Ouch! I think I will give it a miss then

Seriously what were you thinking it'd cost? £20 and a drink for the mechanic? tbh id be shocked if it were anywhere near that cheap!

That was a bit uncalled for dont you think?

As I just said, on plenty cars it's a very simple job - so it was a perfectly valid question

Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so how much it would cost to fit a cruise control system on a Hyundai i20 Comfort 2009 model?

All that money and it didnt have cruise as standard? You'd need to ask your dealer because bodging it aftermarket style will void your warranty.

Why did you link us to the site for the brand new i20 when you have an older model?

He must be on commission from Hyundai...

^^^^ as already stated. That implementation is standard nowadays on Toyotas.

a bit slow with your brick there

I was wondering about retrofitting OEM cruise to a 2007 Cmax - apparently if the wiring loom has the correct bits, it's just a new steering wheel and an ECU flash. If not, it's a whole new loom, which apparently is £££.

Any way of easily checking if the wiring is there to do it?

No, actually I was willing to spend up to £200, but its not worth it for me if it is going to be more than that!

£200 wouldn't cover the fitting cost from a toyota dealer.

I've fitted cruise, it's really not that difficult, I paid £150 odd for the parts and fitted it in a few hours on my driveway.

To a Toyota Corolla?

That doesnt help much unless its the same car as I could say i did it for £50, which we did to an omega as all you need is a CC stick (£32 dealers) and activate it (£20 via guy on omega forums)

I can't believe my evo doesn't have cruise control. It's almost as if it wasn't anywhere on the design brief.

Will look into options in earnest.

I don really think cruising is what they had in mind when they designed it

To be honest I can't see the parts being hugely different, if a car can come with cruise control, you can retrofit cruise control easy.
