Can you put cruise control on a 5-speed?
I have no idea. Just wondering. My previous car (94 Corolla automatic) had CC and I will probably miss it eventually (2010 5-speed Yaris 3dr). Can I have it added if I do or does CC not work on a 5-speed?

My 2010 3 door 5 speed has cruise installed from the factory, and would not have done it any other way.
look in the DIY section for a how to on adding cruise. You can go cheapo, or do the factory style install. |

Great! I do NOT work on my own cars. ;) Would doing it through my own mechanic do anything to the warranty? If so I might just wait until I'm done w/ the warranty -- I put 32K on a car a year, so alas it won't be long.

take it to the dealer and have cc put on. It doesn't come from the factory,cc is installed at the dealership. Shop around, some dealers charge more than others. I love the cruise in mine, use it every day. Its worth the cost.

I have the dealer installed CC on my 5 speed sedan. It works like a charm.

So you're saying that there are ''2'' sticks?? 2 on one side and the single on the other?? (control handles) A total of 3??
teddy, did the dealer install an additional handle on the column on yours for a total of 3?? Question; If you were lucky enough to actually get c/control from the factory, did it come on as a single handle or did it come with 2 handle controlls?? Wow!! this is confusing |

The true OEM one gets installed on the right side of the steering wheel and uses the built in functionality of out ECM. 09+ Yaris can use this option without an issue, as they have the indicators on the cluster and the wiring from the ECM to the steering column. The Rostra aftermarket one is the one typically installed as a dealer or port installed option. It gets installed on the left side of the steering column and has its own indicator LED on the stalk. |

Thanks CTScott for the info.
So when the dealer does the installation, it is a aftermarket unit (Rostra)?? Not a genuine Toyota part?? The dealer can't obtain the true OEM unit?? |

Mine is the Rostra one on the left side of the steering column (stationary, like the signal light and wiper stalks). I was kinda disappointed since I was under the impression the Rostra was only something you order and install yourself.
Like CTScott said, it has an indicator directly on it, but it has no way to tell you whether or not you've got it "set". Even worse, the wheel completely blocks it, so I can't see if it's on unless the wheel is turned or I move my head. My father-in-law's Prius has the OEM cruise with the stalk on the right side of the wheel itself (it turns with the steering wheel). I found this one far more comfortable to use. I'm not sure where you're getting this 3 handle idea from though, unless you are referring to the Quote:

It is actually far less work to install the OEM one than the Rostra one, but on Yaris prior to 09, you would not have any indicator (unless you used the indicator module that I build for DIYers). I don't believe that swapping the cluster alone would make the indicator work, as I've found that the 07 and 08 ECMs don't send the CAN bus messages to the cluster for turning the cruise indicator(s) on.

What type of kit do you make? I want cruise on my 08 manual liftback. Would be nice to have OEM type install.

I don't make a complete kit, but I do make a device that provides an indicator for 06-08 Yaris, which don't have the indicator on the cluster. The link below is a FAQ that I put together to pull all of the info together. It has info about my indicator module: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ght=faq+cruise |
