How to fit Cruise Control - Fiesta ST180 

This was helpful thanks. A pro tip for others as i just did this now and hopefully this saves you some time and effort. He is right the airbag is by far the hardest thing to take out and all depends if someone has taken it out before or not thats how stiff the springs are. Now you can actually see the spring very easily by putting your head under the steering well. Now you can easily and i mean easily lift the spring with a very thin screwdriver over the latch as shown in the video however mine still did not let me pull it off no matter how much force i used. What worked for me is lift the springs so they clear the latch and with another screw driver push the spring back so it sits behind the latch. This is the only way the air bag will release and hold otherwise when you do the otherside the spring will just slip back into place. Trust me airbag 40mins later but cruise control fitted in 5min. Good luck hope this helps.

Probably the best video out there for explaining how to do this. One little thing that may help some others, you can remove the old sliver trim with the airbag in. This then gives you a bit of space to grip the airbag.

maybe show us the cruise control after fitted and activated completely:)

Thanks for talking through this, we did struggle a bit but you definitely did help!

This video is a highly recomended to watch 😀😀

Great vid mate. Thanks for the how to. Will give this a go on the weekend 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I bet if you have a relationship with your local ford service centre(garage) they will turn your CC on for a "drink") It's just a menu in the cars diagnostic screen that they turn to on. Or if you have a service (or as I did,change the brake fluid) they will do it FOC as part of the vehicle health check,that involves plugging the car into the diagnostic equipment anyway.

Helped a lot, unfortunately had to pierce the steering wheel to get the airbag out

thanks for the vid bought the same type leather steering wheel to replace the degraded rubber / foam one hope the "new" wheel was removed properly and that i can get the airbag off the stock wheel

good video. this is in my to do list so thanks for making the video

Hello All, I was able to activate the CC on my ford fiesta 2010, mk7. it works now. I have a question, don't I need to change any fuse for the CC key or something like that? I was also able to enable auto lock, which is very handy.I have also got experience with ForScan, there are videos for it as well so no worries, you can easily do it. Cheers !

Can u just change the steering wheel to the st3 and activate it

You just jank the spade connector (horn thingy) off or?

Very informative video hoping to find a donor like same ur steering wheel with cruise control for my ecosport titanium

Hi. why is a bad ideea to poke those holes next to the screws? i think by sticking a screwdriver or something with a flat end will push those little metal bars that holds the airbag and will pop out. is it not easier? can you please explain why its a bad ideea to poke those holes?

Is the peopke you use still going to turn it on ?

I have a twin originAl st wheel with cables buttons to sell if anyone is interested I sold my car st200 2017 . 250 miles . so I didn't make time to have this project done 😀shipping from Sweden a total guide is also written and explain great how manage to get it workin. With forscan box I hope this vlogger will show us how all is working I never seen st with cc before 😀not many on ebay left and I haven't seen any with st and cruise control after I bought mine. A good price with shipping

If you buy the new steering wheel was does all fiesta ST come ready for the cruise control to be turned on or will it need to be wired ? Thanks

Very helpfull, thanks for that! My 'new' donor steering wheel is currently on the way to the Netherlands from the UK. I've already activated CC using ForScan so hopefully it will be just a 14 minute job like it was for you.... just joking ;-)

Hi so with just the button of cruise control and the program you can run it ? I have a ford fiesta 2016 ecoboost automatic

Hey friend Can u send me the website where u order this?

I have a doubt, where would the cruise control connection, connect into? Any chance could you please send me that point in the video please? Tia

Hello! I am having troubles to find the steer wheel with the M instead of the face. Is it not posible to just use de cruise control button and the original M button from my original wheel?

So you have to go to a shop that will change the cars settings so it thinks it has cruise control?

Nice video! He says in the video that it is important that if you have a steering wheel with the "m" icon on the radio controller, then it must also be on the donor steering wheel and the same with the other icon. Are there anyone who confirm that? Because ofc is it eas

Hi pal what happens if I have the face on the volume and I’ve bought one with the M on with cruise control will it still work

Can you not just change the steering wheel rather then taking it apart ? Thanks in advance

Hi there, Great video with bags of information. If you are still active, I have a question for you. I can't see if someone else has asked. I have a Ford fiesta mk7 S. Using your video as guidance, would this still work on the S model? Many thanks

What conditions my car has to meet to have CC in ecu? I have a 1.25i 16valve engine early 2010 Fiesta. I have those buttona for the radio control but no Cruise control. How can I make sure the cc will work with my car before purchasing the parts?

