Please help. I have the 2003 base model with a 2,000 mile round trip next week. I have already installed the pedal switches as well as the controls on the steering wheel. Previously to buying these items I called the local dealership and explained my goal (cruise control) and asked them if they would be capable of the re-flash for cruise. They said it wouldn't be a problem and quoted me $100. I took it in today only to get disappointed. The technician said that his only option was to add the code that the other models have already for cruise but this code also consists of ABS and traction control. The technician said that he didn't know what would happen and that it could possibly fry it.
I am very unfamiliar with ECU's, need some insight.
Will it fry it?
Will it work?
Am I required to have some performance upgrade for this to be possible? If so then why?

I can't say anything about Nissan doing a flash but on my car cal file cf41e gave my ecu cruise and did not change anything else.
Contact UPREV ask for a tuner in your area and ask if he will flash your ecu to just that with no tune. My tuner said he would for a reasonable price, he did it free on my already tuned car. It took longer to bring his laptop to my car than to flash it.

I wouldn't risk some Nissan technician screwing around with your ECU like that. You could end up not only having no cruise control, but no car to take on your trip as well.

Thanks but there was only one tuner that I could find and he said that he couldn't do it. He also said that he didn't know of any other tuner in the state (OK) that would be capable. That is why I resorted to the dealership who told me that it wouldn't be a problem. Now I have fo cruise control since the dealership is unsure of their capabilities. I will contact UpRev directly, as suggested, Monday to see if there is some one nearby that i have missed, their tuner map says that the closest is in Texas and I do not have time for that. Until then I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of the outcome of the dealership attempting the flash.
thanks for the help.
