Audi A5 B8 OEM cruise control retrofit in progress

Has your Audi ever felt like it’s missing that one feature to make long drives bearable? For Adam, that feature was cruise control—and now his A5 B8 glides effortlessly down the motorway thanks to a full OEM retrofit using genuine Audi components.

Genuine Parts, Factory Fit

We haven’t had an Audi A5 B8 in for a cruise control retrofit for a little while, so it was great to see one back in the bay. This retrofit followed our usual standard: using only genuine Audi parts, properly routed wiring, and full integration with the vehicle’s existing systems. From the cruise stalk to the wiring and interface control, everything was designed to function as if it had been installed by Audi themselves.

Coded for Seamless Performance

Once fitted, we coded the system directly into the vehicle’s ECU using a combination of ODIS and VCDS. The result? A fully functional cruise control setup that communicates with the dash cluster, steering electronics, and powertrain just like a factory-installed solution. No glitches, no afterthought modules—just clean OEM performance.

Just Like From the Factory

There’s something satisfying about a retrofit that looks and feels like it was always meant to be there. The cruise control now displays correctly on the instrument cluster, responds smoothly, and integrates perfectly with the car’s other systems. From the stalk’s tactile feedback to the smooth acceleration hold on the motorway, it’s everything you’d expect from a premium German saloon.

More Than Just a Retrofit

What makes this retrofit special isn’t just the hardware—it’s the process. We don’t just plug in a stalk and call it a day. Every retrofit is precisely configured, coded, and tested against factory parameters. We also performed a complete diagnostic scan before and after installation to ensure there were no hidden issues—something often overlooked unless you specialise in vag retrofits.
