Cruise Control Retrofit

[PhilCS]

I wouldn't mind fitting CC to my 987.2 and was wondering if anybody can recommend the best place to get it done, or whether it's a relatively easy DIY with just ordering the parts.

I had it done ot the OPC and cost about £300.... I thought it was well worth it and it's very handy for when your in speed limited contra flows and average speed cameras

I retrofitted CC to a 986 Boxster a few years ago.  From memory the new stalk unit cost around £110 from my local OPC and a friend did the ECU coding to switch on the CC function (this was after my OPC tried and failed to do it!).

 

I heard that Porsche significantly increased the cost of the stalk units but as a DIY it was pretty straight forward, providing you have access to someone who can do the coding which requires a Durametric Pro or Porsche factory PIWIS/PS2.
