- Ever since i purchased my 2012 Abarth 595 i have wanted to get cruise control. Thats when i came across the Precision kit, It is very easy to install and works just as well as any OEM/Factory cruise control system.
In todays video we learn how to install it at home with very basic tools.
Link to their site below:

At Drivenmad, we repair, maintain and upgrade vehicles in our workshop, here in the sunny Algarve, Portugal.
Having hundreds of kilometres of dirt roads, dirt tracks and various hills with ruts on our doorstep, we venture out and test our 4x4’s to the limit (our limit, not theirs )
When we can get one, we will slip in a vehicle review, along with some product testing - who does not want to know which tyre stops the best ?
So subscribe and join our journey as we modify, test and improve our cars in as many ways as possible.
You must love the tunes - so make sure to check out “Death Of Guitar Pop” for some awesome music!

Best explanation I've seen for fitting one of these. I've been putting it off but I'm going to fit one now. Thanks.
Great to hear - hope it goes smoothly - any questions we will do our best to help.
Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo, j'ai commandé le régulateur pour ma 500 Abarth, il marche très bien !
👍🏼
Hi Nath,
that's exactly I was looking for!
Cheers

Hi Nath.....
Another well presented and interesting video so thank you for posting.
Best regards,
Stefano
Glad you enjoyed it
I just had a 1100 round trip and I really missed something like this. For long drives it would be really good, having to keep an eye on the speed limit the whole way is really tiring. Thanks for sharing!
We did 800 yesterday to collect the old man's L200, just makes the trip so easy - plus Portuguese motorways are empty :)
great job my boy
Thank you very much!
Conrad anderson sell a similar kit but with a stalk that has 3 preset memories at double the price. I wasn't too sure about NCS-Systems, but after watching your video, I think I'll go for the same.
It been faultless ( 20k or more )
another amazing videoo! now I want a cruise control for my car 😍
Just take your feet off and stop pedaling 🤣
Another great video. I am going to see if they do one for my Panda Cross. When warranty expires I can hopefully fit one.
The kit will fit any car with a compatible ODB - plus you can just unplug it - old man me, could not see the point, but ..... works just like OEM, so me the sceptic, very impressed ! »»»»»»» as an aside, my main delight is the fuel saving, Nath keeps trying to snap my neck in sport mode, has to drop 2 gears past every wall or in every tunnel to hear it pop and bang, the cruise has calmed it all off -🤣 its like a limo now ( lets see for how long )
Great install video! Does it cancel when you kick the clutch too? We're moving to a rural area outside of Ourique in July. I'd love to get a Panda Cross, but the lack of cruise control was ruling it out.. it's back in the mix now, thanks!
Unfortunately I can’t answer that as my car is an automatic.
I’m sure on the website they will specify. Maybe send them an email if it’s not on the website.
It’s the best modification I’ve done to my car since I drive 6+ hours on the motorway every weekend.
Thanks for the comment 👍
That's exactly why I'm here too 😂
Just fitted this to my Nissan Note, and it was a bit of a nightmare. I couldn't have it plugged into the OBD port as the E11 is not compatible with the kit via the OBD port. I wired it all up, and it didn't work, I ran a diagnostic, and it wasn't picking up the VSS signal. Very long story short, I had to connect a 1k resistor to ignition live and VSS wire to clean up the speed signal. I also had to add a clutch switch, which meant taking the clutch pedal in and out a couple of times, make a small Y splitter cable connector for the brake switch instead of splicing into the cables, and take the stereo out to get to the VSS wire.
But what is strange is that yours is connected to the OBD, and mine can not work through the OBD, but yet they wanted me to get the ignition live from the OBD and the earth is wired into the pedal harness. So basically, yours could have been just simple plug and play. They could have run the ignition live and earth through the OBD plug.
That sounds a nightmare - ours was straight forward ish, but compared to you a doddle - impressed you achieved it. 👏🏼
Nice detailed video, does it mess up with the electronic throttle if you have it unplugged from the odb port?
No issues if you unplug, I have when it goes into the dealer for service - it works seamlessly ;)
Hello,
I have a little question,
When you are braking that stop de regulator ?
Thank’s for your return !
Yes, touch the brake and it disengages - everything is exactly as a factory fit unit in the other cars I have driven (Merc / VW etc)
can you test the Gearbox flasher from tmc motorsport?? its a flash for the mta gearbox
I have seen the gearbox flash tune online but personally I really like the MTA as it is, so I will keep it standard for now. Never say never though. 😉
@@DrivenMadShow yea i like it too , its fun after sitting in a car with DSG :D but im curios :D
hey guys i live in algarve to in this case in portimão and i have an abarth 500 esseesse and i want to install cruise control to you can do it for me? i like the way you did it on yous
It has to be a sorry no can do, we are very much unskilled amateurs and working on someone’s pride and joy, causing an issue would be a nightmare 🙈
Have you got a link for the OBD connection you paid £10 for was that on NCS website?
Hi,
The ODB connection was an option when purchasing the cruise control kit. I believe if you call or send an email to NCS they will sell you one. I cannot find it on their website so i think its best to contact them.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Hi Nathan, good video and on the basis of video I purchased the CC kit for my wife's Abarth however my ODB plug is stopping me putting the small trim covering the plug back into place because the plug is now protruding much more than the original empty socket.
Am stuck at the moment
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Rgds
Thanks for the comment!
Is your ODB plug with the kit the same as in the video? Mine has lots of space.
All I can think is that the ODB isn’t pushed on all the way? But that’s clutching at straws.
What age is your Abarth?
I hope you can get this issue sorted. 👍
@@DrivenMadShow thanks for quick response Nathan, yes I received plug with kit, car year 2021 Competisione UK spec, right hand drive. Looks like I'm goosed!
Well the wife's car is.
@@varnatkins6584 I’m really struggling to see how it doesn’t fit. Mine has plenty of space. Really sorry I can’t help. Best of luck 👍
@@DrivenMadShow just for the record Nathan, I have managed to 'force' the trim back into position but pushed up tight to ODB plug!
@@varnatkins6584 That’s not ideal but I’m glad it’s back in place. Hopefully it does the job 🤞
what screen u have there?
Here you go :). . th-cam.com/video/Z8zO-K774ew/w-d-xo.html
