2008 Yaris 5-Speed Cruise Control install UPDATE
http://www.allscion.com/cruisecontrol_yaris.html This a photo of my installation of cruise control on a 2008 Yaris Manual Hatchback. Yes it works perfectly in 2010. IT IS ME, my novice and proud installation. The model for the manual in the pull down choice is 250-1797.
Absolutely no problems with the flawless operation of this cruise control. My non-compensated name on the installation was a gift to the seller. ROSTRA does a nice job, no wear on the knobs after two years of daily use. Sincerely, BKS |

The Rostra duplicates the cruise control functionality that is already built into the ECM on all USDM Yaris.
The Rostra is a somewhat justifiable choice on 08 and older since it has the built in LED as the cruise indicator. On 09+ it is a bit silly since the indicator is built into the cluster. |

Great comment, the 09 was changed even the speedometer. Though I cannot see the cruise stalk in my 08, it was the only cruise I could find for the manual 08 Yaris. The position in the photo was purely my choice taking into consideration my larger body/knee profile. I am 6'2" 255 muscular pounds. If you own a no cruise option 06-08 manual tranny Yaris this is a quality product with your choice of stalk location. Flawless operation since the install in early 08.

Thanks for reminding everyone that this may be only a 2008 or OLDER Yaris Manual Transmission models. The Toyota Corporation had nothing listed for USDM 5-Speeds, I was the first to try it because the dealer REFUSED to install it.
Rostra makes a quality product and my 70 mile trip to work is much more enjoyable. My novice installation, over two years of use, no wear or issues, I add my USE endorsement of the Rostra Cruise. TRD has earned my praise but I need to start another topic to discuss their products - LOL. Sincerely, BKS ! |
