Hold on just a couple more days and I'll have that module installed. I just haven't had time to rip the dash again. I also have to rethink my clutch switch, the switch broke. That's what I get for going cheap :) Anyway, I'll prolly just buy the oem one. I'll put picks up when I'm done with all of this...

POORSHA · 06-05-2009, 11:24 PM

thanks i might just take you up on it

In order to provide the on-off indicators which some folks want...rather than messing with wiring LEDS and such, why not just buy an illuminated switch button? Would that work? If so, which Digikey part number would you supersmart electronics types recommend?

I'm about to make an offer on an 07 Yaris without cruise and am MOST grateful that I stumbled on this thread! Thank you all!

The illuminated switch won't work without the same type of driving circuitry, due to the switch being a momentary input (rather than a latching switch). Basically, in electronic terms you need a flip-flop, which takes a single input and toggles the output each time the input is pulsed.

Awesome install Patrick Johnson and bronsin! Looks just like mine. I'm glad this is working out for everyone :)

bronsin · 06-23-2009, 09:28 AM

How many have done the install? Many who see mine comment on the coolness. But an equal number say "You did WHAT?!"

PS I still have a set of four switches and the resistors to do this mod. $5 gets it mailed to your door.

Bravejus · 06-28-2009, 09:39 AM

I just did this mod also, however i mounted my two button setup in the empty pop out panel next to the dimmer roller switch.

luigi · 07-06-2009, 03:27 PM

Bravejus, i was thinking of mounting in the same place. Got any pics?

trialsdork · 07-06-2009, 03:51 PM

It worked! I mounted the buttons inside the coin tray as a trial, they're completely hidden. I also installed a mini-deans connector so that I can take the whole mess out in the event of a warranty problem. I think I'll relocate them to the empty removable panel next to the dash light dial soon, for user friendliness. THanks!!!!

solarVitz · 07-12-2009, 06:01 AM

wow, these really works guys? ive got to try these on my car now. i wonder if my 08 liftback S got the cruise control lights in the instrument cluster? will soon find out.

it doesn't, the 07 and 08 don't have it, only the 09

Blue_dragon_192 · 07-13-2009, 04:39 PM

Can I assume that this will work for the 09 Sedan also?

What dangers/issues do I need to be worried about doing this mod?
I have wires running all over from the LED mods so I am not worried about the work, just warranty issues.

Just an FYI, the burden of proof is on the warranty provider to prove that any modification resulted in a failure of the component or part being warrantied. They can't deny a warrantly claim unless they can prove your modification caused whatever is broken.
