Thank

I am about 90% sure that the older (discontinued) Rostra kit will work with any of the non-US Yaris that do not have cruise control functionality built into the ECM. The newer kits definitely will not as they are just an overpriced version of the parts that I sell and require the ECM to have the functionality.

[YarisBasic]

do you have the Rostra kit part no.? or do you sell the older kit?

Thanks

Thanks

The discontinued Rostra kit was 250-1797 for MT and 250-1796 for AT.

I actually have one of the kits in my possession.

Hi Guys,
Have been using the CC on my Thailand built Camry for almost 5 months now and enjoying every minute of it. Again thanks to CTScott.

Hi Scott (or anyone else who might have some insight). My friend has a 2004 Toyota Echo 2 door Hatchback (non RS). He wants to know if there is a DIY Cruise Control method like this for his car as well. He really wants cruise added for his daily work commute. I told him if anyone knows it will be the guys on here.

No. The Echo was cable throttle, so installing cruise control would mean adding a vacuum operated throttle cable actuator as well as the electronics to control it.

Thanks Scott, So I'm gathering his best bet would be to find a wrecked RS version (or any one equipped with factory cruise) and just swap over all of the OEM components.

That would be the best bet, as it would be pretty expensive to purchase all of the parts separately.

I bought the stalk for my '10 sedan on ebay, but the car got wrecked before I installed it.
I've got a '12 sedan AT, with what seems to be a partial Power Package (windows only, not locks, etc.). I'm assuming that the stalk is the same? Any idea what the wiring requirements are for this year/model?

I've also read the tutorial multiple times, but remain a bit confused about D3. I get that there are supposed to be 3 wires in it-one of them being ground and two that are added-but where is the other end of the wires?

The stalk is the same for '10 and '12.

Did you look at your D3 connector yet? If you have the three wires there, then you just need to install the stalk. If you do not, then one goes to ground and the other to the ECM connector. See my complete DIY below for details:

It works! Took an hour only because the horn wire broke. D3 was already wired, although the block looks different on the 2012.
Thanks so much for posting this tutorial!

Thank you so much for this thread! I have a Base Yaris which could benefit from CC.

CTScott, Do you still sell the switch and wires needed to do this modification?

Yes. I still have all of the cruise control parts available.

Hi there would anybody be able to tell me if my T3 Yaris will support cruise control? It is a south African spec. I am not sure if i will need a cruise control module?
Or, how can i check if it has

What year is it and which engine does it have?

I was going to say no, but looking at the specs for some T3's it looks like cruise was an option. Take a look at my DIY (linked under my signature picture). To be sure, start with checking for the presence of the connector D3 wires on the steering column, and if they are not present check for the presence of the pin 40 wire on the ECM. Finally, if that is not present, check for 12V to be present on that pin with the ignition in the on position.

there is D3 when I earth the blue wire there is no icon(assuming that it may be because there is no space on the cluster for that light?) there is no pin in 40 on ECM plug... btw the D3 has more than just a black wire out of it, it ahs a brown and blue, however they are not in the specified places
