M4RC Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I currently don't have cruise control but does anyone know if it's possible? ive heard from some people that it's possible and some say not. Would I just need the steering wheel and it activated??y standard plate is - BV15 TCZ if that helps cheers Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It should be possible, you would need the button, loom for inside the wheel and the trim piece. Better off finding one on eBay of Facebook parts pages, you need one from a 2013onwards car as the prefacelift cars had red illumination. it will need programming, most dealers won't do it or won't know how to, there's a guy on Facebook who can but he is in Sussex, so nowhere near you. Some one mentioned you can but a ELM lead and if you download Forscan you can do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I had cruise control fitted to an 06 Fiesta. It was done by a firm near East Midlands Airport that I found on the internet. The guy that has the car now tells me it's still working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFiesta Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm also keen to do this. There was a thread, I think from the guy on Facebook that enables it, that had information on how to tell if your car can be fitted. Unfortunately I can't find the thread now. It was something about whether the loom had the terminator inside the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The car I had done was an 06 Fiesta Ghia. The guy said it was the only model of that year that could be done because it had the right loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour wouldn't be an issue as I've done a full SMD conversion anyways so I'll alter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasajack Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Sorry to bring up an old thread but did you manage to retrofit one Mark? I'm looking at options for my 2014 fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm pretty sure that this is the guy that fitted min: http://www.ncs-systems.com/cruise-control-installation.html However you can google cruise control fitters and it comes up with dozens.

Thanks for your help. Pretty much it :) You'll need forscan and an extended license to do the work too Just make sure you check you have the wiring present, and make sure you purchase the correct year (prefacelift/facelift are different colours, I made this mistake and swapped with marc as he's converted his SMDs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
