Retrofit cruise control for the Kia Picanto
The Picanto is about as small as a Kia gets, and it spends nearly all its time in town. But many owners also have a regular motorway trip, and in a tiny car that cannot hold its own speed, that trip drags.
A city car with a motorway habit
Young drivers, second-car households and anyone after low running costs buy the Picanto. Plenty use it for a weekly visit to family or a commute that includes some dual carriageway. That is when the gap becomes obvious.
Little engine, restless foot
A small engine needs more throttle to hold pace up a hill and less on the way down, so the driver's foot never settles. Over an hour that becomes a nagging ache, and wind or traffic makes it worse.
The Picanto setup
Picanto units leave Chorley programmed and pick up the little Kia's speed from its network, adding nothing to the pedal. Older and newer Picantos are not the same underneath, so the year really matters. Tell us that and the gearbox, and we handle the rest.

Questions about the Kia Picanto
- Is it overkill for a car this small?
- Not if the car does regular longer runs. The decision is yours, and the fit can be confirmed before you commit.
- Who fits it?
- Picanto drivers usually take it to a local garage or vehicle electrician. The unit turns up ready programmed for the Picanto.
- Can I cancel the set speed quickly?
- Yes. A single cancel gives the pedal back to you, and resume returns to the speed you chose before.
