous C5, a 2004 2.0HDi VTR, which had the switch already fitted. All I did was get a cruise stalk, cut the notch in the column surround and enable the cruise function in the two menus with a Lexia.

Im not sure of the part number, however I think mine was around £30.

The cruise stalk for the earlier C5 is different from the C5II. You want the one which says on/off, rather than the one which says speed limiter/cruise control. Apparently the newer one will work (without the limiter function), but im really not sure of this, your best to get the correct one.

Edit: I must have been asleep, what with all those typos!

MK1 part number is 6242 Z9, Mk2 is 6242 Z8 Cit prices are £55 for Mk1 and £65 for Mk2. This one on the bay would appear to be the right one.

That is more than I remember mine being, it was over two years ago though.

I would start with the stalk and using a lexia to set the cruise. If it doesnt work you'll need a second brake switch, but you wont need to enable the cruise again once fitted.

[jgra1]

Chris, can you remember where the two lex options are? Jim and I could only find one place to enable...

thanks for all your help i can get started on this project now

There is certainly one in the injector menu, which is the one which had me stuck originally as I didnt think to look in there.

The other is in the BSi menu, I think!

There is definitely two, which might explain why yours is not working yet
