VW Sharan Cruise Control Retrofit for Cost-Effective Driving
This VW Sharan cruise control retrofit was all about delivering full functionality without the factory price tag. The owner wanted better comfort for long motorway drives—and we delivered a neat, cost-effective solution that keeps all the original features intact while skipping the OEM-level expense.
Ever found yourself on a long journey, wishing you didn’t have to keep your foot glued to the accelerator? That’s exactly what this Sharan owner wanted to fix. With our aftermarket cruise control kit now fitted, they can maintain a steady speed with ease—ideal for motorway cruising and long-distance drives.
What We Installed
We fitted a high-quality aftermarket cruise control system that integrates seamlessly with the Sharan’s electronics. It uses a factory-style stalk and mirrors the original features you’d expect from a dealer-installed setup—without the inflated cost.
- ✔️ Full cruise control functionality using a factory-style interface
- ✔️ Professionally wired with no dashboard clutter or aftermarket button mess
- ✔️ System tested and confirmed with diagnostic tools for fault-free operation
- ✔️ Designed to keep costs down compared to OEM kits
Why It Makes Sense
This upgrade is ideal for people who want practical comfort without breaking the bank. Whether you’re heading north to the Highlands or cruising down the M6, being able to maintain your speed effortlessly is a game-changer for comfort and fuel efficiency. And since the system works exactly like OEM, there’s no learning curve—just click, cruise, and relax.
How We Did It
Before fitting, we ran a diagnostic scan to ensure compatibility and check for pre-existing faults. The install involved removing the steering wheel and safely handling the airbag—following best practices like disconnecting the battery, discharging residual power, and locking out connectors. Once fitted, we ran through a full coding session using VCDS to enable cruise control in the ECU and confirm function across all modules.
All wiring was routed using cloth tape and existing factory looms. This means no rattles, no exposed wires, and a completely OEM-style finish. It’s a textbook example of why our vag retrofits are trusted by Sharan owners across the UK.
Comfort While You Wait
Most VW Sharan cruise control retrofit jobs take around 1–2 hours. While we worked on this one, the customer relaxed in our waiting area—complete with free Wi-Fi, hot drinks, comfy seating, and even a smart TV. You can watch the work from our viewing area or pop out to explore Higham on the Hill while we handle your upgrade.
