Multi Function steering wheel

[Telboy81]

Can someone please list what you can actually control with this other than the stereo and is it worth getting?

Cruise Control comes with it. Everyone on here will tell you to get it, having said that I didn't. It depends on how much your spending if you want to keep costs down, you can live without it, but if your going for a high spec whats an extra £170?

Come to think of it, why didn't I spec it? Too late now.

Cruise control is a nice feature for motorway use....

If you went for the Bluetooth option it is also needed.... But Bluetooth option is very expensive here so i did not opt fot that...

also...if your thinking about getting the retro fit Ipod conection it controls the Ipod that is hidden in the glovebox

I have it in mine, and i always use my cruise control. defo worth having if you can afford it.

I didn't relise it ment adding Cruise Control...But agree...Its worth having...I mainly liked the look of it on the 3 spoke wheel and thought the stero controls would be safer to use while driving

Specifically, you can control:

Audio
Increase/decrease volume
Switch between preset radio stations (up and down, in number order)
Seek/tune to another radio station
Skip forwards/backwards between tracks on CD/current iPod folder etc

Cruise Control

Telephone (works with both factory Bluetooth and some aftermarket)
Answer incoming/end calls
Activate voice-control

I think you'll find that the consensus will be that it is worth having. I certainly wouldn't be without it again.

sorry prob a real novice question - how can you have cruise control on a manual car?

do you just select the gear and select the speed and off you go?

[Vinnies' Mini]

Presume I'm doing this correctly....

on duel carrigeway or motorway....driving in 6th gear turn on the cruise control.....use the + or - buttons on right hand side of wheel controls to set speed.....the minute you touch the gears or break after this it will deactivate for saftey.....If driving using this be aware...keep foot near break in case some lune pulls out in front of you!!!

It also does the voice control if you have specced it!

Ive got it and would recommend it just for cruise control if you do a lot of motorway driving, also good for controlling the stereo
