  Yes, I have factory cruise control on my 96 Jetta GLS.

  I had a Sears cruise control (manufactured by Dana) installed on my
Scirocco years ago. It uses magnets on the transmission's final drive
shaft and a pickup coil to regulate the speed.

  It is connected to the vacuum circuit, and has a switch connected to
the brake and clutch pedals to determine when to get out of the way.

 It worked fine for about 8 years, then one day one of the magnets fell,
and I had some unrelated vacuum problems, so I never bothered to fix
it.

  I may yet restore it some day.
