Audi A4 B6 Cruise Control

[amz]

Hi all,

I want to fit Cruise Control to my A4 B6 SE Saloon but needed some help and guidance.

I've read the following below and understood that 3 Spoke Steering Wheels support the Cruise Control function.

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 (does NOT support Cruise Control!)
  • Part Numbers: 8E0-953-549-F 8E0-953-549-S
• Midline
  
  • Supported Steering Wheels: Standard Steering Wheel (4-Spoke), Sport Steering Wheel (3-Spoke), Multi-Function Steering Wheel
  • Supported Features: Trip Computer, Cruise Control
  • Part Numbers: 8E0-953-549-L, 8E0-953-549-N
• Highline
  
  • Supported Steering Wheels: Standard Steering Wheel (4-Spoke), Sport Steering Wheel (3-Spoke), Multi-Function Steering Wheel
  • Supported Features: Trip Computer, Cruise Control, Steering Wheel Heating
  • Part Numbers: 8E0-953-549-M, 8E0-953-549-P, 8E0-953-549-Q, 8E0-953-549-R

I was looking to upgrade my 4 spoke steering wheel to 3 spoke steering wheel regardless of cruise control, so I thought it would be a bonus if it did support the cruise control function.

I've purchased the 3 spoke steering wheel and cruise control switch from different sellers which should arrive at some point next week. I understand after I fit them to my car it will need coding via VCDS.

Is there anything I have missed out such as additional parts in order for the cruise control to work?

Any help much appreciated.

why do you need to swop from a 4 spoke to a 3 spoke ... i have a 4 spoke wheel and i fitted crusie

All depends on the part number of you steering wheel controller, which you can only know when you take your wheel off.

I like the look of the 3 spoke steering wheel rather than the 4 spoke steering wheel.

Do you know which part numbers are/aren't compatible? If it is not compatible then how much is a steering wheel controller going to cost me mate?

Thanks mate, very useful guide!

I'm guessing I wouldn't need the steering wheel controller then?

 

[Mike.M]

The part numbers are n your first post

 

[amz]

Sorry I was under the impression the steering wheel controller was an additional part other than the steering wheel itself.

You can read the part number of the SCSM using VCDS (VAG-COM) without dismantling anything.

For that I believe you need the full version of vcds, but unfortunately I only have the vcds lite version

 

[Mike.M]

You will also need the full version to activate cruise and reset any ABS issue

 

[PetrolDave]

See Ross-Tech: VCDS: Function Table for the differences between VCDS and VCDS Lite.

So I've finally found out my steering wheel part number with VCDS Lite, my part number is 8E0 953 549 F - which I understand is the lowline module.

Does this mean I'll need a new steering 'module'?

I'm assuming changing the steering 'wheel' is pointless?

 

[stu_m]

Yes you will need a new module for cruise you need a mid line or high line module

Hi mate, I have a "n" module for sale if interested mate. This will support cruise and a MFSW upgrade.

I'd be interested - what sort of price are you after?
