Cruise control question?

I am looking at a 2008 MCS that does not have the multifunction steering wheel and I was wondering does that mean it does not or can not have cruise control. What is the advantage of the multifunction steering wheel over the plain, no buttons?

Rename you thread title. Naming a thread Question is nonsensical, non descriptive and violates forum policy. What if ever thread was titled Question?

According to the www.usamini.com features list, the multifunction steering wheel allows the driver to control audio, cruise control, and Bluetooth phone (if so equipped) using the buttons on the steering wheel.

You can retrofit it if you want. I have done this. PM me if you are interested.

Can the car have cruise control without the multifunction steering wheel? The seller say it has it but it is the plain steering wheel.

A 2008 MCS w/o a Multi-Function Steering Wheel would not have Cruise Control!! Ask them to let you Test Drive it and them be the co-pilot and show you how they operate the CC??!!

Agreed, it has to be on the steering wheel unless like Porthos says, it can be retrofited. Maybe he knows how to hook one up outside of using the steering wheel.
