SupporterSo here is a list of the Puma cruise control options I found when looking, along with links. I did get prices for each option but wont be posting them in fairness to individual installers, distributors etc. (I can PM if you require). Hope this helps someone along the line.
For what its worth, I have booked in to get the Lite-On AP900 with CM-35 stalk installed. Reasons I chose this were that this stalk seems to be the best design IMHO, price (although was not the cheapest, it wasn't the dearest), local support from installer etc.
Good luck.
Tim.

As a followup to the Autostrada unit I have installed. Headed over to Autostrada Friday and had the BI coloured LED installed. Used it in anger over the week end and it made my life easier would recommend going for the two coloured LED. Had a talk to the chap over there and the two coloured LED has always been available just need to ask for it and add a few dollars.
Cheers

Wow I must be cheap...I am finding it hard to justify spending upwards of $700 for something that essentially will only keep the speed of the vehicle constant....

SupporterJust got back from a test drive having installed Autostrada eCruise to my 2.2 130 HCPU this arvo
Works fine, and even performed at speeds of less than 40 kph
Chose to buy it as a kit and DIY. The instructions provided are basic and adequate. Identifying the correct wire at connector 1040 pin 13 (vehicle speed at instrument cluster) has the potential for confusion as there are several Red/Black wires. Use a meter to confirm the correct conductor
Took about 3 hours but most of that was running cables neat and secure. Needed to make 4 solder joints in existing wiring 1 at the connector to the instrument cluster, 2 at the brake switch and one on the clutch master switch.
The ECU fits neatly under the dash- The only criticism on the installation is the connector jumper for the accelerator pedal is a bit untidy. Will probably extend the existing connector guard to hide and protect the extra connectors

could you not buy some of the aftermarket switches available on the market (ebay/aliexpress etc) and wire them into the centre of the steering wheel?

SupporterHere are a couple of pics. One showing the location of the stalk and one of the accel pedal jumper connectors. Plan to fabricate a cover to protect the extra connectors
Done a few more trips and happy with the unit. Holds speed within a few kph . Tried it at low speed in lower gear and it drops out at 36kph

SupporterSumming up from my earlier research posted, I had the AP-900 cruise unit installed with the CM-30 stalk. Stalk went behind the wiper switch and is easy to reach and use. Only criticism is the over/under speed is a bit too large (6-8kph either way) on only gentle undulations.
Overall I am happy with the unit. And is not too much hassle to cope with the over/under speed.

Hi All -as its been a few years since posts on Cruise Control for Puma 2.2 - does anyone have any updates or comments. The Autostrada and Command AP900 seem to be the options. Whats your advice before I pull the trigger for my MY15 D90. Cheers!

I've had the Autostrada unit on my MY12 pretty much since it was new. My controls are a stalk mounted behind the wipers on the right hand side of the column which I believe is the only option.
The standard install is a unit with a single colour LED to show if it's on or off.
Probably me but I had trouble with setting it at the correct speed or even telling whether it was engaged or not, I eventually got a two colour LED which shows if it has been set as well, much better.
It works as it should and while I am happy with it and would not put you off buying one , don't expect anything fancy in terms of functionality.
I am sure you are aware of this, but with the defender being a modestly powered diesel, there is no cruise control that will make it perform well in hilly terrain
Cheers Glen
edit - sorry I'd forgotten that I had posted to this thread previously.
