Hi
I am about to take delivery of a used A2 1.4TDi Sport (upgrading from a Honda S2000!) which unfortunately does not have cruise control fitted as standard. I am VERY interested in having it retro-fitted but as the car is only 9 months old I want to maintain my Audi UK warranty.
I have spoken to many Audi dealers in the UK and they say one of three things:
1) It's easy, just change lever and tell the CanBus that cruise is active
2) It's not possible because of the CanBus
3) It is possible, but can be a nightmare
Now, I do lots of work for car manufacturers and have a very strong background in electronics. So I would say from other postings here that answer 1) is the correct one, but there can be slight complications relating to what wiring was fitted in the car originally.
My question is has ANYBODY got their local Audi dealer to do this upgrade (UK only please) or can anybody recommend a local Audi dealer whose technicians can cope with the concept? I know AMD effectively offer this service but a)It may cause warranty problems and b)Through my work I can probably get the mod done at cost from a dealer.
