I know it has been done before using an Rx300 actuator with cable, auris or similar 4 pin brake switch, previa cc ECU and control arm. I have wiring diagrams etc. I have checked and I have the correct plug under the bonnet, I have the 4 pin wiring for the brake switch but I can't find the plug for the ECU.. I thought it may be behind the coin holder thing under the door switches but I can't see it. Now looks like it could be under dash behind stereo near glovebox. Does anyone know for definite where the cc ECU is so I can chase the plug down please?! Thanks Behind the speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the assembly behind the front bumper is the distance / radar control. I also believe it is very expensive to retro fitif at all possible on the early Gen 1. I also believe that the 'simple cruise control. can be retrofitted to the Gen 1 facelift, but not the prior model. Unless you are considering changing the manual throttle body for the fly by wire version ! I have no idea what is involved installing that update. Good Luck.

Rojie Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 2 hours ago, MonsterS said: What about the simple cruise control? Chris.ac is very knowledgeable on this subject (among many other subjects). I believe that in order to work the cruise control system needs to actuate the throttle electrically. The early Gen 1 vehicles do not have an electrically operated throttle body. Whether an electrically operated one can be retro fitted is beyond my knowledge. Send Chris a PM if he doesn't respond to this thread. The simple cruise control, by my definition, simply tries to maintain the set speed. The complex system, uses RADAR to maintain the above AND a given distance to the vehicle in front. The simple system is not linked to the braking system, the complex system is I apologise if you already know all this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
