How is everyone running the wire from D3 to the ECM connector A21?
Last night I tried to follow the conduit of wires running from the ECM in the engine bay without much luck. I didn't want to have to rip apart the engine bay to find out where it goes. I really feel like I'm missing something silly!

The easiest way is to enter the rubber grommet above the ECM or the one below it (which is actually the grommet around the AC drain hose). Then, once you are through the firewall on the passenger side, you can bring the wire across to the driver's side.

Would I be able to fit cruise control to my Yaris using the same method? I have a 2001 5door hatchback...

No. 1999-2005 Yaris used a cable throttle, rather than an electronic one like 2006 and newer ones have. So, 1st gen Yaris require an electro-mechanical cruise control system.

got my CC installed today and loving it. Best $20 I spent. Still haven't got the clutch switch kit yet so had to jump the connector for it to work and yes, the revs jump when u step on the clutch with the cruise set. overall pretty simple install tho.

My Vitz 2010 model already has wiring upto ECM (saw it by removing the cover behind the steering )but my cluster doesn't have any indicators for CC. Do you think if i install OEM CC, my car would be able to handle it? irrespective of the indication on the cluster? if this is the case, i might change my insturmenet cluster.
