Awesome instructional video. I've a pedal controller inserted at the accelerator. Guessing it would work regardless.

Cruise control is worth the work. Pedal wiring surprised me, figured it was all in the column and speedo. Weird how this is not a standard item in this era

It cost $500 from eBay to buy the kit and about 1 hour of work for you. On a $10,000 car it’s not really worth it IMO.

This looks identical to the kit I’m about to install in my 2008 cabrio. But mine has an led indicator i need to install in the dash by drilling a hole. That’s the part that I’m worried about going wrong.

When I did my 450 some years ago I got the control stalk, I then had to take car to garage with merecedes software to activate the function. I now have 451 but no cruise.

She takes a little getting used to it but it works just fine. Sure $500 is a bit of money but if you’re going to keep the car for a long time and it’s totally worth it.

Thank you very much for your videos! I learned a lot and I'd like to install cruise control with the help of your video. Is it really plug and play? Or does it have to be activated by a software update or something similar. A friend of mine did this with his Smart 450 and had to get it activated by Mercedes. Just trying to plan the things ahead. Also you wanted to give an update on how it works while driving. I'm very curious about it and would love to see a video about that!

It works fine, but there is no indication of whether or not you are currently in cruise on the dash cluster. There is an optional little light that you can install by drilling through your dash and it will light up letting you know when cruise has been activated. It works just like any other cruise control. It’ll speed you up to get you to speed, and it will stop accelerating when you reach speed. It’s nothing fancy. Yes, it is simply plug and play. All it does is give a signal to your accelerator pedal and tell it where to stop. Very simple system no software programming needed at all at the dealership.

How do you get to the tweeters at the front of the dash?
@ToyotaGR86Maintenance 9 ай бұрын
Are you referring to the tweeters on the doors near the dash? Those were custom installed by me and you have to takeoff the interior door panel to put those in. I am not aware of any tweeters that are on the dash itself. If your vehicle has them, that is news to me. I would assume you would have to pull the dash out in order to replace them, unless they have a plastic cover on top that you would unclip.

You shouldn’t get any codes, so you may have either installed it incorrectly, or you might’ve damaged some wiring during the installation.
