Title: fitting cruise control to executive model
Post by dan_the_man on Nov 25^th, 2007, 6:51pm

hi, I have been lucky enough to land me a wooden wheel that has cruise control's on . I was eieher gonna not wire up the buttons or potentially have a go.
my scorp is lacking that option unfortunatly.
Would it be a tough job to do ?
what would I need.
many thanks gents.
ps not seen the wheel yet bought it on good faith.

it would be a pig of a job to fit, if its a manual you'll need to run the wireing and fit the sensors on the clutch and break pedal to turn the system off it you pressed either,

then theres fitting the crusie unit its self,

you'd be better off using them to work the radio instead of the little arm under the indicator

its easier in the sence you dont need to rig up the cut off switch for the clutch ;)

you could buy the kits for you radio which make them work with the cars standard audio remote stalk, i dont think it would be that hard to rig up:)
