Cruise control plug

Post by Andrewandjenny » Sat Sep 23, 2017 8:17 pm

Hi all
Mine is a 2005 3ltr z4 just taken the lower steering clumn cover off and found these two plugs, one white the other black with 3 wires . Im i right in thinking this is the plug i need for the cruise control? If so why is this so as i am lead to believe the plugs were not fitted to 2005 cars unless mine was standing a while before being registered?
Anyone out there help please
Thanks

You can check when it was actually manufactured rather than register for the road. Theres a build date sticker on one of the suspension turrets.

Yes it look as if you have cruise loom.

As above due to when it was built, not registered.

Get the stalk and see if it fits ;)

Looks like the right one, if it isn't you just need the loom.

No lights/indication that CC is on/off unfortunately. Strange oversight.

I don’t understand this.

Foot off pedal on floor, car continuing at constant speed indicated by needle, why do we need another indicator :?
