Duncan Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Just wanted to let everyone know, I've just had cruise control installed by nigel from www.cruisecontrol.com.au $800 installed and it works great - and hopefully will keep my licence intact stalk looks like this (set, resume, accel, decel, and 2 memory speeds (eg 110 and 60). sorry out of focus control unit and throttle looks like this control unit hidden behind ABS Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179321-cruise-control/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNR32t Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 This looks great, i will have to get one. Whats the minimum speed set? My sisters only goes down to 60, but 40+ would be good cause school zones are painful. And what is the maximum? again mysisters is gay and wont let you set it higher than 109km/h which is gay for highway as i like to do about 115.

Chris Rogers Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 loks like a VDO unit. not a bad system actually. see also ROSTRA,SCS,COMMAND. all of those will work on these cars. $7-800 is the norm for them.

ian Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 yep, see the extensive post from about a year ago (I use the Rostra global cruise). It (the rostra) doesn't have a minimum speed (I think you can set that in the dip switches) and there is no upper limit (I've had it on at 200km/h..)

Chris Rogers Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I can put them on the wheel easy enough. stalks tend to go where they will fit. theres not a lot of room around the OE stalks on some of them.

I hate the stalk ones - the rostra ones I have use a rf linked control (so no wires) and clip onto the steering wheel. You can even unclip it and hand it to the wife in the passenger seat and she can make the car go faster or slower until she is happy.. :-) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179321-cruise-control/#findComment-3271922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 petrolfix, I've got pretty long legs but haven't got near the stalk with my knees. They offered me a steering wheel switch option but I prefer the stalk Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179321-cruise-control/#findComment-3274547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipster11 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 had a reply back from the guy on ebay Hi Tom,The unit is fully electronic OE unit (Delco). It uses a magnet on the tail shaft to measure the speed and controls the throttle from the unit. It will suit a turbo motor as there are no vacuum connections required. You need to connect the control cable to the throttle (universal brackets are supplied). should be about $200 which sounds more reasonable to be (especially being a uni student and all) and should be a case of plugging a few things together and away you go Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179321-cruise-control/#findComment-5493565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
910trx Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 i have aftermarket cruise on my s2 stag and its awesome i looked into the magnet ones and the big problem is when the magnets come off and finding replacements, the awful panel, and getting a good spot to attach the kit. Plus i found that after so many revolutions the cruise will not opperate so it has in effect a speed limitation. highly recommend getting one with a stepper motor instead of an extended reservoir vac tank also. mine is a little slow to rect on hills etc although turning up the gain will help but CBF covered 3000kms towing in 2.5 days and the cruise was awesome when installing it i went for a stalk in the end although i already had a cm21 (for ap models) steering wheel remote CBF attaching it and went lazy stalk why go magnet when the stock ecu has a speed wire to tap into?- this way it never runs out of scope likethe magnetic ones do. if you are looking for a cheap option i will off load the cm21 for $50 (cost $140) as its useless to me and it has never been used! (a little sly selling stuff here...) - just need to buy the stepper motor then and tap into the loom.

pipster11 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 wish i had read that i just bought the one on ebay should be here soon, it uses a stepper motor too and the switches should fit where the headlight angle controls are Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179321-cruise-control/#findComment-5494519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
