Default Cruise control question.......

On the new B8 A4 you can set your cruising speed by a set mph. toggle the lever up and down effectively lowers and raises the speed by 1 mph per each toggle. It sure is nice when you are going 60 mph and want to raise it to eaxctly 65.......five toggles up and it is set and it shows the speed you just toggled it to, no more guess work.

I ask, because on our 2007 Q7 we do not have this feature. Do the 08 or for that matter the 09's have this feature? I am hoping this can be added per a vag-com and would need the code.

Default Thanks for the info, I am going to look into finding the code. You wouldn't happen.......

to have a vag-com? If so, maybe you could share the specific with us 2007 Q7 owners.

Default My '07 has that feature

I'm not sure it is 1 MPH but it lowers or raises the speed by flicking it up or down.

Default Figured someone would beat me to it, but checked tonight and 08 can do it.

The cruise handle even has little up down indicators on them. Does your not have that. Would be interesting to see if that can be VAG'd.

Default Yeah mine too but click up 5 times in quick succession...

it does not move up 5 increments. You actually have to hold it while car responds to make it change.
Well mine does anyway.

Default Ours does too, but the computer area between the tach and speedo wil.......

indicate what speed you just changed too. So, instead of guessing you want to increase 5 mph, it will show you the speed you have selected, up or down.

Default Yeah, the cruise handle does have the arrows on it. I am guessing their is a vag-com.......

code I can use to give me this little extra feature. If anyone who has this feature and has access to a vag-com, maybe you could share what code your particular Q7 is set to.

Default must be vagcomable :)

I would guess on euro spec vehicles the increment is different, so it must be programmable.
I don't have a vag-com myself ... come to think about it that's truly odd for a geek like me.
