Whys that, just wondering, or do we have a plan?

Well. I need to update the ECU to tell it I have fitted cruise control. So I needed the location of the socket.

Oh right, is this an aftermarket cruise control or a VAG system you have fitted.

VAG unit. Got the parts. Just need to make time to fit it.

Interesting! How much did that cost?

Correct me if i'm wrong but if its the same as the >>01 A4 all you should need are these parts
* New Column stalk (think they're about £90)
* 6 pin adapter (about a £1)
Then its just the case of reprogramming the ecu I believe.

Interesting.
And who can reprogram the ECU, just a VAG dealer?
Is that the score with the Polo sparkstack?

Nelson : the parts came in at £65 inc Vat so your not far off there, good guess.
Mole : I have the VAG-COM software and an interface lead to a laptop. So i can do it myself. Take a look here :

You fitted it yet?

Nope 
A few other things crept up the "to do list". Plus we are having a spot of bother with VW, for info see Not Happy. Oh, and i have only just managed to secure a cheap old laptop for the software, after having to threaten police action to a guy who took my money and ran, on a dabsxchange auction i won. Hopefully the laptop from ebay will be at work when i arrive tomorrow.
So, when the VW fiasco is sorted, and i have a laptop to run the software from, and i get a bit of time to myself, i will get it done.
