Re: Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit

I did read your post. But my local, and usually pretty good, dealer say it can't be done. Mine's the GTi which is seemingly what's causing the issue with the VW computer saying no. Not the parts availability but the licence side of it.

Re: Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit


it is possible to retrofit cruise control to a 6c but it is a stalk that needs to be fitted and there is no way to do it via the MFSW


More than happy with a stalk (presumably replacement indicator stalk). I just need to find someone that will do it?

I'm usually quite happy playing about and ...

Re: Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit

Cheers have tried VW retrofit and he says no too unfortunately. As does the dealer and a couple of other places.

Where do I find him? Is that a forum user name?

Re: Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit


it's both possible via stalks as well as via MFSW.
either way, you'll need to go to VW to activate it, since it's a paid option. a process called SWaP and SVM will code the BCM and engine correctly, unfortunately normal tools as VCDS can't do this.


I haven't asked VW yet, I plan to try my local ...

Re: Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit

Thanks, I guess everything is possible if you try hard enough/pay enough.

Could the GTi not be specced with cruise?

We've just had a courtesy Polo and it had cruise on the left hand steering wheel buttons.

Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit

First post, so hello and this has probably been asked a few times but search isn't finding me much info.

We've just bought a 2017 GTi, no extras on it which is fine apart from the lack of cruise, which I assumed I could easily enough get fitted for around £300 ish. Has MFSW but without the cruise ...
