I'm sure this is possible. But does anyone know where I would go to get this done and around how much it would cost? TIA

I've had cars with both. You want an aftermarket cc? Maybe jc Whitney still sells those.

Yeah. I'm interested in seeing how much it would cost to get someone to install it for me though. I'm not very car savvy. I mean I can jump start a car and could probably change a tire but that's about it. Is installing it yourself complicated?

Very. I'm not even sure you can do it in a newer car. The old universal set ups were made for throttle body injection.

If the amount of experience you have is whats listed...it is likely too difficult for you.

What kind of vehicle?

My thoughts exactly. Side note, this is an area I really need to become more familiar with.

Just let the dealer do it.

Price of cruise isnt THAT much.


I use my foot, gets better gas mileage.

Yeah not for me . Plus, I'm tired of keeping it in the pedal for those 2-4 hour drives

Wtf? R-Spec?

I can't imagine any modern car not coming with CC these days.

That's surprising. My 2005 scion tc 5 speed had CC. I wouldn't even attempt it on a vehicle that new.

You suck at the internet

^guy says he estimates 3 hour install using now known instructions. Any competent mobile electronics store could install this at their labor rate. You do the math

It's absolutely possible, my Ford Mustang has a manual transmission (as every Mustang should, by God) and cruise control but I got it from the dealer that way.

Can't help you on the Hyundai, as an alpha male I have no experience with those.

Definite beta if you cannot do this.

That's what I thought but I think they left it out to keep the cost down. It isn't exactly the ideal car for road trips so they probably figured it wasn't necessary

I mean I know I could but I've just never had to do it yet
