Requirements

Steering Column Control Module

There are 3 types of steering column control modules, only 2 of them support cruise control.

  • Lowline
    • Supported Steering Wheels: Standard Steering Wheel (4-Spoke)
    • Supported Features: Trip Computer
    • Part Numbers: 8E0-953-549-F
  • Midline
    • Supported Steering Wheels: Sport Steering Wheel (3-Spoke), Multi-Function Steering Wheel
    • Supported Features: Trip Computer, Cruise Control
    • Part Numbers: 8E0-953-549-L
  • Highline
    • Supported Steering Wheels: Multi-Function Steering Wheel
    • Supported Features: Trip Computer, Cruise Control, Steering Wheel Heating
    • Part Numbers: 8E0-953-549-M


Note: When replacing the steering column control module you may need to learn the vehicle identification number (VIN).


Installation & Wiring

In general the whole retrofitting is just plug and play, only one wire needs to be retrofitted.

  • Wire T16a/5 from steering column control module to engine control module (see specific engine wiring diagram).
  • Install cruise control capable lever (see parts catalog/repair manual).


Activating Cruise Control

  • Change steering column control module coding (see vehicle specific diagnostic procedures)
  • Activate cruise control in the engine control module
