cruise control on 99 symphony

To ease my aching legs on long drives, i am considering having cruise control installed on my 99 symphony, any suggestions much appreciated

RhinoInstalls and Dave Newell are companies that come to mind. There are DIY kits but I think you would have to very good at such things to consider it.

Hi there,

We had ours fitted at Conrad Anderson over two years ago (along with a Caro automatic satellite system) and both have worked fine.

We were happy with the price and the workmanship and they can provide an overnight stop if it takes that long.

Best regards,

My duetto has Cruise control as standard bit I don't use it except for odd test each year. I follow advice to rest every two hours to keep up alertness etc so I stop and go to loo ( its an age thing) then drive on in hope this five minute routine every two hours is enough . It has been so far but as a wag in america pointed out you can not set it and go in the  back to make a brew thats still under development

If I were you, the first thing I'd do is ask the base vehicle manufacturer (is it Ford) whether that model / year is already wired for cruise control. I didn't know that my 1998 Clubman [VW] was. So I paid hundreds for an unsatisfactory after-fit. Only last year, thanks to this forum, did I discover that my van is already wiise control. Works a dream!

thank you to all who gave advice, i have decided on a nationwide fitting service, again many thanks

Phil from Rhino did my 98/99 Harmony last summer, had a few hiccups but he came back and fixed them with no problems. I'm in Southampton and he's oop north, distance was no issue.

Having had it done, the drive from here to Bristol is a joy up the boring M27, M3, A34 and M4, yawn ......

I think it was Dutto who gave me some advice and that was to just keep your foot v.lightly on the throttle at the bottom of any uphill stuff until you feel it pick up and then leave it alone.

I usually cruise at about 58mph and found you need to read the road quite far ahead especially if you're coming up behind lorries limited to 56mph coming up, and it's a 2 lane carraigeway, to make sure you've got a gap in lane 2 for pulling out in good time. Of course, you can always give it a squirt to get past and let the CC pull you back to the original set speed.

Did I mention the joy ?????

By the way, Phil gives 5% discount to ASOC members and I persuaded him to do the same for ASOF members too.
