Cruise Control MS50

Great kit at a good price for older/simpler vehicles. Unlike many 'kits' everything needed is in the box no matter the installation. Does not require master mechanic status but it is imperative that the instructions are read....and followed, the odd negative reviews I've come across sound as if the reviewer didn't. I have a thirty year old motorhome and this is a welcome cost effective addition.

This is the second time I install this setup in a car. Works every time.

This review will probably not be posted by Amazon. Lets see. First of all: This cruise-controll is made way to complicated with to many compromises to reduce parts. For example, the emergency cut-out switch was made with one single wire detecting weather the brakes are applied (curent on), weather the clutch is applied (grounded via brake-lights) and as a "bonus" it checks if your brakelights work (it uses a brakelight-bulb as earth). Of course if you have LED brakelights, it no longer works. If your brakelight-switch switches earth rather than current, it no longer works. Etc etc. To many "smart" ideas together make a recepy for failure. Anyway, After instalation the unit did not pass its selftest and thus was clearly broken. I asked Amazon for help and they gave me 3 options: Have a replacement send asap and return the broken item within 30 days after receipt. Send the broken item back and receive a full refund. Or, keep it and receive a partial refund. Naturaly I opted for nr1; Have a replacement send asap so I could swap the broken part (the controll-box). But, when I informed Amazon of this, a few hours later, they had changed their mind and told me I first had to send back the complete unit and order a new one myself (and pay for shipping old and new unit etc). There was no arguing, they kept their foot (rather boot) down. After removing all parts from my car, causing permanent damage to the dashboard due to drilled holes and the (very high quality) double-sided tape that fixed the buttons in place, I followed the "return items link" they provided me... which did not alow for a return (Return window closed it said). Now comes the really "good" part... I tried to communicate this problem to Amazon in various ways, but Amazon is now ignoring my attempts to contact them. I receive the standard message "we will contact you within 6 hours"... but no one does. So utterly childish... Hence... No more Amazon for me... Never ever. The manufacterer, Waeco, does also not know what customer-service is. I have 2 years warranty, but no one answers emails not phone.

Gooooood by.

I've been using one of these for years on my motorome back and forth to Spain. Magnet and solonoid on the prop shaft for speed sense. Took about a morning to fit if memory serves.Don't leave home without one. I love it JRP

Very good kit, easy to install. I too used the electronic input to speedo. The system works very well and I use it all the time.

I fitted one of these about a year ago to my Mazda Bongo. The speed of the vehicle has to be read by the control system and a few options of how to do that are supplied. I used the, for me anyway, easy option of connecting it directly to the speedo electronic input and this works perfectly. Good instructions are supplied to help you do this. I lost the use of my right arm 2 years ago and still managed it OK so it's not hard to fit. Although there are some issues about slightly more fuel being used in hilly areas, I find that one of it's good uses is setting 30 mph as it's so easy to drift past it and get points, and that don't mean prizes. Does what it says on the box and I'm very pleased with it.

Only suitable for urban driving as ceases to work over 50 mph. Waeco has ceased to respond to emails.

J'ai installé ce produit sur un Renault Espace 3 2.2 TD de 2001. Ce n'est pas un plug-in, ce montage réclame quelques compétences en mécanique et électricité automobile car il faut intervenir à plusieurs endroits mais c'est faisable. L'utilisation s'avère facile et excellente. Jusque là rien à dire si ce n'est un temps assez long ( quelques secondes ) pour atteindre la vitesse choisie après avoir appuyer sur SET.

Unser VW T3 mit Turbodiesel ist der ideale Anwendungsfall für den Regler, denn er hat noch den unbedingt erforderlichen Gaszug. Kein Krampf im Gasfuß mehr beim moderaten Fahren mit gleichbleibender Geschwindigkeit. Die eingestellte Geschwindigkeit wird ziemlich genau gehalten, +- 5km/h. Die Nutzung ist einfach, intuitiv und entspricht der Beschreibung perfekt. Bei stärkerem Geschwindgikeitsabfall bergauf schaltet der Regler bei 15km/h Differenz ab - was mancher Autobahnsteigung zusätzlichen Reiz verleiht :-)) . Oldtimerfahrer haben ohnehin eine entspanntere Sicht auf's Fahren. Der Einbau ist wohl nicht überwältigend problematisch, dennoch habe ich es aus Bequemlichkeit der VW-Werkstatt meines Vertrauens überlassen. Deren natürlich akribisch überprüfte Arbeit war perfekt, siehe der hervorragende Einbauort der Bedienung nahe am Lenkrad - und Garantie auf den Einbau gibt's auch. Eine rundum genlungene Nachrüstung in Sachen Bequemlichkeit, Sicherheit und Sparsamkeit. Jetzt rollen wir tiefentspannt auf längeren Strecken und der meterweit entfernte Diesel im Heck brummt ruhig im optimalen Drehzahlbereich gleichförmig vor sich hin.

L'ho installato sul camper, un Ducato x230 2.8 tdid del 2000, ma dovrebbe andare bene per tutti i veicoli con acceleratore a cavo. L'installazione non è molto complicata, ci vanno 6/8 ore in funzione dell'esperienza, della manualità e del tempo che ci si mette a scegliere la migliore collocazione dei vari sensori e della tastiera di comando. Inoltre le istruzioni non sono molto chiare e dettagliate in alcuni punti, quindi ci va un attimo a incrociare le informazioni presenti nella parte di schemi e immagini e la parte descrittiva. Il funzionamento è molto semplice, del tutto analogo a quello dei comuni cruise control delle macchine. Si attiva alla velocità che si vuole mantenere premendo il tasto SET e questa viene mantenuta per centinaia di km senza perdere o guadagnare 1 km/h. Inoltre si può aumentare o diminuire la velocità agendo sui tasti set e reset della tastiera. Si disattiva appena viene premuto il freno o la frizione (sensori dedicati), e si può riattivare alla velocità in memoria premendo il tasto RESET. Devo dire che è davvero un buon prodotto, fatto bene e capace di ammodernare anche mezzi vecchiotti.

Lo montaron en el taller, no hubo forma de hacerlo funcionar y además el taller me cobro la mano de obra que no fue barata.

Ottimo prodotto per dotare la propria auto con acceleratore a cavo meccanico di Cruise Control, a mio avviso indispensabile per tangenziali e autostrade. Mantiene in modalità ottimale la velocità impostata e una volta inserito permette di risparmiare molto carburante essendo l'accelerazione sempre modulata automaticamente in funzione della pendenza stradale. Per fare un esempio ai 70 km/h consumavo circa 5,5 L/100 km (dato del computer di bordo della macchina), ora, attivando il cruise control, consumo circa 4,8-5,0 L/100km... un bel risparmio sulle lunghe percorrenze! Unica nota negativa: le istruzioni non propriamente chiare. Consigli: se avete una macchina senza servofreno o fonti di depressione (es. motore turbocompresso) a cui collegare questo prodotto, dovete scegliere il suo fratello maggiore (sempre Waeco) apposta per tale tipologia di motore. Stesso discorso per le macchine con acceleratore a filo elettronico, alle quali serve un altro prodotto ancora.
