Cruise Control

[jamiecarpenter]

Hi All I am thinking of purchasing a cruise control kit for my 06 plate z4 3.0. BMW will fit it for £200 and I have found various links explaining how to fit it so thinking of doing it myself. My only concern is it says about coding, is this possible without taking it to a garage? Is it easy to fit. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

Mine needed no coding or wiring as that was present.

yours is an 06 though so the wiring wont be present

the kit itself is £150 including the switch, cowl and the wiring loom - is the £200 price quoted including the kit? If so that aint bad really given the extra wiring involved and potential for error....

Hi they 've said the unit is £150 and it will then cost a further £200 to fit so not a bargain. However if it has'nt got the wiring I dont think I'd fancy doing it myself.

Forget the kit and buy just the switch for around £75. The bit of loom you want is also available for about £5.
You just reuse the original cowl and dremmel out the switch shape, which has the profile already stamped on the inside Takes about 10 mins to cut out.

I make that £80 Vs £350. I'd spend the saved on a weekend break testing the cruise to get me there
