Cruise Control question
 
I'm trying to piece together a cruise control assembly to install in my Ti and I have a quick question regarding what's needed.

Apart from the actuator/cables and switch, what else will be required to install cruise control on the Ti? I'm curious, is the control module built in with these cars or do I have to source the module along with the harness from the switch?

You need the control module too.

I installed cruise control from scratch, never got it to work though. I went to the dealer and he tried to code it, but he said the speed sensor wire from the gauge display wasn't getting to the control box.

Just one wire got missed, too many wires under the dash to sort through, I gave up.

I was able to retrofit OEM fog lights and OBC though.

If and when I part out my car, I will sell the entire CC as a package. The harness I have was new from BMW.

I retrofitted cruise control on my 98 base model. I chased the parts, both new and salvage, and had my indie mechanic do the installation. The whole thing cost about 1k. One bit of advice: don't use a salvage wiring harness.

Thanks for the input guys

You can install it your self pretty easily.
Salvage everything except the wiring harness. All the parts are readily available from bimmer forums. You can basically grab parts from any e36 except for the actuator and bowden cable which need to be 4cylinder specific.

Does an auto 1997 318 ti have all the plugs in harness needed for cruise control?

You have to install a wiring harness specifically for the cruise control.
