I, too, am from Australia. I have a 2007 1.5 Auto Yaris, and am interested in your cruise control for my car. Do you know if the unit(s) you have sent to Australian owners have worked OK?
If so, how much are the parts shipped here?

Thanks,
John.

They have worked for 2012 and newer Yaris, but I am fairly certain that they will not work for 2006-2011 Australian Yaris.

I bought a cruse kit off CTScott for my 2012 1.3l Yaris and it worked perfectly and took me 20 minutes to install.

Excellent! So, now we know that both 1.5L and 1.3L Australian 3rd generation Yaris support cruise control.

Just another confirmation that all worked well on an Australian spec 2013 1.3L automatic.

I did take photos but cant resize them to upload. Many photos on this site anyway so probably not going to add a lot of value by posting mine.

It was extremely easy, the airbag just popped out once the 3 pins were pushed in. I had disconnected the battery before removing the airbag and waited 10 minutes as was advised by a mechanic friend. All in all it took 20 minutes including the 10 minute battery wait and a call to the dealership to get the reprogramming code for the stereo. All plug and play, there was only one slot so couldn't get it wrong. All the functions and cruise control dash indicators work correctly.

The only thing that makes it look not factory is the cover plate that is removed for the cruise control stalk can't be reinstalled as is and there is a gap around it. A photo of a genuine one with a cutout would be nice so I could cut a hole in mine and make it look neater.

Hi Scott

I have a 2013 998cc UK 'Edition' (base model) Yaris and would love to fit cruise, is it possible to fit the ECM based kit to my car and if so do you supply the complete kit Scott?

All the best.....

My understanding is that only the 1.33L 2012+ European Yaris supports cruise control. Do you know if cruise is offered as an option on any of the UK 998cc Yaris?

Unfortunately after contacting the main dealer today, they have said the 998cc is not equipped with cruise for the UK. If I were to fit an aftermarket cruise system it would affect my warranty. Well I'm not worried about that but am a little cost conscious, a Google search last night revealed the price is likely to be circa £500 ($750)

I have noticed as well that the aftermarket cruise control options for European Yaris are crazy expensive. I believe that the Rostra system, which was the dealer installed cruise control option for the US for 07-08 Yaris, will work on European Yaris, nut I have not had the opportunity to test the theory yet. The Rostra kits were about $250. I actually have one of the kits in my possession, and really need to coordinate doing some experimentation on one of my European trips.

Now I'm really confused or dense; I've been assured the Rostra 250-1836 cruise stalk and the 250-4206 clutch switch will work with my car. I don't see how as its only the switches and a few wires, if the car is not pre-wired and configured theirs nothing smart for the cruise stalk to talk to. Is that right? Or am I both confused and dense? Perhaps this seller wants me to add gullible?

HI! I just got a used 2009 Yaris Manual Tranny Hatchback, California car. I have seen some threads about Cal cars no being prepped for the CC. They seem to say that those 2009 and newer are. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Dear CTScott and Diagnostic, have you done any advance on fitting the old controler in the UK MK2 model?
CTScott, have you had success contacting and and working together Diagnostic? If you lost contact with him, I could help you in this matter.
Thanks.

Yes. PM sent.

You are my hero. It was the clutch switch hookup. It is pretty difficult to work under the dash, and I suppose I didn't make one of the clutch switch connections correctly. This time, I took the seat out so it was easier to work and made the two connections work. I screwed up one to my splicers and soldered the connection instead. Soldering is actually easier than using the splicers, and it is obvious when it is done right. When I installed the CC in my Yaris, it would work without the clutch switch hooked up. In fact, I saw how the brake switch worked and figured out a way to install a micro switch I had left over from my days as an airplane mechanic instead of buying a Rostra switch.

What other products do you sell besides the CC?

Hey I have a base model 2010 Yaris Liftback with A/T. From what I'm gathering from the PDF all I need is the stalk and (if I want) the new boss cover. I won't need to run any wires to the ECU. Is this correct?

Thanks!

That is correct.

I purchased the stalk, wires, and mounting screws from CTScott and it took about 30 minutes to install. Working great on my 2010 Yaris hatch! Thanks!