Hi, I'm interested to install a cruise control on my transit connect! Can u do it?

i have a 2013 EU spec fiesta titanium but if i look to my steering wheel it isnt just plug and play the cables arent there is it still possible to get cc

Is yours keyless start? If so, how did you stop the electronic steering lock from staying on? Leave your keys in the car when you disconnected the battery?

Hello will the cruise control fit a 2014 1.0 ecoboost if i wanted to add it

Just fitted cruise control and rewired it all up and the horn isn’t working 😰

Man did u program it?

You just know so many people are gonna set the airbag off and get knocked out for hours😂 worth it tho

What have a sone wrong when I put battery back horn goes off ? Help

Nice! Where did you get your Ford Gel badges from?

Why did you not just put your airbag in the new steering wheel an fit that?

still waiting for my centre armrest to arrive... doing that this weekend hopefully. I might buy a wheel and an OBD ELM plug in and do the cruise myself too. looking back at this video would you do anything differently? cheers Andy

At the risk of sounding completely stupid, I guess you can do this on a Fiesta ST-1 that isn’t cruise control as a standard model? Awesome video though and I’m definitely going to do it, made it look simple, and definitely will watch the video on ForScan

Hello I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta. I already converted the steering wheel over for cruise control. What do I need to do now? Do I need to take it to the dealer and have them turn it on or what? would be greatly appreciated.

Hey mate, great video and very informative. Do you know if changing the car in this way would require you to notify the DVLA? I know they mention 'major modifications' but this doesn't seem major to me. Thanks!

Great video - Who did your forescan work?

You know when you're turning your wheel for the access holes does your steering wheel lock? mine does but mines key start, wondering how to disable steering lock if its a push start

I’m sorry to bother but I have a 2016 Ford Fiesta that doesn’t have cruise control. Can I add this if I just buy a steering wheel that has cruise ? What else would I have to do ? Thanks

In my case, what happens is install the FACE version cruise button onto on M button one car?

Do you know what happened to Obdiscovery ltd? As it says they have ceased trading. Thanks

Hi sir i m from india i have EcoSport titanium with audio controls but not cruise control, how to add them? Just switch or wiring harness?

hello I bought a 2015 Fiesta, it has no cruise control, if I put a steering wheel with the official controls works?

Do u know any other places that would do the Cruise control coz I looked up obdescovery and they a permanently closed

Do you know if you hold down the open button on the key fob your window will come down as the door is unlocked. ?

Zetec S owner here (early 2009 model) What happens if my column is missing the 2 extra wires everyone is talking about? I presume these go all the way to the ecu? Can / should they be retrofitted?

How do you get the central locking to work again after taking off your battery

Hi, I have listed all my questions. 1. Is it really necessary to have donation wheel? I saw on aliexpress, they only sell the Cruise control button an few cable. And maybe I need to buy another silver hatch. I think there is no need to buy the entire steering wheel. 2. Do I have to disconnect the battery? Because we are accessing the airbags? What happen if the battery still stays in? Let say I will open it carefully. And what could trigger the airbag? 3. In other video I saw some guy add the cruise control without opening the airbags. Is that possible? 4. Can I add cruise control button without removing battery and airbags? Some people says it will reset the system. The well known is time and date were reset, dont know if there is any others. And adding information, ford dealer and service is out 5 years ago from indonesia. We still got the parts, but hard to upgrade in case we need something like this CC. Oh ya, I was using ford fiesta 2014 facelift Sport. Waiting for your reply. thanks

Hi so i wanna buy a fiesta st which has no cruise control in it so i can just get a steering wheel with the button in it and just plug it all in and it works or do i need to get a cable in there etc?

Hiya mate, got a few questions to ask if youre stilll active

So all you need to do is change this and you will get cruise control ??

Would this work on a 2009 zetec s?

Can you share some details on activating the cruise control with forscan?

Hello , where you located ? I have a ford ecosport 2017 and I want to add cruise control . Can you send me a msg please ???

Sea Sick. Great video, if a little shaky. You say literally and basically far too much :D

You paid £50? You can just use a elm cable and forscan🤣

Does this work with the mk7 fiesta Zetec s
