How do you get cruise control?

I don't wanna be too stupid here guys, but can someone tell me what option you have to have bought to get cruise control?

Thanks

Anna

Yes the Bluetooth Pack gives you MFSW which gives you cruise control.

You get the centre armrest too!

I went for Bluetooth on my MINI and I can confirm it came with the wheel buttons and cruise control and, it's blimmin ace! Puts all your phones phone book onto the car computer, has voice dialling, all sorts, very good.

Bear in mind also that for another £65 (I think it was) you can have a cradle for your phone built into the armrest which hides your phone from sight and charges it up. Very useful.

I like 'em big...

Thanks Peachy (that may be too familiar as i don't know you, but hey i'm living on the edge here!)

To be honest i didn't want anything bluetoothy, i wanted the MFSW and the ipod interface and it worked out cheaper to get the Bluetooth package which incorporates both along with the armrest (which i couldn't help but felt it got in the way on testdrives, do you get used to it??) and the bluetoothyness.... which it should be fun trying to work!!!!

I prefer an armrest personally, but no I don't think it will get in the way if you don't.

Definitely get your phonoe hooked up via the Bluetoothinessness, trust me, it's brilliant.

And I quite like "Peachy" *blush*

As I NEVER use my phone while driving I have never seen the point of Bluetooth.

OK; I'll take the bait. Why did you want Bluetooth?
