06' R53 Cruise Control

I am going to the car meet H2Oi in Ocean City Maryland from where I live it's a 19 hour and 32 minutes drive and I was wondering if it would be possible if I could install cruise control because I don't have it and that would be a painful drive. If I can how much would it cost?

i dont understand how you wouldnt have cruise control, but i would think its a simple flash of the ecu, its an electric throttle, so long as you had the buttons for controls

Nope....not really doable....Not that it hasn't been done...but simply put the time and parts (if you can scrounge them up junkyard style) is more time consuming than one might think....
When new, a couple dealers said ok...then decided to just reorder the car..it is a COUPLE DAY install if I recall right.
