Thanks Scott!

I'm so confused...lol! I've gone through so many threads and am not sure where to start! I first came upon this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWPXFYeLJj0

He makes it looks so easy but then I realized, after spending time on two threads here, that he doesn't touch on any of the engine work that also needs to be done.

I have an 07 Sedan/Automatic and live in Canada.

I know tons of people have asked this question and hate to do this to you guys but...what parts do I need for MY car?

Any help would be much appreciated!

That's why I just put this together. This is the detailed soup to nuts instructions for all aspects of installing OEM cruise control on any Yaris from 2006-2011:

Installed the CC on my CND version 2008 Sedan and all went well, I want to give big thanks to every one and especially Scott for all of his great help!

I installed the OEM CC stalk and ran the CC signal line from D3 to AD4, getting to AD4 was not too bad, just trying to work in the small area under the dash was the only challenge. Grounded the GND line from D3 was no issue.

I recommend the up grade to anyone needing CC

Thanks again to Scott for all his great help and supply of connectors.

Hi, all. Newbie with a 2009 3dr liftback automatic and the dumb question of the day:

What parts of this cruise control installation, if any, would void the warranty?

as long as you're adding toyota OE parts everything should be fine.... its when you start adding in your own home-brew stuff that things become grey

Can somebody with the OEM cruise & steering wheel cover please post a picture showing the hole where the stalk comes out? Doesn't even have to be a DIY job, even with it installed from the factory.

I'm thinking about picking up an OEM steering wheel cover with the pre-cut hole. The one I drilled is a bit of an eye sore.. much larger than it needed to be because I drilled it in the wrong spot and had to adjust a few times.

thanks

Well I had a pretty scary experience tonight. I installed cruise control with the OEM stalk a few (I think) months ago and it's worked flawlessly up until tonight. It was humid and raining which I think may have caused it?

Anyway, at first CC wouldn't work at all. I fiddled with the stalk a few times on the drive and eventually it turned on. All was well for a couple minutes, until I starting hearing the engine rev and noticed I was going 90MPH (I set it to about 65). It was like the cruise control stalk was stuck in the up position (it wasn't). It did this several times while also cutting out and not working several times during my 30 minute trip. I was obviously watching it very closely after it happened the first time.

Not sure what the cause could be. I'm guessing a loose wire or something? Anyway, extremely unsafe either way and a big notice to anyone out there to be sure to know what they're doing.

If you have access to a multimeter, with the ignition off, measure the resistance between the two stalk wires with nothing pressed and then again with each switch activated.

Wish I had that template before I drilled the hole! Found it a few days after it was all done.

I was going in blind essentially. This considered I didn't do that bad, but it's a little rough around the edges.

Excuse my expletives... but my local dealer quoted me $700 for an aftermarket cruise today...

Guess I will be trying my hand at this DIY.....
