Bobr Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Paul is right. I had cruise control fitted to a 2006 Fiesta when it was new and it cost £400 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tebba Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi, I'd stick to the original mk7. 5 type to guarantee compatibility as wiring / airbag might be different, ask on the forum though as someone might have already fitted one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFiesta Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 If your loom looks like this in your steering column then you already have the wiring and sensors for the OEM cruise control. You just need to add the steering wheel switch and activate with Forscan. Lots of guides on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN FISHER Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks to David and Paul for their advice. I have bought correct steering wheel on eBay for my 2018 Fiesta 1.0T ecoboost powershift titanium and need advice on what exactly I NEED TO TRANSFER from the new wheel to MY CAR? Jack.

You can simply swap the wheel (there’s good guides on YouTube) or swap out the switch and silver trim - you can do that without removing the airbag if you’re careful. You then need to activate the CC using Forscan. There’s a couple of good guides on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmondo1601 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Thanks for this fix, just what I need. Only question is how do I activate the Forscan? Is this something i can do or does a main dealer have to activate this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
