Hi everyone

I have a limited number of cruise control systems for sale. They come with the factory switches for your steering wheel & these have LEDs so you can see what the button function is in the dark.

It will take a couple of hours to install & the details are documented. You only need to connect 4 wires (12V, brake x 2 & speed sensor) to get it working, plus the dash light input (from cig lighter) if you want the switches to light up.

You also get the stalk control which you use to program the unit to work on the factory controls & you can even configure it for various levels of responsiveness (tip - leave in factory settings to start with).

The audio controls come in the same harness so if you have the factory sound system then it will just work.

Cost is $490 delivered for the whole kit - an absolute bargain since these ones are typically $900 installed without the steering wheel switches.

PM me for more details.

Cheers, Leon.

Hi Leon

Do these only work with the factory buttons?

I have the Momo steering wheel, so this means that the OEM buttons do not fit... Does it come with a stack or button controller as well?

Nick

Hey Nick. Leon supplies the stalk too (which you need temporarily to program it). I think there's someone over in the other forums who has fitted the stalk because they had a Momo wheel.

This should also make it cheaper because you won't need the OEM buttons.

Hope that helps!

Some reading for you Nick

It would seem that my PNM35 has the same cruise control... or at least the same stick to control it.

Hi Nick, what was said above is entirely true.

However, I assumed that most people would want the steering wheel controls so ordered only one less set of controls than I had units to sell. Murphy's Law dictated that the first person to buy one had the Momo wheel & hence didn't require the Nissan controls. That means that I need to include the wheel switches with every cruise control or else I will be left with spares.

So I'd rather not sell the CC without the switches at this stage. There's enough interest by the looks of it to have them spoken for by early in the new year.

It's a popular cruise control, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was fited a/m to your car. Maybe you could integrate Nick's factory buttons to yours, lol.

And swap you column shroud...

Hi Leon,

So how do I get a set?

Nick

installed cruise control on this Christmas holiday. Awesome. but, I prefer to use stalk control rather than OEM wheel button. coz, it has more function. ^^ Thank you, Leon

PM sent (awesome one :) )

Thanks Leon,

Arrived in the post today... Hope to get it fitted over the weekend...

Anyone know someone looking for a set of audio or cruise steering wheel controls... :thumbsup:

Yes. If you can wait until receive mine, I'll also swap the fascia so you done have to cut (and mine won't have the hole)... if you want... and Jules pulls out.

Leon, may have some cash for you this week. :thumbsup: Can you please send your details through?

Dont know if I want the controls either if anyone is chasing some. May just use the stalk I think.

My pleasure mate. Glad you're happy.

Re extra functions available with the stalk, - all you get is a toggle switch on the end which allows 2 preset speeds. The same can be achieved by putting a 2 position toggle in the dash & wiring it in where the steering wheel switches connect. The main unit reads a different resistance for preset 1 & 2, in exactly the same way it knows what button on the wheel was pushed.

The only benefit of stalk over buttons would be the small amount of time saved by not pulling the steering wheel off & wiring/plugging it in. I'd take the tactile feel & factory look of the buttons any day, but that's just me :geek: .

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
