Cruise control retro fitting
- Thread starter jonathanw
- Start date
Timely request, as it happens. Porsche have released retro fitting of cruise control in the last couple of days. Price will probably be in the £500-600 range but unlike the 997 retro fit is spec dependent. So a quick call to your dealer with the chassis number should answer the question.
Unlike the full postcode satnav software upgrade of which there is no news.[

Do you have any details about cruise retrofit for the 991 because I asked about it at OPC Hatfield today and they said it was not available. I indicated that I had read on the PCGB Forum that it had recently been released but they were not aware of it.
Is there a specific Porsche bulletin or similar that I can direct them to?
I had cruise control retro fitted to my Spyder before heading off to the LeMans classic last summer.
After this I suffered various problems with my fuel gauge and the car had to go back in to the OPC a few times. We finally discovered that my car was built with the (rare) optional long range fuel tank although this never made it on to the spec sheet.
All is good now although to adhere to the lightweight philosophy of the Spyder marketing team I now need to put 10 fewer litres if fuel in when filling up.

The 64L tank was an option that cost more money so in your case 'more is less' [
Means I can do more laps at Anglesey before refuelling!
I am quite pleased really!

OPC Swindon aka Dick Lovett were informed by the factory this week of the retro fitting option. As Rob notes, it will be important that they have the build sheet to tailor the fitting to the car to avoid potential glitches.
I also asked them to resolve a rattle which appeared to be coming from the dash on the nearside. They have diagnosed it as a noisy top suspension mount - surprising on a 2500 mile car. Apparently it's the second one they have had the problem with.
Do they give any discount to PCGB members?
In my experience they are open to a little bit of negotiation, PCGB membership helps.
