Install worked perfectly!
I did the install with a stalk (Thailand eBay, $30) in my '07 AT Liftback. Everything worked on the first try and I am ready to enjoy a foot-cramp-free road trip next week. Thanks everyone involved in making this possible (especially CTScott and nickjhort)! Thirty bucks for cruise control is like Christmas coming early for me. Thanks again!

I just received the stalk (Thailand eBay, $30) to use on a new 2010 sedan automatic. It came with a wire (2 wires attached to the white plastic clip/plugs at each end). Can anyone tell me if I just plug it in as is, or do I need to switch over what has been called the airbag or horn ground wire?

If it came with a cable that has the white connector, but lacks the horn wire, then you have to remove the horn wire from the existing white connector and transfer it to the new one. |

horn/ ground wire
Thanks CTScott and all for the info. I did later find the answer to this question had been answered earlier. So much info and so many threads. We're really happy and thankful to be getting cruise so inexpensively and easily. Robert H

Went by the dealer to get the proper screws which they didn't have, but found out they appear to be 5mm. I checked at Loews and 10/32 does fit loosely in a 5mm nut, but 5mm should fit right.
One more question please: While I was there he showed me a little pack of what I think was 2 black wires, and some zip ties. He said it was required, and it cost $12. At one end was the very small ends that go in the white clip type connectors, and at the other end of one was a screw down round tab type like used for a ground, that fits under a nut or screw head. Couldn't see the other ones end through the baggy packaging. So anyway what are these wires and are they needed on a 2010 sedan automatic? If so where do they go and are there any directions and pics posted? Hoping to only go in there once, so thanks very much, Robert |

I am getting a 2010 5 door HB, anyone know if it is plug-n-go ?
If not, I will be one of the first to report about it. When I get the thing I will check for the appropriate pre-wired condition. |

It will work just like 09's. I have the 2010 EWDs and everything with cruise is the same.

and mygyver it the no-air-bag method. delears wants a LOT of loot to add cruise control, probably based on what it costs for a full install. plus more. screw that. |

Toyota techinfo. Unfortunately, because of the way they serve the data, it is nearly impossible to grab the entire manual, but I have the sections for the 2009 and 2010 that differ from the 2007 manual (TPWS, VSC, TRAC, etc.)

Installation of CTScotts LED Module for DIY Cruise Control
Wasn't sure where to post this...a new thread or here...
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal... 2. Remove all plastics around radio and then remove gauge cluster... 3. Remove two screws in front of the gauge cluster... 4. Remove screws in both cup holders... 5. Remove glove box. Open and pop out tabs on both sides... 6. Unplug yellow airbag connector and remove two bolts with a 12mm socket... 7. Make sure you have a long socket (this one's a bit overkill) or you will knock your knuckles (it hurts) the bolts are tight... 8. Remove A-pillers. Pull back the rubber casing and pull them right off (gently)... 9. And there you have it...that's all that holds on your dash...now just pull that sucker out... After that it's pretty much cut and splice wires to insert the Module. 10. Choose a spot to mount the module. I put mine in between the center vent outlet and the radio. 11. Connect the wires to their appropriate counterparts. Connect the LED wires to your LED (duh) Connect the ACC power wire to any source of ACC power (any wire that gets 12 volts when you turn the key to the ON position). I chose the pink one on the steering column (ignition connector) And finally connect the Switch power wires. The red to your wire going from the switch to the ECM and the black to any grounding point. 12. And there you have it. Hook your battery back up quick and test it to make sure it works (unhook the battery again before you plug your airbag back in) then put everything back together. I put my LED in the gauge cluster to make it look semi-stock. I used a white LED and scrapped a little hole in the black paint on the face plate inside the plastic housing. You can see the white dot right under the trip meter reset button. You can't even see it until you hit the CC switch so it's kind of hidden. Hope this helps anyone planning on doing something similar. I know CTScott said he would sell these modules for $25 or so. It's a very easy install and I recommend it so you don't always have to wonder "did I already turn it on?" Let me know if you have any questions.

Install for 2009 5DR Auto w/Power Package
My own experience:
I used a stalk from an '05 Solara which had a cable attached to a 12-pin connector. I had to de-pin the two cruise control wires. 1. Disconnect negative cable from battery using 10mm socket wrench. 2. Unscrew left and right T30 bolts to unfasten airbag. 3. Lift airbag off steering wheel and gently pry up the yellow locking tabs. 4. Remove horn cable from clockspring and disconnect from airbag. 5. Lift locking tab from connector and insert the two stalk wires. 6. Drilled out rear steering wheel cover by aligning stalk and eyeballing position. 7. Fastened stalk, seated cable into clip, and plugged into clockspring. 8. Plugged in airbag, secured bolts, and reconnected battery. |

Bump!
I just spent 2 hours reading this *whole* thread. Wow. You guys are awesome... I love these pioneering threads. So much excitement and discovery... reminds me of the Blitz install threads from the summer of '08! I just bought a stalk for my Canadian '06 hatch (RS). I figure I'll be running wires to the ECM. But how I would love it if the RS trim happened to have the dash lights already! In fact, I'm going to go out into the garage right now *brrrr* with a flashlight and find out! (Won't be doing the install until warmer weather though!) -- EDIT: Nope... no dash light. Anyhow, thanks to all... YW FTW!

I know I'm getting off light because I'm an 09, but how much harder is it to replace the steering wheel wheel cover rather than drilling the hole? Fear of the clockspring seems to be a recurring theme in these threads.

It's really not that bad. I pulled my steering wheel recently to install the leather steering wheel that I bought from a member from Germany. You just want to be careful with the clock spring, as it is quite expensive (>$200).
