Aftermarket Cruise Control

[Danger Phoenix]

Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so how much it would cost to fit a cruise control system on a Toyota Corolla 2005 model?

Does it have a throttle cable?

I don't know... how do I find out?

Ask it politely

It isn't replying

I think it is sleeping... will it tell me if it is turned on?

You'll get arrested...

open the bonnet and have a look. you are looking for something that looks like the end of a push bike brake cable. it will be connected to the throttle body, on a little spindle wheel.

It would be worth it

Any idea where abouts this would be? I don't know much about cars, other than the general maintenance checks

 

[Biohazard]

Something akin to that.

Although it could be anywhere, I don't even know what car that picture is.

Although, it is clearly a toyota before anyone starts.. well.. the engine

It probably will have, and I can't think of any aftermarket cruise control systems i've ever heard of for cables.

it would have to be mechanical, and I wouldn't like that. at all.

The car is currently with Toyota anyway having the AC treatment done, so I will ask them tomorrow when I pop in to collect it.

I thought I would ask here first, because I didn't want to sound stupid tomorrow

Being an ex toyota option fitter I can say it can be done, but would cost so much its madness.

Not just the kit(if still avalible) but the fitting time aswell.

I'm having visions of a "twist-to-lock" choke cable making an appearance

You could try talking to these people Conrad Anderson. First hit on google for aftermarket cruise control.

Supercharged corolla

Surely many Toyotas have built in cruise now anyway? Okay, it's fairly rudimentary, and because the accelerator peddle jams, but still...

cruise control is possible for both, electronic and cable driven, throttle systems.

cost is in the region of £450-500 fitted

Ouch! I think I will give it a miss then

I wouldnt want an aftermarket cruise system to be honest, retrofitting OE kit would be fine, but as per a post above it sounds a bit too much hassle. On some cars (A lot of VWs for instance) it's just a case of replacing the stalk on the steering column.

If you're spending enough time on motorways to make cruise that important, you're probably better off with a more suitable car anyway
