DIY Cruise Control FAQ (2006-2010 Yaris) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi,

This is my first post. I recently bought a 2008 Yaris Liftback. It's a 5-speed. I would have preferred for my next vehicle to have already had cruise control installed, but the circumstances didn't allow it. I am now considering CTScott's OEM cruise control method. I have read over this thread more than once and feel I can do this. I am only apprehensive about one thing. Since I have the 5-speed, I have to tap into the wires in the under-hood fuse box for the clutch cancel. This requires splicing into two of the wires (white and blue). CTScott's instructions suggest a tap splice. I was hoping to get around to "Cutting" or altering of the existing wire. Has anyone used anything different like connecting them using a pin of some sort in the wire hole? I know my fears are irrational, but cutting into those little wires makes me nervous. Any help is appreciated.
