Default Cruize control install

Does anyone know what it is exactly that the dealer needs to do to enable use of the cruise control ?

No but interested also, I want to install it on my 2016 FXSB Breakout and on my 2018 FXFB Fat Bob. The installation itself is not worth telling but I also want to now if it is really needed
to let the dealer activate it. On Beemer it also was said that the dealer need to activate it but after I installed it, it just worked only it was not visable in the dash, that was all.

From another thread in this forum....

mine was installed at the dealer last week.
they pop it in, run the wire, and enable the ecm. they charged me $110. a fair price i think.

If your going to buy one .. get it from Surdyke and save yourself about 50 bucks.
​​​​​​​they are selling it for 204 shipped.

Yes they run inside the bars, you remove the oem left lower part from the original button housing and replace it with the cc part. It' about a 10min job on a Fat Bob.

Unfortunately I live in Belgium and I will be forced to pay $ 365.00 a piece, that is the price overhere. It is a simple rule if you want to know what a part costs in Europe,
you ad at least 80% on the US price .

Ordering at Surdyke with overseas shipping cost , import and handling taxes will do me no good. If someone buy's it for me and ship it as a gift then it is free of extra
import and handling charges.
