The cruise control DIY thread.

Well the cruise works, I'm very happy. If I put a bulb in there will it light up then?.
And thank you for the help, greatly appreciated.

Has anyone else done the DIY cruise?. I priced out the cruise control switch from all our local GM dealers and it comes out to a grand total of $38.00!! CDN.
I plan on doing this with in the next two weeks I will let you know how it turns out, any feedback on your cruise control installs would be great.

Has anyone done this on a 2007? I have a 2007 with a stick and was quoted pretty much everywhere I went with a $400 price tag...

anyone else?

sweet. i have been thinking about doing it- so it would be nice to hear how it goes and how much it costs.

[aveodude]

got the switch for $18. The misc wiring and connections are going to cost ~$5.

[boxkiller]

thats pretty cheap - where did you get the switch?

I'm thinking this should be the same in a 2007, just look at the pictures and make sure it all looks the same.

would the same work with the audio controls for the steering wheel? If so, where would i pick them up at?

Now that some of you have been using this cruise control for a while, what do you think of it? Do you lose any functionality (other than the indicator light in the dash) verses a traditional, more expensive unit? Does it disengage when you tap the brake pedal or depress the clutch to downshift on a hill? A cruise control for under $25 sounds almost too good to be true (and sounds pretty intriguing)....
