350z Base Cruise Control??
I bought my Z last year and this is my very first post! would like to say hello to all the Z owners out there and hope someone can shed some light on a question. I have an 08 Base Model and I was wondering if there was some way to install cruise control. Has anyone actually been successful? From what I gather, it's impossible. Some say it's been done but never follow up with any additional information. thanks in advance!

In the past it was said to be impossible. Recently it became proved not only possible but easy. There are two new threads on it and I suggest in the future you search.
Based on input from others I took the leap and put all the pieces together and have cruise.
Here is my thread:

Nice write up.
Seems the parts are $150ish.. If I wasn't "tuning" my car and just needed the ROM to enable cruise control on a base 2008.. How much is it? Is it something I would need to go to a performance shop that has the tools to do so.. or is it something I can flash with a laptop or something similar?
Essentially, the work I can do no problem,.. just curious of total cost including the ROM. What I've read people are doing this when they are having their cars remapped,.. what if you are just doing the cruise control as a DIY in the garage project? Total cost =? And acquire ROM from?
Thanks!

Uprev might but a tuner you have a relationship with that has been paid to do your tune would be a fool to pull that ish. Mine did it free during a followup baseline. FWIW I paid him over 1k during teh life of my Z (first tune with some bolt ons, second tune more bolt ons, stroker motor baseline & break in & tune etc)

He did it for free because Uprev didn't charge him an extra $100 for enabling cruise on your rom file. Now they're charging EVERYONE, protuners included, $100 for that special stuff. There's nothing a tuner can do in the rom to enable cruise, Uprev's engineers have to add it in for you.

I am the one that started it, I installed the hardware and he added the rom & I had cruise.

Hrmm.. The "hard part" of spending the 45mins- 1hour with the $150 in parts to install the switches etc is not a problem. However, spending $500 or more just for a flash for cruise is not something that I would do.
If they said,.. ok.. we'll flash it for oh.. $100-150 .. I'd probably go for it.. from your posts doesn't seem like that is an option price wise though. I'll probably eventually modify the intake, throw on some exhaust,,.. and other "minor" bolt ons of that nature.. but nothing major -- So a remap is unlikely to be in my future where I'd then ask .. hey can you put cruise on that for me? (for x dollars).
If I do want to call around locally just for kicks.. what would I say to the shops if just asking for Cruise control flash on my car? Just.. "Hey, wondering what it would cost to flash my 2008 350Z Base model to Cruise?" ?
Thanks

Additionally I believe you mean there are uprev protections in place that make it difficult. It was "impossible" to have cruise on a base for years until it was not.
