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).
