I gather from your post that you've >had some problems with it? I found out, that the Audi 5000 cruise control is same as VW used to build into the Vanagons. Just the speed pickup has little differences. I got an original VW installation guide, and it is that simple to build in. I just bought a new switch for the turn signals, which includes all necessary switches to control the cruise control unit. All other parts I took from a salvaged Audi. It is not ready installed, but the installation procedure will be found on my web site end of November (hopefully). Regards Helmut '80 Vanagaudi |
