DaveEFI Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 In London UK, much of it now has a 20 mph speed limit. Does a cruise control work at 20? If so, is it possible to retro fit one at a reasonable cost? My previous 987-1 had cruise, but never tried it at such a low speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 According to the manual it will hold any speed between 20 and 150mph. I recently fitted to mine and it was about £300 in parts (new) and then you need it coding in PIWIS. An easy install though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Mine does ~25/28mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camels Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi @DaveEFI I am also in a 20mph borough (Richmond) and factory-fit cruise on my 2011 987.2 works fine at 20 - was a bit surprised at first that the PDK always wants to settle in 4th gear for such a low speed!

Yes. Mine does too. And quite tricky to maintain a constant 20 ish MPH, compared to my other car. I'm told the official - ie government way - to make this easier is to lock it in second gear. So much for the environment.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 My car drones horribly below 3000rpm, if i was sticking to a 20 limit i think id be in first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Cruise seems a bit unwieldy for a stop start urban environment. Is there a speed limit beep on the car somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a speed limit beep on the car somewhere? There is and it’s in the OBC options. “Acoustic warning signal for speed limit” shown as the LIMIT option. Can be activated for speeds above 6mph. Page 94/95 of the 987.2 Driver’s Manual covers it. Edited April 3, 2022 by iborguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other cars I've had with cruise, it had a dedicated control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Cruise has its own stalk and is one push on the end to switch the system on and then one push of the stalk away from you to set the current speed. Touch brake, clutch or press the stalk down to disengage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
