i realize that , but we're talking pre wired electrical system for it which i believe all yarii share.

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...

me 3 lol

oh and BTW im almost 95% sure this will work. All that seems to be missing in a stock Yaris is the stalk, this is what tells the ECU what to do. hmm here we come 500$ upgrade for 15$

mrbond · 04-13-2009, 07:17 PM

lol oh the things you can start when you take off parts of your car.

MGargano · 04-13-2009, 07:26 PM

Ordered one from the same guy before everyone else snatches them up! Fingers crossed! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=170320582267

I did this on a 2006 Toyota Tacoma.You needed the cruise control stalk,a jumper wire for inside the steering wheel,a piece that snaped into the side of the steering wheel for the stalk to stick out of,and switch for the clutch.The tacomas are all pre wired.I got the info on a Toyota forum web site pictures and all.It was about 120.00 for all parts.Cant remember the exact forum but its a popular one.Searched it toyotanation.com in the tacoma area.

Here's an interesting eBay listing.

The switch looks like the illustration in the '07 Yaris manual (the one in the original post in this thread doesn't)

There are some illustrations in the eBay listing (scroll down) that no doubt tell us all we need to know, but unfortunately they are in Thai. Anyone who can translate?

I have no idea how if these new systems work the same as older models, but I do know that on those older models, there was a vacuum canister inside the engine bay for the cruise control. So there deff may be an extra part needed, but again, that was for cabled lder models.

No idea if the rule has changed for DBW.

i hope this works i really miss CC

fingers crossed XXXXXXXXXX

firebob · 04-14-2009, 03:26 PM

I was going to say something about needing a new peace of plastic for the back of the steering wheel or the steering column depending on where this mounts but pismo61 got to it first.

I did a bunch of searching and it looks like the automatics just need the new plastic and the switch. I’m not sure on the manuals but we will see soon.
