Help installing cruise control on 2014 Vauxhall Corsa Excite

[dquelhas]

Make: Vauxhall
Model: Corsa Excite AC
Body: 5 Door Hatchback
BHP: 83.0
Engine Size: 1229
Year: 2014

Hi guys - I'm looking to install cruise control on my 2014 Vauxhall Corsa Excite AC. Did a few searches on youtube (I'm a complete newbie) and found a channel called "Bluudys Garage" with a video titled "How to Install/Activate Cruise Control".

He suggests getting a few items but, after plenty of googling, I still have a couple of questions:
- Vauxhall corsa cruise control stalk. There's plenty of variety for sale both on Amazon and eBay but I have no idea which to buy. Suggestions?
- OpCom software and a USB interface. Also plenty of offer on both Amazon and eBay but it all points to 2010 versions and my car is a 2014 model.
--- Will that make a difference?
--- And is it a problem OpCom is a clone?
--- Any suggestions on where to buy the software and the usb interface?

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers,
D

The easiest & cheapest way to do this is to sell your car & buy one with it.

Seriously it will cost many hundreds, take many, many hours of highly technical work and you will only lose what you put into it.

That is even IF you can find the correct bits.

While you're at it, make sure the new one has the auxiliary heater and sound system you want.

Isn't cruise control on a 84 bhp car just bolting the throttle pedal to the floor?

Apologies for the delay in replying. Posting was closed for new members yesterday evening. Thank you for the suggestion. I too am thinking about the same solution. Taking into account the other changes I would like to make to the car, you are very likely to be right. Appreciate the feedback.

Fair enough. I will make sure it will.
