I have a 2006 Toyota Matrix, automatic transmission, and am looking to get cruise control installed. I called the dealer, who said they won’t do the installation and I have to buy aftermarket parts. As long as I get the right kit for my model, are all aftermarket parts the same? Where would I go to …

I’d Be Really Surprised If You Can Get A Kit For This Car. I looked into putting a kit on a car I was looking to purchase, recently. I have to have cruise. It wasn’t going to happen. Even if I could find one, everybody advised against it. I passed on the car. It was a deal killer. However, I had s…

Simply Eloquent, VDC Driver! It’s slowly coming back to me, but I think the car I was looking at was supposed to have its cruise in the steering wheel. Even if they made a factory kit, you could just imagine the cost of parts and labor. Can you spell “cost prohibitive”?

If it isn’t a factory Toyota cruise control I would not install it. If you really must have cruise find a car with it and trade. A botched installation on an aftermarket unit could cause enormous problems, and, yes, it will most likely void any remaining warranty.
