My A4 cruise control was a new stalk and steering wheel electronics which were the expensive part.
The reprogram I did using the VAGcom software and cable, so free. Is there something similar for the Volvo?

easy, its just an indicator stalk. all the hardware is there already as its drive by wire.
The main stealer can only do the software bit apparently.

Was the same with the Audi. As long as you can get the cable and software, I'd put money on their being a guide to reprogram the ECU on

is that from a ovloV main dealer?
Is it not something an independent specialist could do?
IIRC when I asked about having cruise control retro fitted to my old Leon, the main dealer quoted in the region of £100 for supplying and fitting a
new column stalk. The functionality was already present in the ECU, just needed the controls to access it.

I shal search the web. The figures I gave were mates cost rates anyway. I'd hate to think what it would cost joe public
The functionality is all there apparently as its drive by wire.
