This thread has the soup to nuts info about the OEM cruise control for 06-11 Yaris. For your 09 auto, you simply need to add the cruise stalk to have fully functioning cruise. I sell the CC parts for a fraction of what the dealer would charge. For your 09 the CC stalk with wiring harness and mounting screws I sell for $40 shipped.

HA!! I don't think cruise came as an option in our ADM (Australian Domestic Market) Yaris, I've had a close look at the dash and can't find the cruise symbol anywhere.

Here in Canada It was something the dealer installed after the car was delivered to the dealership,i believe the one on my car was made by a company called Rostra.
Light indicating it was on was a small green light on the cruise stalk.
When they took out the cruise they put a whole new housing assembly around the steering column so the hole where the stalk came out is no longer there,

My USDM doesn't have a dash light either, just a green indicator light on the stalk indicating that it was on/off.

Not bad for a system i never wanted and never used

I still have my Rostra cruise .. and it works just fine so I have no reason to remove it. I know I can make some money by removing it, but I maintain .. if it isn't broken why fix it.

Because you can get ~$500, the re-purchase Scott's kit for $40, and be up $460?

If this were an option in the US, I'd be all over it.

I have seen the install document for the OEM cruise and it is something I would never be able to undertake myself so I would have to pay someone to install it. So ... just doesn't make sense for me at any cost, even if I am in Canada and can take advantage of it.

Any meets in your area where another member could help you?

[edmscan]

I never use my cruise anyways (so I am not interested in removing my Rostra cruise). Also according to my ScanGauge I do much better if I drive the car myself .. so a new cruise is just not something that interests me, even if I could find someone to assist me in the install. (Besides I only know of 1 other YW member that lives in my area)

So, if you don't use it, why not make some cash? I understand it'd take time out of yoru day, but if you do any other modding, or have other hobbies, an few hundred dollars extra wouldn't be bad...

What about MI, are you active on there? Seems meetups are more commonly discussed and attended when organized on that site (See the Ontario BBQ that was hosted by thebarber, for example).

Just my $0.02, and I'm certainly not trying to push you to do something you don't want to do, just trying to understand your logic :)

I had no reason to uninstall it either,it was installed as part of the purchase price for the equipment options that came with the car so i wasnt about to refuse to have it installed, 4 years later they call me up and say they want to uninstall it and pay me the cost of the cruise Ok then take it out,i never used it anyway,,I can do a lot more with $538 than i could ever do with that useless cruise unit.
