Did you manage to get the video of the install? I want to install mine soon and I was hoping to use your guide as a reference

all the shops around here are using the Rostra cruise control and charging 350-399 for it installed. they are roughly 250 online. im getting mine done at a local car audio place.

Wanna do this but despise the CC stalk, anyone find a way to make a modern CC stalk work from another car/model?

Is this easy to install yourself for a wiring amateur?

Hi there! I am hoping someone looks into this tread. Okay I bought this cruise control for my evo '03, I am installing it as we speak, can i get better pics of how you mounted it to the throttle body? Also the extra two wires no the cruise switch, I put the plug they gave me on that and attached it to the blue and gray wires with the female plug, i hope that's where they goI live in Michigan I hope I will be one of the first to have this here!

I see you have it figured out already but I was told that the Life Racing ECU's can easily support the addition of cruise control. Very interesting ECU, I may have to switch to it in the future.
