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.

I guess I am screwed on this fantastic inexpensive mod.

Here are the pics I just took of my steering column.
As you can see, the brown and blue cables are missing.....so I think anyway.

Can someone confirm?
Circled the connector where I think the two additional cables should be:


Picture from the bottom of the steering column...

That is correct. Looks like the 09 sedan doesn't have the wiring in place from the steering column to the ECM. Does it have the cruise indicators on the combination meter?

You're not totally dead in the water for this mod. You just have to do the 07-08 method, which involves running a single wire from the switches to the ECM. Take a look at the tail end of this thread:

Yes it does have the cruise indicators, but they are way at the top of the gauge cluster.

I will look at the 07-08 section. Thanks for the input.
<-goes and mopes and grumbles about not having cruise control.

ctscott,

one last question (for the next 30 seconds )

With the 07=08 mod, all we are doing to shorting pin 40 on the ECU to ground to turn on the CS and then short it to ground with a load (~600 ohms) to set the CS..

Or did I miss something?

I installed the CC, when I switch it on the speedometer jumps once , pressing the set buttom dosen't set the speed . While installing , by mistake I connected the 12 V supply instead of the ground which stalled the engine immediately . Can anyone help me if I have screwed up the CC function of my ECU. The car is running fine otherwise.
