I don't think it will work on your car. On European manufactured Yaris cruise control is not an OEM option, so the ECM doesn't support this mod.

Ok, after reading all these posts I am now REALLY confused so please bear with me since I am also new here. I have an '09 S 5 door liftback, auto trans. In real simple terms since I am not an electrical engineer, what do I have to do to have the factory cruise installed. The dealer wants over $500 for an aftermarket one which is ridiculous.

With an 09, you can simply purchase the OEM cruise control stalk (Toyota part number: 84632-3401), pull the steering wheel and install it, and you'll have cruise control.

Or, check out this thread for adding cruise to your 09 auto for about $10:

Just to confirm after reading 24 pages.....this will work on an '08 MT but you need the stalk, the clutch switch and need to do some wiring to the fuse box, correct?

Correct. We really need to do a DIY for 07-08's...

Henry G. · 06-22-2009, 05:14 PM

That would be AWESOME. Thanks for all the info so far guys, great job.

when I finally get around to doing it, I will make one, however it will be the stalk method, since I like more of an oem look.

I have a 08 mt lb and a stock, lets do it.

For your MT you're going to need the clutch switch as well. It's OK to bypass it for testing, but for normal use you really should have it in place.

Anyone else from the New England region interested in doing theirs? We could do a DIY cruise control workshop.

I may move the led I have mounted next to the switches up into the guage cluster before I install the LED module CTScott has provided. Make it look a little more stock-ish. Also scott, if my LED is too bright I can just add a resistor of my choice in series and that'll dim it down some correct? And also I'm going to just buy the stock clutch switch for 20$ from the dealer, rather than try to fix the frankenstein I put together :)

Yes, you can add a resistor to dim it. If you used a blue LED, you might have to go up to between 30K and 50K Ohms for it to not be blinding.

POORSHA · 06-23-2009, 03:33 PM

A workshop would be great.

Bravejus · 06-23-2009, 08:54 PM

I would like a workshop as well, or a well written DIY on the whole process with lots of pictures. The information on how to do this is rather scattered over 24 pages, especially if you have an 07-08 5mt.

Well, we're up to two for the workshop. Would you be willing to drive down to Connecticut for it?

nickhjort · 06-24-2009, 01:52 AM

I am also willing to help out if people want to drive to Oneida, NY. I see that Bravejus is just up in Plattsburgh.

Bravejus · 06-24-2009, 05:19 AM

Well it would depend on schedules meshing for sure. Oneida is 3.5-4 hour drive.
