Adding cruise control to a Volkswagen up!
The up! is a cheerful little city car that ends up doing far more than city driving. Students head off to university in them, commuters use them on the bypass, and second-car owners take them on the motorway when the big car is busy. Many were sold without cruise.
Small car, surprising mileage
The up! is so easy to own that it becomes the car everyone in the house grabs. That means it covers more motorway than anyone planned when they bought it. A driver tucked into a small cabin for a long run notices every missing comfort.
Keeping pace with lorries and limits
A small, light car can feel busy among heavy traffic, and drivers tend to grip the wheel and push the pedal harder than they need. Speed rises and falls with every gradient. The driver arrives more tense than a car this simple should leave them.
The up! retrofit
CAN KONTROL CRUISE takes speed information from the up!'s network, leaving the pedals mechanically untouched. Once age, engine and switch choice are confirmed, Chorley configures the unit for your car. The up! was also sold as the electric e-up!, so say which you own.

Questions about the Volkswagen Up
- Can the e-up! have it?
- Mention that yours is electric. We check that particular car before configuring anything.
- Is the unit shared with a SEAT Mii or Skoda Citigo?
- Those siblings are close, but programming targets the actual car. Include the make and model when you write.
- Is a car this small worth the bother?
- If it spends regular time on fast roads, yes. The type of driving decides it, not the size.
