Well, I mean from the factory unless Toyota wants dealers to rip off it's customers? And there's lot's of things included in cars that some people may not use. The point is, is that if every component of cruise control is present except for a $15 stock, it seems wastful not to include it and be an extra selling point for the Yaris - "standard cruise control". It would benefit Toyota.

^ it would certainly benefit Toyota from a sales standpoint, but Toyota is just like any other major business: cost conscious. This is why we have a LOT of hard plastic inside, and why power windows and locks are still an option. The Yaris was meant to be a cheap, fuel efficient car. By that philosophy, it wouldn't make sense for Toyota to put a $98 control stalk (that's the MSRP for this part) in every Yaris. There's millions of Yarii in the world, so it would add up real quick.

I'm moving this to the DIY forum where it would be more appropriate.

Not to rain on your parade guys, but I have not seen anywhere in the technical manuals that there is any kind of built-in programming/circuitry for cruise control. I may very well be wrong of course

Taken from the cruise control system manual for an '07 sedan:
Quote:
The
ECM controls the throttle opening angle based on
signals from switches and sensors.
The microcomputer which controls the cruise control
system is built into the ECM, and uses is the throttle
position sensor and motor as the actuator.
Constant speed control gets ready when the cruise
control main switch ON-OFF button is pushed (the
CRUISE MAIN indicator light comes on).

After reading the manual it seems the only thing you need to 'activate' the cruise is the stalk, as it serves as the main 'switch' to tell the ECU to turn cruise on... now, the only problem I see is any yarii who do not have the CRUISE light on the dash (mine doesn't). Not sure how that is going to work? I guess you will just have to make sure you know when it's on or off, lol.

BTW, here is the manual if you want to take a look. It's for a sedan but I'm assuming it will be the same for the hatch.

Well after reading a bit more, it would seem the ECU has to have the cruise programming in it for it to function. Now I am confused, time for sleep LOL

I have the factory cruise control in my 08 US-specs LB, and there is no cruise control light on the dash...

By the way, if this is true I wish I had told the dealership to remove the stalk and cut the price by $300. I rarely use the cruise control...

Cheers! M2
