Has anyone used this company to fit cruise control to their V8V?

Cruise control? Are you mad? That's for luxobarges and the like, not for the Vantage!!

In all seriousness, it's very useful when in roadworks with avg speed cameras.......
Wouldn't aftermarket it though. You may be able to retrofit the oem one (though have some recollection you can't...)

Personal preference I suppose. I have it on my Range Rover which I've owned for the last 2.5 years and only used it once.Wouldn't aftermarket it though. You may be able to retrofit the oem one (though have some recollection you can't...)
I just don't get cruise control at all.
Then again, I retrofitted powerfold mirrors to my Vantage as mine didn't have them when I bought it. I'm sure a lot of people would think that was a waste of money

+1......Might as well get someone else to drive for you. I've had cruise control for over 9 years and never used it once. Always found an Accelerator and Brake pedal to be pretty useful going through avg speed cams.Then again, I retrofitted powerfold mirrors to my Vantage as mine didn't have them when I bought it.

Powerfold Mirrors on an expensive car, however, is an emminently sensible idea.

Peter - Under no circumstances do you EVER need to justify an opinion on this Forum. Your's is as valid as anybody else's.
Agree with this and apologies if my comments made you feel that way - it was not my intention hence highlighting that it is personal preference.The problem sometimes with the written word rather than verbal communication especially as I still don't know how to do those smiley things!
It still doesn't answer your original question though!
I wouldn't consider buying a car without cruise. Its really reassuring in avg speed areas, or roads with loads of cameras, to just set the limit, press a button and then know that you're not going to get points by not concentrating.
I'd like to think I'm really good at going fast, but need some help when going slow!

Having OCD, cruise needs to be fitted with the phone controls too. Symmetry.
The perforated leather's nice
Quinny - rocker switch (vertically oriented) behind the wheel turns cruise on and off. The '+' or '-' buttons on the front of the wheel can be used to set the speed at current or increase/decrease it. Think there's a "resume" button to take you back to the last known speed too.
It's easy, and as mentioned very useful in avg speed roadworks.
Would never use cruise control on a road with loads of normal speed cameras.
