Cruise control & Steering wheel retrofit

[mcosti]

Hello guys. I hope you don't mind me speaking in English, but I guess Google Translate would be even worse.

I just bought a Skoda Fabia 2 BZG, 2008. It has the new MFD(isplay) and I was wondering if there is anyone in NL who is willing to help me retrofit cruise control on it(I will pay, of course). I found this piece that seems to fit:

But I saw that there are some cables that needs to be rewired (on some Russian video from Youtube). I have changed some things on my car so far, but I never mingled around the steering wheel/airbag.


The second question is: Is there any steering wheel that has controls/buttons on it and doesn't need a different airbag?

Thanks guys.

Call VAG Service in Nuenen, they 're known to do such things.
And there 's a company in The Hague that retrofits car electronics, vut I don't know their name.

Don't now where you live in Holland
But i think that VAG Techniek the best is for this to do !
They build it in and program also and after a hour wait you drive away on CC

On my old VW Caddy the dealer told me that it was not possible to build it in
After a email with Vagtechniek i get the answer that it was no problem and the next week they build it in into a hour !

I live in Amsterdam, but I am willing to go 50-100km. But I worry that one of these garages might charge a ton of money

Retrofitting isn't that hard, if you know what you're doing. I have retrofitted (on vw's) mfsw, gateways, ...
i have no expierence (yet) on skoda as this is my first one.
I don't know what modules are present in your car, but cruise control was not that expensive when i wanted the retrofit done by the vw dealer on my mk5 golf, i think somewhere around €500 (this was back in 2010, so prices may have changed).

it takes a fair amount of research and finding out what is fitted already in your car, and then buying the parts needed.
Kufatec is a good company to buy from, but there are cheaper alternatives if you look for them (ebay for example if you know what parts you need).

if you feel you are not up to this, the best option is to contact a shop, but like you said, they might ask for a decent price.
