2010 Cruise Control

[BigFalcon]

I've been reading through the DIY and want to install cruise control on my '10 Aveo5. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on whether it plugs into the ECU or if it works the same way as the earlier Aveo5 models?

I'm intrested...and I'm not sure if anyones done it on the newer Aveos yet....but according to the schematic for a 2010, the cruise control switch goes through the clock spring, and links into pins 30 (grey) and 31 (Brown) on connector x1 of the ipc, from there it communicates with the ECM using serial data lines

I'm taking the plunge on this....

I have a 2010 Aveo5 LS. Don't like the idea of adding an aftermarket unit to it. Figure it would be something for the dealership to use to deny any warranty work. So....

I got a steering wheel and column with cruise out of a junkyard for a 2009 Aveo.
I have to pull the steering wheel off of it. This is where it became a pain in the.....
.....there are no threads in the holes to use a steering wheel puller. I'm gonna have to modify something to remove it.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to post pictures here? When I work on it tomorrow I'll snap some pictures and kinda do a how to on installing it in the factory location.

This is how I'm wanting to do this. I'm just having trouble finding a column with everything. They take the switches out to remove the airbag and throw them away.
Let us all know how this works out for you.

It's done.

Heres a little write up with pictures:

Any questions fire away.

BTW...the cruise light doesn't work in the dash I think that the light bulb is missing but I haven't pulled the dash out to confirm.

the button will tell

Unbolt the steering wheel bolt (behind the airbag) and just grab the steering wheel at 9 and 3 and rock it back and forth and pull towards you. it should give way

Nice write up. I found a place today that has column, wheel, and switches. But they want $170 so I'm going to keep looking.

Try car-part.com That is what I use.

you just used the switch and the clockspring (and that bracket) correct? not the whole used column.
