Installation & Wiring

In general the whole retrofit is just plug and play except that one wire may need to be added.

• Wire T20d/13 from steering column control module to engine control module (see wiring diagram specific your particular car/engine).
• Install cruise control capable lever (see parts catalog/repair manual).

Activating Cruise Control

• Change Steering Column Control Module Coding.
• Activate Cruise Control in the Engine Control Module.
  • See Engine specific Diagnostic Procedures, it's most likely a Coding or Coding-II involved.
