How-To - e89 Cruise Control Retro-fit

New version of Part 2 added to the first post (new link, old link now deleted)

This new version includes photos of the Tool32 process and a new replacement section for the final coding stage. You now only need to do the final coding to the ZDSC module and not the whole car, this should rectify the problems that some of you have had especially those that have a MULF fitted.

And on another point I've now filmed the whole process from fitting the stalks right through to the full coding stages. This should be available before the end of the weekend on my YouTube channel of which I'll link here.
 
Thank you Dave for your invaluable help and excellent tutorial. :thumbsup:
Thanks to you, on the roads, there is another Z4 equipped with CC :driving:

Happy when things work out :driving: :thumbsup:
 
This is great. I'm a bit nervous about the coding so I'd be happy to travel to get this done. Can you PM me?
 
Morning all 8)

I've now got two full sets in stock so if anyone wants cruise fitting give me a shout.
No RIP-off Ebay prices for parts here, all-in supply and fit for £110. :thumbsup: :driving:

Hi Dave,

I'm not yet able to PM you - I am a newbie :(

I am definitely interested in doing this and was planning to do this as part of a winter project, but if you are able to PM me please do so, so we can discuss (assuming I can reply to PMs I get).

Cheers!
Andy

Hi. I have just purchased my first z4. 2016 2.0i with alas no cruise control. Will the Ebay item - slip ring/stalk cluster as mentioned by mholt1995 also be correct for mine. All the ones on ebay say not compatible such as this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-Se...168273?hash=item48cf190351:g:rIMAAOSwFTddOV4b Mine does have bluetooth and sat nav if that makes a difference. Thanks for your work, you have spent a lot of time on this.

Yes that will fit an e89 Z4.
One thing to check, that unit is for a car with auto wipers (as denoted by the letter 'A' on the wiper stalk. As long as you have auto wipers it'll be fine, if not then look for one that has the three dashes instead '---'

Thanks, yes have got auto wipers. I was a bit worried about the year as none of the stalks mention being compatible for 2016. So looks like I will have to take the plunge. Thanks again. Chris

Hi Chris,
Don't worry one that'll fit a 2009 will fit a 2016 Z4 and work exactly the same because they are all the same.
 
Been busy this afternoon, cleaned up some new stock, nice n shiny now ready for customers, two are already booked out but I can normally get replacements fairly quickly.
Don't forget if anyone wants cruise control fitting just give me a shout :thumbsup:

Hello,

I am Cor and recently bought an e89 without the cruise-control.

I did read this item and want to retrofit the cruise-control myself, did earlier coding on my e85.
So i'm wondering if there is a fallback if it's not working?

I suppose just put back the original switches and put back the original man file, but what about the
other settings?

So long as you follow the instructions then you shouldn't have a problem, the only issue would be a faulty switch set.
But yes you would replace the original file. As for anything else then it wouldn't matter.
