Replying to: ycrtsb (Mar 23, 2009 8:13 am) The sight complication that I see is that the Versa has a drive by wire throttle which has a servo/stepper motor on the throttle on the carb. This means that there is no cable from the gas pedal to the throttle on the carb that could be acuated by an external cruise control servo. All the throttle controlling is done by the engine computer that senses the movement of the gas pedal and then sends appropriate raise or lower commands to the servo on the carb. Any add on cruise control would have to be able to instruct the engine computer to control the servo on the throttle. Frank 2009 Versa S Sedan
#5 of 5 Had dealer installed cruise offered at 2 dealers with 6 speed. by jss5 Mar 29, 2009 (2:14 pm)
Had a dealer offer to install cruise at his cost which he said was 270 on a 5 speed 1.6. Had another dealer actually install cruise on my hatchback s with six speed. warranted for 36 months by dealer. Second dealer said his cost was about 500? Seemed like a big spread for two dealers only 30 miles apart here in the Florida panhandle. I think you can try to negotiate it as part of your deal and get it warranted by the dealer. good luck!! john
