jonnyp Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 I’m just about to bite the bullet and get cruise control retrofitted to my tiptronic 987.1. Any views on how good it is in action? i.e. does is adjust the gears to maintain set speed when going up/down hill? or am I being overly optimistic?

Paul P Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 dont know about the .1 but the .2 with pdk is documented to perform downshifts when going downhill to maintain a set speed, but I think engine braking is more applicable to the pdk than the tip.

Verner Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I recently got the Cruise Control Retrofit on my 2006 Boxster S (Manual). The Cruise Control does reduce the throttle but I am pretty sure it doesn't apply brakes to slow down. Really glad I got the Retrofit. Would definitely recommend it. Hope this helps?

Cruise works just the same as you moving the throttle pedal to maintain a constant speed. If the auto needs to change up or down, it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderclub Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 am I the only one who wants to remove the cruise control as I think the extra stalk is ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to disconnect if you're serious and there are plenty who would bite your hand off for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderclub Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I wonder if it needs coding after i disconnect it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't code it out of the system you will get error codes in various modules. You probably won't get warning messages on the dash though.

All fitted and works as expected - simple but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubdubz Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Did you have to get it coded to work, approx how much ? (priv msg is cool) Think I'd like it for the longer runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(priv msg is cool) Think I'd like it for the longer runs I can definitely recommend it if you do any long motorway stuff. Had mine done in time for the recent run up to Scotland and with smart (oxymoron!) motorways and road works it was a boon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
