Where to get cruise control fitted . . . suggestions?

Post by paulgs1000 » Mon May 01, 2017 8:28 pm

Going to need cruise this season so want to get it fitted (from what I've read my 2006 wont have the plug in loom option so will need a bit more fitting) - preferably by someone/somewhere they've done it before.

I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne - anyone have any suggestions? Cheers.

not too far for you...

Prestige German Cars http://www.prestige-german-cars.co.uk/

Noting my local dealer wanted to void the warranty claim on an o2 sensor a couple of months after fitting of cruise at prestige and then charged me the thick end of £80 to rectify and make good the wiring in the DME where "someone" had spliced "something" in to the loom leaving bare soldered wires!!

Otherwise fine!

Looks promising chris - but that fitment :cry: I've read the 'how to' posts on the forum and seen basically what's needed - would hope for better than bare soldered wires . . . hmm.

wonder if redish motorsport would do this for you?? when the wiring starts to get messed with it needs to be done to a very high standard.

If you find someone good, let me know. I'm also planning to get cruise fitted to my Z4C.
I have heard recommendations for DWMotorworks, but have no experience of them

Did you find someone near Newcastle?

I'm looking for a good indy and these guys are almost within walking distance!

Would be handy to know of any experience with them...

Cheers!

I fitted it myself using the instructions available in this forum
If doing it again I would buy one of srhutch's looms.
