In-Car Cruise Control With StalkDriving can sometimes be a bit tedious, with your foot on the throttle pedal concentrating on just keeping the speed in check.

A drive around the M25 would probably be a great cure for insomnia.

    This is unless your car is fitted with cruise control. Offered by some vehicle manufacturers but usually only on their top models. After market mechanical cruise control can sometime be fitted to "Drive by Wire" vehicles but in a lot of cases it is impractical because of the work involved in fabricating brackets to attach the cruise to the throttle pedal safely.

    The system, as explained in the title, will fit most vehicles which operate on "Drive by Wire". This basically means that vehicles throttle system operating electronically, rather than by a traditional mechanical throttle cable.

    The AP800 is an electronic device, unlike previous cruise control systems which have worked through a mechanical linkage to the throttle cable, the creation of a "Drive by Wire" interface means the system is more like the factory fit with technical information and universal or plug  connection cables available for each vehicle on the fitting application guide.

     The AP800 also features a number of safety features. It can be switched off by either pressing the brake pedal while driving, or pressing the off button on the command stalk. It also features under speed dropout, should the car slow to below 75% of the set speed it will automatically disengage the system. All these features are designed for peace of mind.

    The AP800 can also be equipped with different command modules including left and right hand stalks and a steering wheel mounted control. Also, in order to get the correct initial settings, the AP800 programs all it's parameters by, using new 'self-learning' technology.

    There are many benefits of cruise control, apart from the obvious opportunity to relax whilst driving. The system can also help reduce fuel consumption by constantly controlling acceleration, help avoid accidental speeding, especially as now many motor ways have speed cameras, and also reduce exhaust gas emissions, providing a greener outlook.

    Vehicles featured in Laserline's fitting guide can be seen in the table below, but the list is always being updated with new applications being added. For more information you can check the our website or contact 0845 430 1245.

    For an approximate installed price of £479.99 (depending on the vehicle), you get a product which from many dealerships can only be factory ordered, if it is even offered at all. This is for professional fit only, and is a similar type of installation to that of a security system.
