The cruise control DIY thread.

How can I check if the model is 'drive by wire'?

easy, look for a throttle cable that goes to the throttle body, no cable. then it is drive by wire..

I have the throttle cable.

So that means no cheap cruise control for me

All american and canadian aveo went to drive-by-wire in 06.

Hey all, My 2007 LS was a miss. Any conformation as to what wires to tap into on the ECM.

I have an 07 special value and it is drive by wire, the cruise control worked wonderfully, that's weird yours didn't

I was more then a little disappointed about that. I don't even have the green wires in the bottom plug

where are you two from?

I think I'm just going to mount mine in that little rubber piece in front of the shifter.

Just had a peek at the engine while cleaning the car and I have a normal throttle cable! Stupid 1.2 engine! So I have the hole in the steering wheel for the controls and no way of fitting it! Thanks Chevrolet Europe!

That sucks man.

[petrified.rabbit]

you would still be able to do it, there will just be more parts involved.

not sure what though on top of/other than adding a throttle cable and actuator.

[manorness7]

Yeah but I think he means that it sucks he can't have $20 cruise, he needs to get a few extra things.

The price must have went up on these, I called every dealer within 20mi of Detroit. The best deal I got was $42. I did buy the 2008^ version GM Part# 96813273. I was not sure if the 07 switch would work Part# 96433106. I could have got that for $35, but I figured for $7, better to be safe than sorry.
