Sorry for the late reply Danny174 ,

And congratulations on getting your cruise control retrofitted!
I am glad I could help.


For the sake of completeness what i ended up getting done (for now) was :
Cruise Control with Braking function (SA544) + Standard Instrument Cluster (base KOMBI) without the cruise control indicator

It took longer than usual because I was trying to get SA540 instead of SA544 coded on the X1 E84. The complications came due to the following:
1. SA540 was not offered as an option for E84 (only SA544 was offered)
2. The programming tools allow you to code SA540 to the car
3. While some of the ECUs in the car accept the coding of SA540, the DME/DDE do not and throw cruise control failure faults (which took a while to get to the bottom of)

Lesson Learnt: SA540 cannot be (easily) coded on the E84 BMW X1

I am now awaiting the re-programming (virginizing) of my replacement High-KOMBI with cruising speed indicator on the dial and then the retrofit will be complete.

A special shoutout to Simon and Raj @KYCS(KeepYourCarSafe) for persisting with my odd requirements and sorting everything out. I look forward to getting the remaining items on my wishlist done by them.
