Replying to: mgvh (Apr 05, 2008 7:14 pm) That's strange. I start out with just Toyota.com, and then when you select "Build Your Toyota" it asks for a zip code. I can't imagine that Texas is the only state that offers speed control on the Yaris.   I suppose you could build it from another state, print off the summary and take it to your dealer and show them that's what you want. There has to be a way for the dealer to get the components.

Replying to: mgvh (Apr 05, 2008 7:14 pm) I don't know if you ever found the "speed control" for your Yaris or not, but I got one for mine last July in California. Mine is a 2007 Liftback with an automatic transmission, and I got it online at thecruisecontrolstore.com and it was part #2501796 for my particular car. I don't know if you have a 2dr hatch or a sedan, or an automatic or standard transmission, but they have cruise control for all of them. $239.95 It works like a charm, , goes right in the steering column like "factory." It's all "plug & play" Replies to this message: vpc5011 (Jun 17, 2008 11:48 am)
#91 of 100 Yaris Cruise Control by vpc5011 Jun 17, 2008 (11:48 am)
Replying to: blacksandyaris (Apr 13, 2008 1:08 am) I went to a dealer wanting a yaris 2008 hatchback with power package/cruise control. The sales man told me it is included in the power package. He ordered a hatchback and I went to check it out at the dealer and there were no cruise control. The dealer than had to pay out of his pocket (or so he says) to get it installed because he lied. He told me that I had to pay for the car inorder for him to order the part. So I did and he said it would be in about 2 or 3 days. Then, he calls me and says the part wont be there for another 3 weeks. Today is the day he said it would be all set. I call and he says he has no clue now when it will be done. I demanded to speak to his manager. I spoke to the parts manager and his manager. The parts manager says for base hatchback, the Toyota company does not make the part for it. So, they have to order all the parts and put it together themselves. But, the parts manager has to order piece by piece overseas because there is no pieces in the US.   I don't know what to do. Should I tell them not to order the part and substitute for free 7 years warranty? I am afraid of them touching the car and doing something they never did before. The cruise control was written into the contract so it has to be delivered or i can take them to court.   By the way only the Sport 2008 ones have cruise control in the power package and the 2007 ones have it.
#92 of 100 Rostra: aka Toyota OEM dealer or self install by commuter9 Jul 16, 2008 (4:03 pm)
I installed a Rostra on my 2007 hatchback. I commute 100 miles a day and really appreciate it. For eBayers, Courtesy Toyota of Tampa has a listing under Yaris for the Rostra CC at $225 plus $12 shipping. The parts are warranteed for one year by Toyota, since it is listed as an OEM part. You can get the install manual from the Rostra web site tech support page. It was practically a no-brainer, but finding some of the components, especially the transaxle connector took me awhile. The pictures are basically lousy. Be sure to slide the control switch's pins in according to the color swatches on the plug. The blue from the switch goes in at the blue swatch but connects to the orange wire of the control module. The squeeze on wire connectors are a pain, must use pliers, and I suggest after you install and it is working correctly, you go back and solder them. If you have big hands, you are going to get scratched up (if you have small hands, you are going to get scratched up). This is the fourth cruise control I have installed in a vehicle, and it was the easiest. No vacuum hoses or servos to fool with and find places under the hood for. Also, no need to take out the fender liner, as the instructions say. Just jack up the left wheel and pop the front liner button off, then bend back the liner to feed the red wire through. I cut it and pushed it through the fender well grommet impaled on an icepick into the cabin, then used a crimp connector. Much, much easier. Most of the wiring is too long, so you have to cram it and wedge it out of sight. Double stick pads don't hold on the control module, so I used epoxy puddy, instead. Oh, by the by, if you don't already know, the Yaris radio does not have a security code, ("entry level car", remember?), so ignore the instruction to write it down. Finding a good spot for the control switch on the column is a slight problem. Your knee might hit it, if you install as recommended. I moved mine back. I can't see it, because of the steering wheel, but I still know it is there . They can try to shame us by saying the Yaris is an entry level car, but with the money I am saving on gas, I am literally getting it for free. I have kept my much loved 2001 Trooper 5 speed, and it's 16 MPG to use as a workhorse and swamp buggy.    The Swamprat Commuter Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jul 17, 2008 6:13 am)

Replying to: dake (Apr 06, 2008 5:05 am) I'm in Canada and just purchased a 2008 Yaris 5 door hatchback. I got the cruise for an extra $450 installed but the control stick is so short that I can't see it when I'm driving! It hides behind the steering wheel. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Replying to: cathy8 (Jul 20, 2008 7:37 am) No simple fix, it is what it is. If it's the traditional Toyota (also used by other carmakers) cruise stalk, its operation is pretty logical. So my advice is, study it carefully and get used to operating it by feel. As you are leaning how to use it, you might find it helpful to make a little drawing of it with the operations clearly labeled, and tape that to the dash where you can see it easily.

Replying to: backy (Jul 20, 2008 8:56 am) I like the idea about taping a pic to my dash. Thanks. I've been doing some Internet research and my cruise looks exactly like the Rostra cruise. I had been told that I would be getting genuine Toyota cruise but it doesn't seem like that's what I got. I'll have to ask tomorrow when the dealership is open again.   Thanks for the response.
