How to install Cruise Control unit for 2014 - 2017 Ford Transit 250
By installing the unit ourselves, we saved us over $1000 and three weeks in wait time. Glad we did it, now we can stretch our legs on long drives using the cruise control. Highly recommended install for those that do not have it!
The Cruise Control kit is designed to add a cruise control system to those vehicles which did not come with one from the factory. You can set your desired speed by using the cruise control switch that is mounted. Once you set your speed, the cruise control measures engine load and vehicle speed to ensure your car stays cruising at the desired speed. You can slow down or accelerate from your cruise by using the switch for ease of use. The cruise controls feature set speed, tap up/tap down (1 mph per tap), coast/reduce speed, resume/accelerate, and controlled resume rate.
The company has been manufacturing these cruise control units for years and is an ISO9001 certified company that has proven to be one of the largest manufacturers of cruise controls in the United States.
Cruise Control Features:
- Slow down or accelerate without the pedal
- Increase comfort and reduce fatigue while driving
- Includes full color illustrated installation manual

Well it's been 2 weeks since I watched. I get my kit tomorrow for my 2016 Ford Transit connect cargo van. $320.00 I hope I can install it myself. I will give it my best shot, just take my time. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for doing this video, it gave me confidence. David and Archer my German Shepherd service Dog.

Happy and glad you are finding this video helpful! I hope your installation is successful! The cruise control has made our highway driving alot more comfortable, we are able to relax our foot from the pedal once in a while. Have a great time out there! ❤️

You needed to show us that the cruse control worked as you were driving. The rest of the installation was great.

@@afktravels I just bought a 2016 Ford Transit cargo XL. I plan to be a NOMAD with my German Shepherd service Dog Archer. We are going to travel all over the USA. I NEED CRUISE CONTROL!!! I watched your video ofcourse. I am assuming this same kit will work on my vehicle. I hope I can install it correctly. Do you have suggestions best and cheapest place to buy a kit? Thanks David and Archer

Excellent detailed video! Thank you sir! How is the cruise control working after a couple years of use?

Thank you Will!! Still working well, one thing they could improve on is the ability to adjust the acceleration when it's trying to force it up a hill. I usually have it off if it's a hilly area as the engine rev is too high sometimes.

Good question! I usually just hit the on/off button to cancel or push on the break. Both method seems to work. 😅

@@afktravels it seem to be very cheap i think the price we have paid you know. it is like some china made product not really 5 stars product for me. For stopping i start pressing both button SET/COAST AND RES/ACC at same time and it cancel also. with pressing brake pedal i get a message on screen sometime..

Hi, I installed the rostra CC in my car 5 months ago, everything went well. But two months ago, I have had a problem with the rostra control 250-3742 (same as your video). The problem is, that it can not light up easily, it lights up after many attempts (led flashes, and does not light up). You can help me. I would appreciate. Thank you very much

Hey glad you found the video helpful, however i didnt encounter this problem but it sounds like it could be caused from a lose connection potentially, have you check to ensure your connections are soldered properly and have enough voltage? And check your plugs to ensure no dust or dirt on them. Last option call customer support and see if they can help with troubleshooting. (800) 782-3379
