OK, I DID IT!! When I first felt the car accelerate to hold the speed it made it all worth it.
Total cost $50, had to buy multi pack of resistors and second set of switches, still worth every penny. Second switch pad ready for install Plugged in ready for test drive. I used connectors to unplug the first switch pad and plug in the second correctly wired one. Clutch jumper going to fuse box. ECM wire tucked into harness ECM and clutch wires coming thru heater hose grommet. Im not thrilled with this set up, I will likely get a grommet and drill a hole thru the firewall next to the hoses in the near future. Ground wire going to bolt on gas pedal. I couldnt find the previously mentioned ground wire, this worked great, easy to get to. With the plastic re-installed you cannot see this wire at all. AND final install. Thanks for everyone who contributed posts along the way, the DIY and CTScotts expert info, after reading everything it all came together, I made it harder than it had to be by not getting the right resistors up front, and wiring in the wrong ones in the first switch pad. I have some extra resistors if anyone wants them PM me. Hank |

You should have been able to just push it out from the other end with a paperclip. I pushed the wrong way, too.

I must offer major thanks to everyone who has worked so hard on the whole cruise control project.
I just spent the afternoon installing the "two switch" method on my 2007 with manual transmission. It works! |

I have the factory cruise, but am trying to talk my buddy into doing this on his 2007 MT. I also know someone with a 2008 AT that does a lot of highway driving, and think he should do this to his as well. |

Hi there, I have been considering doing this mod and I am waiting on my parts (ordered switches, resistors, and wire from allelectronics.com); however I have one question. I did not see anywhere in here which wire goes where for the clutch switch. I have an '07 sedan w/ MT and I have the Toyota clutch switch, which has two posts and I see that there are two posts to connect to the CC switches in the fuse box. Could someone please clarify for me how to run the wires from the clutch switch to the fuse box connections, if it even matters. BTW, I will have extras of each resistor so if anyone wants em I'll mail them to you, just PM me.

You simply run the two wires from the clutch switch to the two wires in the under-hood fuse box, and make your connections. |

Ok, quick question. When installing the clutch switch, I see that the two wires go to the blue and white wires on that connection in the fuse box . . . could I just splice into those wires instead of trying to wedge some sort of connector into the same hole? I ask b/c that's what I tried and I'm not sure where my failure lies. I will take pictures in the morning of everything that I did and hopefully someone can help me. I'm really feeling like I should not have attempted this mod . . . I don't even know how to check the current to make sure that things are connected adequately.

Hi, I'm trying to do this on my Canadian 2007 Yaris sedan, and there's already a blue wire in the pin40 spot at the ECM. The wires on the steering column aren't there. Does this mean I can't have CC, or do I tap into that blue wire?

That junction is just under the top of the dashboard, so you can't get to it without removing the dash, so the easiest thing would be to tap the blue wire by where it enters the ECM. |

It worked!! I am amazed and awed! The dealer told me they can't put cruise control on my car, and with a few old buttons and resistors, plus some scraps of wire I now have CC! Thank you all so much, you've saved the Yaris and my $25K for a new car that would be comfortable on long journeys.
