I did this on a 2006 Toyota Tacoma.You needed the cruise control stalk,a jumper wire for inside the steering wheel,a piece that snaped into the side of the steering wheel for the stalk to stick out of,and switch for the clutch.The tacomas are all pre wired.I got the info on a Toyota forum web site pictures and all.It was about 120.00 for all parts.Cant remember the exact forum but its a popular one.Searched it toyotanation.com in the tacoma area.

Anyone read Thai?
Here's an interesting eBay listing.
http://tinyurl.com/dl2rfn The switch looks like the illustration in the '07 Yaris manual (the one in the original post in this thread doesn't) There are some illustrations in the eBay listing (scroll down) that no doubt tell us all we need to know, but unfortunately they are in Thai. Anyone who can translate? |

I have no idea how if these new systems work the same as older models, but I do know that on those older models, there was a vacuum canister inside the engine bay for the cruise control. So there deff may be an extra part needed, but again, that was for cabled lder models.
No idea if the rule has changed for DBW.

I was going to say something about needing a new peace of plastic for the back of the steering wheel or the steering column depending on where this mounts but pismo61 got to it first.
I did a bunch of searching and it looks like the automatics just need the new plastic and the switch. I’m not sure on the manuals but we will see soon.

Hi
If it works on your Toyota Yarises, does anybody then know if it will be the same for an European model Toyota Yaris? If I should buy the Cruise Control kit in Denmark the price is about $600 plus install, but itīs a kit with some extra. I know on the Toyota Avensis from 2004 or so untill 2008 you only need the stalk, two screws and two wires. Regards Steven. |

For the plastic piece ... do you mean where the stalk comes out of? Couldn't you just dremel/drill a hole?

Alright guys, I got one for you in the mean time while you're waiting for your parts. Does anyone have a junker switch available? Or any sort of electronic experience? The reason I ask is you could possibly "build" one to experiment. I would jump on it on my car, but I'm only on vacation for 9 more months 7000 miles from my car... Let me know if you guys are interested because I can still help, I do that stuff for a living.

since this is DBW, im pretty sure toyota has removed one of the units that control the cruise control.
PK, if you have time, could you look at the complete wiring of the cruise control ? does it end at some place where there should be a box, but it isn't there?? also, the last thing i know, that if i got the cruise control from Toyota (back in late 06), i would not have gotten the OEM cruise control system... |

Just form the reading that I found all the wiring is there and the ECM dose the rest if you have the switches.

ooh, that may be a problem, haha, I crimped off my clutch switch for the remote starter, maybe I can make a bypass switch instead of leaving it crimped off

Does this mean, if all goes according to plan, that I'll need something other than the eBay stalk to make this work? This is assuming, of course, that the eBay stalk does what we all hope it will.
