I will put together a How-to, but here is pretty much the run down.
You need:
**full e30 cruise setup (wires, computer, stalk, actuator)
**e36 actuator bracket and the cable that goes from the actuator to the TB. (from Monko141: needs to be from a 92' to 94' 318. Actuator cable 65-71-8-357-087 )
**part number, 62 11 1 372 218, real oem calls it a plug housing....what it is, is a green plug that connects to the back of the cluster, it has some long stiff wires that push into little holes in the cluster and then the "plug housing" has a spot to plug the cruise harness into
**M5 x 20mm screw (this is a replacement for the lower screw that holds the wiper stalk to the column and then allows the cruise stalk to be held in place)
**wire taps (or something to do their job)
**2 conductor plug
You Do:
In the Engine Compartment:
Replace the actuator cable (goes from the actuator to the TB) with the cable that you pulled from the e36. To do this there is a clip you push down and then you can pull the cable out and unclip it.
Mount the actuator using the e36 bracket on the AFM mount.
There is a large rubber grommet that has all the other wires going from the engine compartment to the cabin and you can push the acuator wiring through that.
Inside the Car:
You have to remove the cluster, lower panels, steering wheel, etc etc. I used the OBC walk through to get it all off. I also installed the OBC at the same time.
Fish the cruise harness from the driver’s side to the passenger side, behind the radio, etc...there is a blue connector that connects to the cruise computer...same type as on the OBC and back of the cluster. The cruise computer is supposed to be installed with a special bracket...which I have. But I couldn't get it to fit in right. So I just set the cruise computer above the glove compartment and surrounded it with foam.
Install the "plug housing" in the back of the cluster...just slide it in...can't really install it wrong. Plug the cruise harness into the "plug housing" It goes into the middle plug..labeled with the letter "A"
Fish the rest of the harness around the left side of the cluster...I tie wrapped it up with the existing harness and brought it down under the column.
Mount the cruise stalk under the wiper stalk. There are two plastic bosses on the cruise stalk and they fit right into the column. Then the lower screw (replace with M5x20mm) holds them all together.
Plug the cruise stalk into the cruise harness. Tie wrap if you please.
There is a ground connection on the cruise harness....single squareish plug. I did not know where this was supposed to plug in, so I cut it off and crimped on a ring terminal and found a something to ground it on. I used the mount for the knee pas thingy on the left hand side.
Then there is a 2 wire plug...one blue/white wire and one green/brown (I will double check the colors. ) This normally plugs into a junction block, which our cars have but it is missing the actual pins where it would make contact. So you will need to cut this off...get a different 2 wire connector and splice it into the brake light switch. The colors match(makes it easier) This spot is where the cruise system gets its power.
Connect the actuator cable to the cruise harness.
You will have one wire with a spade connection that you don't need...it is for auto cars only. Just tape it back to the harness.
I didn't install the clutch switch just yet but I will soon. It just plugs into the harness....white connector.
And that’s it!
Put all the panels back on...or try it first (what I did)
I did take some pictures as I went along...not a lot as my batteries were dead the first day. And I was kind of excited to get it all in. But I think I got enough to explain it a little better...along with this written explanation.
In addition to having this and the OBC...I was "cruising" at 50mph and reset the OBC MPG mode and it said I was getting 50mpg... It was a very flat spot, who knows if I was really getting 50...or not but it was cool none the less
