Cito Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Guys, one of the updates I would like to do at my Cayman, is to fit a cruise control. For this, I think it make sense to replace the computer control with the cruise control stalk and fit a multi-function steering wheel to control the radio. If this is correct I would need: Multi function steering wheel Cruise control stalk a cruise control unit (I am not sure about the name) Is there anyone who has done this in the past? Any thought/idea? Cheers, Andrea P.s. I am sorry for my poor English but I hope you understand me 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 you can get it retro-fitted at a Porsche OPC. I think it was about £600 in the UK when I last looked into it. Maybe someone can enlighten us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you MJ, I was wondering if I could have a list of bits to buy in order to fit them on my own, because it seems it is just a matter of a few bits (the stalk and what else...?).Probably the most difficult part is the coding...which I've got someone can do that for me. Probably if I can find what to change, at the end I could save a few quids... Cheers, Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm E Cay Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It is a doddle to retrofit cruise on a 987, I did it on my Boxster years ago. Took less than 20 minutes. I ended up getting the OPC to code it in though. Total job cost around £350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I've had cruise control on several of my cars over the years but have to say I think they're pretty pointless... Only used mine a handful of times (just cos it was there) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of thise thing that you don’t feel the miss until you have not tried it...at least for me 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinners1983 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Can you buy all the parts necessary these days? I'd like to do this myself... My friendly neighbourhood Porsche specialist quoted me £492 which is cheaper than Porsche but would like to save the pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friendly neighbourhood Porsche specialist quoted me £492 which is cheaper than Porsche but would like to save the pennies. I found the cruise stalk on eBay (in USA) and the 4 stalks (I did not find just the cruise alone) costed me 200 $ all included. Arriving today. On top of that you have to buy the steering wheel column lower panel. I found that always on eBay USA. Both, top and bottom, paied 74 $ all included. Plus you have to find someone able to do the coding. To a specialist it should be around 80£. I am planning to sell the remaining bits after the mod, so you at the end I’m very far from the quote you got... i will I’ll let you know as soon as I have done all... cheers, Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better search of eBay has meant I've found the 4 stalk column and the panels for £331 delivered to me. Not bad. Is there a helpful "how to" guide around?

There are plenty of videos. Lucky me, I found a guy who is going to help me to fit everything up and do the coding Edited March 21, 2019 by Cito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
