VW Transporter T6 Cruise Control installation and Steering Wheel Upgrade
This T6 Cruise Control installation gave a 2016 Transporter a proper comfort upgrade — pairing a genuine cruise control stalk with a sporty flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel. The result? Long-distance drives that are smoother, safer, and just a little more stylish. 🛣️🛠️
Ever wished your van could hold a steady speed on the motorway or let you skip the radio fiddling on the fly? This customer did — and they left with both problems solved in one visit. We fitted and coded a cruise control retrofit using the original VW stalk and added a DSG-style flat-bottom multifunction wheel that feels as good as it looks.
Factory Feel Without the Dealer Price
This wasn’t a universal cruise kit or a wheel pulled from a scrapyard — we used OEM components throughout. The original-style stalk integrates seamlessly into the existing controls, while the new steering wheel connects via CANBUS with full functionality retained. Media, calls, and instrument cluster toggles are all at your fingertips.
Tested, Coded, and Ready to Roll
Every VW T6 Cruise Control installation we carry out includes full VCDS and ODIS coding. This ensures the vehicle’s ECU recognises the new stalk and enables cruise functionality without fault codes. We also perform a steering angle calibration and check communication across all relevant modules — essential for reliability on VAG group vehicles. This work required a full airbag removal, which we completed using proper safety protocols.
Clean Finish, No Compromises
All wiring was routed through factory grommets and secured using OEM methods. No cable ties dangling from the wheel, no patched-in wiring looms — just a clean, professional job. Whether you’re driving through city traffic or cruising up the M6, this upgrade feels like it should’ve been there from day one.
Comfort While You Wait
This combined retrofit took around 3 hours to complete. While we worked, the customer relaxed in our waiting lounge with coffee, free Wi-Fi, and a view into the workshop. Prefer to head out? Higham on the Hill has a few scenic walking routes and nearby cafés. We aim to make your visit as smooth as the upgrades themselves.
Thinking of Upgrading?
We regularly welcome vans from across the UK for OEM-style vag retrofits like this. If you’re considering a T6 Cruise Control installation — or want to pair it with a multifunction wheel — this is one of the most practical upgrades you can get. It’s especially popular with Transporter owners doing long hauls, camper conversions, or seeking better cabin ergonomics.
Based in Nuneaton, we regularly work with customers from Redditch, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester, and London. Whether you’re local or travelling in, we’re easy to reach — and worth the trip. 📍
