Seeing cruise control come alive in a Vanagon is like seeing cruise control for the first time. I found it magical to see it happen. I'm doing this to mine.

It felt like magic after all those years of not having it! You won’t regret putting it in. Nate

How do I ADJUST my Roastra cruise control? It lets gor for any hill and most postholes☹️

@ThatBaldwinLife 6 ай бұрын

You need to adjust the dip switches on the unit. GoWesty has a starting point for settings in their instructions and TheSamba has many threads outlining dip switch settings that others have used. Nate

nice.. will it work with a 1980? thanks

@ThatBaldwinLife 11 ай бұрын

It will work with any vehicle as long as it has a pull type throttle body, so yes it should work on your 80. Is that carb or FI? Not that it really matters, just curious. nate
