Who makes/where can I get a decent add-on cruise control kit for my GL Golf? Yeah, I know I shoulda went with the GLS but I have a fear of power windows. Any info would be appreciated.

I know a lot of car stereo/car custom shops do it

I know APR have devised a way to access the ECU to enable cruise to work in conjunction with a retro fitted OEM cruise control indicator stalk.
In the UK, cruise control is an extra cost option on all Golfs (including the V6 4Motion) and I didn't see the need for it when I bought my car, but I recently decided I would quite like to have it fitted. Anyway, I contacted the UK importers for APR and they can do this no problem. The cost is £195 (around US$300), but it's probably the best way as it uses 100% factory parts.
Trust this helps.

maybe dumb question, i never use my cruise, is it all computerized in ecu or is it extra material that can be removed for the weight loss, is so is it worth it

If the throttle is elec. controlled (are they all nowdays ?)
It is just change the turn indicator switch+ wire to the box + reprogramming.
I asked local VW dealer (Finland) and price is approx 250Euro, original VW.
Crazy car tax here in Finland, if I would have ordered it from the factory, price would have been 640Eur
