I have a feeling that it's a spammer. The site seems to be just a dummy front page with sharesale links at the bottom.

@CTScott : Just wanted to thank you for this DIY and wanted to tell you that my cc worked perfectly all 4000 miles cross country and that I even was able to teach my mom how to use it! (a feat in itself) But Me and My right foot thank you!

I finally finished getting my CC wired up, Canadian 2008 hatchback. Thanks to Scott and everyone else who's contributed.
I will post some pics of the work in the near future. Probably took me a good 4 hours in total because I really had no idea what I was doing, drilling a hole in side of the steering wheel, inserting the pins at the end of the spiral cable, etc. Probably going to do this on my Mother-in-law's 2007 sedan since she also has the Rostra unit and can get it removed by the dealer for a full refund. |

Well i just installed my cruise control thanks to the DIY info on this thread. I video taped it step by step. Do you think anyone wants to see this? I think it would encourage even the novice mechanic to take this on.

You'll need to upload the video to another site like Youtube or Photobucket.

Hey guys
Has anyone attempted to run a line from D3 to AD4 as described on pages 7 and 8..? AD4 looks fairly accessible from the photo, but I have not had the chance to check myself. Thanks |

AD4 is under the top of the dash. You have to remove the dash top to get to it. Also, the wire from the ECM to AD4 is only there in 2009 sedans and 2009+ Puerto Rico cars.

Hi Scott.. Maybe we Canuks are lucky in this case, my 08 Sedan has the wire at the ECM, and I can only assume it connected at AD4
I had to confirm and took apart the ECN connector and snapped a photo.. Like you indicated, it appears that there is no access to the AD4 connector from under the dash, but wonder why Toyota/Rostra would put out these instructions if it was not possible? Maybe to mess with our Cruise Control crazy minds :p |

Scott.. Would you happen to have a photo the the top half of AD4 connector as I got the connector off the white mount, but since it is a bit tight, I am having a hard time trying to find the latch to unhook the two halfs?..
Thanks Scott! Quote:

ok so changed so ground wire, it's now connected to d1 bolt under the kick panel,
i've tested the d3 with ohm meter seems fine i've tried to test from the emc wire(the one that goes right to it on passenger side under the carpet) to the ground with my volt meter and nothing i'm gonna check out the pin 40 emc again i guess but it seemed fine im a bit discouraged here lol |
