Retrofitting Cruise Control to my MK7 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost | HOW TO

In this video I’m retrofitting cruise control to my MK7 Fiesta in preparation for a big road trip. I’ve read a few posts online about the process and what is required to be able to retrofit this factory option so I would give it a go and show you guys how to do it.
If you’re looking to do this for yourself then I hope you find this video useful - if you did, please give the video a like 👍🏻 and consider subscribing.
To program the cruise control once fitted I used FORScan - here is the link to the FORScan website where you can download the software for yourself: forscan.org/ho...
You’ll also need a USB to OBD2 adaptor - this is the one I purchased: Vgate vLinker FS OBD2 USB Adapter for FOR-Scan HS/MS-CAN Auto Switch amzn.eu/d/81yktVb
The cruise control buttons and loom I bought secondhand from eBay.

Another great video! Regarding the 9 vs 7 wires on the clockspring connector, the 'missing' two wires are used/required to connect through to a resistor ladder in the cruise control switch which allows the state of all five buttons to be determined (each button introduces a different value resistance into the circuit thus changing the voltage drop across the wires). These two wires are the black and green/brown wires in positions 9 and 8 respectively (far left as seen in your video at 3m14s). Incidentally, note that the cruise control switch has another pair of wires to it but they are just for illumination and they piggyback on the same illumination supply that is present for the audio control switch.

What year fiesta can cruise control be retrofitted too? Would it work for all MK7 from 2008-2017?

@konstantinoskaparelis6701 Год назад

Hello @mathewnewton3499, Do you know if you can still retro fit cruise control, if wires in positions 9 and 8 are missing? I assume that some wires/components need to be added/replaced. Do you know which are those components?

@bartsmith7428 4 месяца назад

Thanks for that very detailed explanation. I hope my ST has the wires at the ready.

@TerribleFire Год назад

Ok so i watched this video and then attempted to retro fit my 2009 fiesta which only had 7 wires with CC. I wired up pins 27 & 28 from the Instrument control panel to the two missing pins on the clockspring connector. Did everything shown in this video. For a while i couldnt get it to work and then I went for a run on the motorway and found i had to be over 60KPH for the CC to engage. I'd been testing at 25mph. If this is something people want i could do a video of this on my channel.

I’ve been a big fan of your videos since you began your channel and having both the same Models of Fiesta as yourself, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching you put your brilliant skills at use! It’s wonderful to also see how many people (including myself) you have helped, inspired, educated along the way!

I went ahead and did this today, it genuinely is easier than it seems and anyone can do it. My advice for the hardest part (taking out the air bag) is use a small flat head screwdriver to get the best access, also lie the other way round on the seat and look from underneath the wheel lol. I was at it for a good hour until i tried to brute force it, turns out it needs a fair bit of force don't be scared to break anything.

Thanks for this informative video! I managed to fit my mk7.5 new steeringwheel with cruise control and programmed it using forscan. I had an issue with my usb ELM 327 with ms/hs switch. It couldn't connect to my car at all. I bought the obdlink EX from amazon which worked without any issues with the fiesta. Just FYI for anyone who is planning this retrofit, don't buy the ELM 327. Its junk compared to obdlink EX.

@davecooper7048 3 месяца назад

Great video. Used this after fitting steering wheel with cruise control to my c max. Had to do a couple of extra steps in Forscan though. As well as enabling cruise control I had to go into Engineering 1 mode and select Adjustable speed limiter then change it from without ASL to with ASL. Write this change the same as you did for cruise control. Then most importantly you need to go into DTC on Forscan and clear errors. (I had B112B steering wheel module error). After that cruise control worked fine.

I read that the 7.5 all have the wires.

@@MendItModIt So I removed the airbag, cleaned the metal ring and metal pads on the steering wheel and refitted, this hasn't fixed it. I then removed the horn itself from the car and tested it on the 12v battery using 2 leads as per the 2 videos below (2 different methods) and the horn didn't sound. Do you think this confirms that the horn itself is at fault? While the horn was off I cleaned all the connections to it etc. If so this does seem odd as it was working prior to this job. However when I tested across both pins in the horn I was getting about 0.4 Ohms, so there is continuity... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NSHdTyK9AGk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d980sdQ1hRo.html

@@Nyle95 there’s a metal ring that runs around the back of the air bag and one of the spade terminals connects to that, it’s the ground for the horn. That ring makes contact with the three little metal pads on the steering wheel when you press the horn.

Hey man, Very good video. Did you use the sound controls button from your old car and just connected it to the new wiring loom that you got? Becase I see the donor one is with the "M" button for the audio controls, which means it came from a car without voice connectivity etc and I saw here and there in different places and videos people saying that if you have a car with no voice connectivity you have to get a donor cruise control from a non voice connectivity car and respectively if you want to install cc on one with voice connectivity you have to get a cruise control from from a car with voice connectivity. Because the loom for the two buttons in either case is one piece, but now I see that you can just plug the different button. I'm guessing your voice control functions work as well as your cc now? Thanks!

@MendItModIt Год назад

Yeah I swapped them over from the original. But neither of the sound controls worked at first, I had to enable those with forscan too. Again their are different options depending on which set of audio controls you have but I assume it depends what version of the audio system you have as to which buttons you can install for audio

@aeobs Год назад

@@MendItModIt That is very useful to know. My car is with the "M" button that comes with the most basic audio system, without bluetooth etc. My donor cc is combined with the "voice button". So if I just swap the buttons, my voice controls probably wont work. In the best case you just have to get the corresponding cc combination, but what you said about reprogramming the aduio control button as well as the cc one is very helpful. Kudos that you mentiond the 9 vs 7 wires thing as well, that will save a lot of time and effort for a lot of people.
