Are you sure you have a recent VCDS-Lite? It should go into measuring blocks exactly the same as the full version.

As for the cruise control, that could be the stalk, I know for a fact mine is dodgy and I've seen many comments over the years from others having the same opinion.
Cruise happens to be in the same area so I looked at that as well today and I could see that operating + or - functions on my stalk would occasionally just return a status of "off". That is consistent with what I find when driving in that it will sometimes just disengage randomly and quite often when I try to change the set speed. I think it's the slider switch that is the main culprit as the "set" button on the end seems relatively reliable.
