Ok, for the sake of discussion let's say your North American 2004 Jetta TDI doesn't have Cruise Control.

You will need to add:

1)A new turn signal stalk with the controls(same for all model years)

2)Wiring from the stalk(including the connector) to the ECU via T10E(orange connector) in the water-tight box under the wiper motor. If the wires from T10E to the ECU don't exist, you'll need to add these as well.

You will also need to activate the ECU with a code using Vag-com. Go to www.ross-tech.com to find the activating procedure code.

They all have cruise control. If my '02 GL with zero options has cruise, they all have cruise.

Correction, he could be talking about a New Beetle, in which case the GL's don't have cruise. It'd help to know what model we're talking about, because I know in the US, the NB is the only model that doesn't have cruise on the GL.

I just checked VW's website and the Beetle GL has speed control. It's not optional.

it was an option but you need the stalk a couple of relays and the code done..I found out after I drove it home that it wasn't on the car..So I'm looking into the parts ,praying the harness is installed already in the column

I just got off the phone with a VW dealer salesman. They say every VW Beetle sold in Canada has cruise. In addition, they only have GLSs, which have heated seats, mirror, etc.

How could it not have cruise?
