Well I'm not worried about that but am a little cost conscious, a Google search last night revealed the price is likely to be circa £500 ($750)

I have noticed as well that the aftermarket cruise control options for European Yaris are crazy expensive. I believe that the Rostra system, which was the dealer installed cruise control option for the US for 07-08 Yaris, will work on European Yaris, nut I have not had the opportunity to test the theory yet. The Rostra kits were about $250. I actually have one of the kits in my possession, and really need to coordinate doing some experimentation on one of my European trips.

Now I'm really confused or dense; I've been assured the Rostra 250-1836 cruise stalk and the 250-4206 clutch switch will work with my car. I don't see how as its only the switches and a few wires, if the car is not pre-wired and configured theirs nothing smart for the cruise stalk to talk to. Is that right? Or am I both confused and dense? Perhaps this seller wants me to add gullible?

The Rostra 250-1836 definitely will not and the 250-4206 is just the clutch switch. It is the same as what I sell (but for much more money). The Rostra kit that I believe will work is the discontinued one that used a smaller stalk that mounted to the opposite side of the steering wheel and had a green LED on the stalk. That kit includes a control box that does the cruise control functionality (which your ECM lacks) and is does so by intercepting and overriding the throttle pedal signals.

I bought a cruse kit off CTScott for my 2012 1.3l Yaris and it worked perfectly and took me 20 minutes to install.

Excellent! So, now we know that both 1.5L and 1.3L Australian 3rd generation Yaris support cruise control.

Hi Scott. The now obsolete unit you mentioned above; do you have a model number and I'll try and locate one on FleaBay or alternatively perhaps you can provide the kit yourself?
Really, really want to have cruise on my 998cc
Regards

I can work with you with the kit that I have. We just need to verify a couple of things to confirm my theory before I ship it. I will PM you my email so we can work directly on some photos that I will need.

Just another confirmation that all worked well on an Australian spec 2013 1.3L automatic.

I did take photos but cant resize them to upload. Many photos on this site anyway so probably not going to add a lot of value by posting mine.

It was extremely easy, the airbag just popped out once the 3 pins were pushed in. I had disconnected the battery before removing the airbag and waited 10 minutes as was advised by a mechanic friend. All in all it took 20 minutes including the 10 minute battery wait and a call to the dealership to get the reprogramming code for the stereo. All plug and play, there was only one slot so couldn't get it wrong. All the functions and cruise control dash indicators work correctly.

The only thing that makes it look not factory is the cover plate that is removed for the cruise control stalk can't be reinstalled as is and there is a gap around it. A photo of a genuine one with a cutout would be nice so I could cut a hole in mine and make it look neater.

G'day Scott,

I, too, am from Australia. I have a 2007 1.5 Auto Yaris, and am interested in your cruise control for my car. Do you know if the unit(s) you have sent to Australian owners have worked OK?
If so, how much are the parts shipped here?

Thanks,
John.

They have worked for 2012 and newer Yaris, but I am fairly certain that they will not work for 2006-2011 Australian Yaris.

That's just dumb.. I bought the kit, (from Scott) had it installed in about an hr, and it works beautifully! Dont know why they wouldnt use the built in feature.

HI! I just got a used 2009 Yaris Manual Tranny Hatchback, California car. I have seen some threads about Cal cars no being prepped for the CC. They seem to say that those 2009 and newer are. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Dear CTScott and Diagnostic, have you done any advance on fitting the old controler in the UK MK2 model?
CTScott, have you had success contacting and and working together Diagnostic? If you lost contact with him, I could help you in this matter.
Thanks.

Hi Scott, I have a 2011 Yaris Hatchback, MT, and have been trying to install a Rostra cruise control. I've put in the 250-1836 and the clutch switch. It seems I don't need the ECM hookups and have not put them in. The light comes on at my dash, but the cruise control doesn't work. It sounds like I should just toss it and buy yours. If so, would you want all of this Rostra stuff? Any other tips? Thanks for being out there! Wish I'd found you before messing with Rostra!

If the cruise symbol lights up, then you are good for the ECM connection. If your can't get the "SET" light to come on (and the cruise to actually work), then the clutch switch may not be installed correctly.

The clutch switch needs to be fully depressed when the clutch pedal is not touched in order for cruise to work. If you installed the switch in too far, then it will not actuate when the clutch is at rest and therefore will not allow cruise to work.

The Rostra 250-1836 kit is essentially identical to what I sell, but for a whole lot more money. (The older kits were a custom Rostra product, but the new ones are just the OEM switch, etc.)
