Germany - Cruise/Tempomat Retrofit Coding

pondweed · Zuletzt bearbeitet von 265 am 06-01-2007 13:28, insgesamt einmal bearbeitet

In UK several owners are nearing completion of cruise control/tempomat retro-fitting. I have assembled parts but my dealer/garage said they could not enable the cruise function as it was part of the pre-delivery inspection car set-up.

I see from the forums that several people have been successful with retro-fit in Germany.

Is there any advice re. the Testbook computer/T4 procedure for enabling cruise on a non-cruise control vehicle, or could anyone suggest who might know?

regards

Hello from Germany!

The mechanics in my garage (thread: http://www.r75.info/modules.php?nam.....92&highlight=tempomat) took some photos from the testbook screen to send them via fax to MG Rover UK. The old configuration would be needed to get the new one with cruise control capabilities. Some days later my garage got the new codes, but they were wrong - the cruise control got disabled after first usage of brakes and could only re-enabled via switching off and on again, but not via steering switches. But the second try by MG Rover UK was successful. All this happened after bankruptcy of MG Rover UK, so just tell your dealer to contact MG Rover central.

Sincerely
Jens

Thanks! We now have a contact for OMITEC who wrote software for and provide support for Testbook T4. They have ZCS Request forms and can do the recoding, perhaps in future through the XPart dealers.
Getting there gradually....
