Cruise control on a JDM

JDM'ers out there ... anyone else have the stalk mounted switch and controls for cruise (before all you US guys jump on me, this is different from the dash mounted switch you have!!).

I have it and it looks really nice. Problem?? I can't work out how the damn thing works!!

Cheers, R.

Mine has a slide switch on the top (set/resume) and a push button on the end. And the stalk is just for the cruise.

I was going to start up a thread about CC as my JDM doesn't have it but to now know it was an optional extra means there's a chance i can retro fit it ?

Anyone know if it has its own ECU ??

AussieVX, let me know how you get on! Is yous just not working ?

Hi folks,

My cruise control is factory (just decoded the options codes on the plate in the engine bay) ... runs to a unit on the front right of the engine bay which has the same part number on it as the 'cruise control management unit' listed as a part for the Holden Jackaroo/Frontera, Isuzu Mu/Bighorn/Wizard for at least 1999 (the only parts catalogue I have).

So it might be possible to grab a unit off one of those and fit it to a VX... I suspect that's a job for a pro, but then I'm kind of a coward with that sort of thing....

Cheers

Crotchrocket - locate a cruise control from a Frontera with a V6 - remove the dash switch - the cruise ecu - and the motor from the engine bay - using some wiring diagrams you should be able to tap into the speed sensor and bobs your uncle - obviously brake switches are involved too
got the bits my self but haven't had time yet
cheers
