Hi guys! somebody posted this on another site and I'm really excited that i may get cruise control. Does anybody know if it will hook up? The poster wasn't sure and I don't want to waste any money. Thanks in advance

Not sure if it will work with the Z since the Z has an electronically controlled throttle body, most aftermarket cruise controls just grab the throttle cable and hold them in the position you set the cruise in

This one might be different tho

 

The mention of "Vacuum canister" makes me think that it uses a mechanical connection to hold/control the actual throttle. The "electronic" part of the device is in the speed sensor.

The Z uses fly-by-wire so there is no mechanical control over the throttle. It probably won't work. I'd check with JCWhitney or Audiovox. The Audiovox site didn't have much in the way of details on how it work....

Daves, has pointed out an Audiovox, its' sold at Pep boys, I'll go Sun ,7 Aug
and check it out, and let you know. I'am looking for the same thing.

 

I doubt that it will work. I had a base and investigated this mod quite a bit. I found that the stock cruise control interfaces directly with the ECM since all controls including throttle are controlled by the ECM. The enthusiast is a much better buy for this and other features included.
If you go as far as replacing the ECM, let me know. I bought the steering wheel controls before I gave up and would let them go pretty cheap..

 

Hey Greenvette, did you go and check this out? If so, what did you find out? So far based on everything I've read and heard from others it probably won't work but I figure I'd ask.

 

I bought this unit and installed it on our Subie Forester. Yes, the vacuum canister is there to hold the mechanical throttle cable in place. So, no, I don't believe this design will work on a car with electronically controlled throttle.

 

Went to Pep Boys they do not have any Cruice control at all. O well maybe some one will find one down the line.

 

I have been here over 2 years and have not seen one Base model that put aftermarket cruise in.
