MoTeC Global Forum

Anyone made cruise control happen on a hundred series ECU with DBW? I am using it with an ADL3.

I believe I have had this conversation with MoTeC technical support, and their position was NO, for various reasons, including public liability and duty of care. After all it is a system that applies throttle without driver input. OEM's spend man years on it and have way better insurance than us normal folk.

Some other ecu's offer it onboard, or you can buy retrofit kits for most cars with DBW.

Really dont see how there would be any liability issues given all such ecu's are sold for motorsport use and not intended for road use. And lets face it, there are a gazillion other aspects within a calibration that could cause all sorts of bother nevermind cruise control....even more so with DBW.

just have the cruise unit pull on the DBW pedal, from memory there is a statement on here somewhere that there will be no more Mx00 development.

I agree with a lot of that Stevie, was just relating my conversation with tech support. I was talking to them specifically about a road car application though.
