Here's a comparison of SodiumDuck's 08 (left) and my 09 (right) (from when we installed our remote starters). Mine has the blue and brown, and his just has the black horn wire.
On the EWD, the spiral cable is just the block between 3B and 1A, as well as the block between 1C and 8A on the horn diagram on page 145. The spiral cable simply brings the signals off of the movable steering wheel. (If we had the European steering wheel controls, they would most likely connect through the last unused pin). |

First time DIYer

i'm beginning to get lost in all the technical talk. i should probably take a look at mine up in there.. unless someone can tell me if i have what it takes to do this by telling them that i have an '07 lb hatch?

I was thinking that I was having deja-vu on this topic and found this topic from a while back:
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...=cruise&page=3 Out of curiosity, have you checked to see if your combination meter has the two cruise lights. |

No cruise light on my dash panel. It has a fog light icon, though (no actual fog lights in the car).
Canadian 2008 5-door hatch. |

You could install one of the aftermarket Rostra brand units, which doesn't attach to the steering wheel. Be prepared to pay lots, though.

Or you could add four momentary switches (On/Off, Set, Up, Down) to the dash like I am going to do to save on buying the stalk and on having to pull the airbag. |

Good luck with that - those functions on the stock switch work through resistors and involve the extremely expensive central engine computer (ECM). The resistors are the squiggly lines in the diagram. It's important to know the exact values to make it work right. A familiarity with Ohm's Law would help, too.

216 to 264 ohms for one between resume and on/off 351 to 426 ohms for the one between set and resume 819 to 1001 ohms for the one between set and cancel This is a standard way of having multiple inputs on a single wire. |

OK. My two button rig is connected. When I turn the ignition on and press my on/off switch the speedometer icon lights up. Now to throw on my dobuk and hit the road for the road test...

Worked like a charm!
I used tap splices onto pins 1 (blue) and 3 (brown) of D3. My test setup consisted of 2 feet of 2 conductor cable going to two parallel switches. The first is the On/Off switch which connects directly to the two wires. The second is the Set switch and has a 660 ohm resistor on the CCS line from the first to it. Here's the combination meter in the garage with the ignition on and the on/off button pressed once: Here's the meter with the Set button pressed at 35 MPH (and my foot off the gas): The Set button doubles as the - button, so each press would drop the speed by one MPH. When I pressed the On/Off button while CC was on, it would drop the lights and decelerate until I put my foot on the gas. So, at this point I have free cruise control (from parts lying around my office). Now I just have to find some switches that I like to button it up... |

That's correct. I was looking at the wrong blue when I typed that. When Alex checks his D3 connector (where I am 90% sure he'll just see the lonely horn wire), he should then check Pin 6 of AD4 to see if there is a wire there.

PK: if you are going to make yourself a new set of switches... don't cannibalize your stalk... sell it to me :)

thats awesome, you should make a step by step how-to with a link to the resistors to use, I would actually prefer this way

Very tidy - congrats to CTScott on getting the first practical results out of this discussion.
I'm not an electrical engineer - just a licensed mechanic. I have an aversion to hacking into the wiring on a near-new car that's still on warranty, but I can see my way clear now to acquiring the necessary bits to do it right. |
