The cruise control DIY thread.

[maroguy1]

Alright i picked up the switch and I took it apart and soldered some speaker wire to pins 1 and 4 and just ran it out the bottom side of the switch. I zip tied the switch to the shifter as shown in previous posts.

I have an 08 svm and i have the 5 yr 100k mile warranty so i didn't want to cut, splice or solder any of the vehicles wires so i pushed the 2 wires into the back of the connector and wrapped tape around it so i can just pull them out if i have to take it in for warranty work.

I also tried connecting the light on the dash and it did not work but i dont care all that much about it.

It does work nice and for the 22$ i spent on the switch it was well worth it :P

You need to have a 2006 and over Aveo with drive by wire, buy the factory Aveo cruise conrol switch at the GM dealer, and install it.

I ordered the cruise switch/module from my local dealer and it cost me exactly $21.89, I am going to assume this price varies depending on the dealership. I installed it a few hours ago and it works beautifully, just like any cruise control. I have a 2007 Aveo Icelandic as bare as it could get. After reading these posts I thought hmm.. this could really work. And it does. The only part that can be misread is what pin on the cruise switch is needed to be used. It is 1 and 4, someone reading it can mistake "the two outside pins" as being pin 3 and 4.

Yeah also try not to connect the two green wires out of the harness in the firewall backwards otherwise, as mentioned before in this thread, your car won't accelerate past half and the check engine light will come on. I made this easy to do mistake, now I'm just waiting for it to turn off... it will eventually because everything is hooked back up properly. Just mark the wires or remember what goes where.... it was pretty dumb of me not to do it.

All in all the cruise is awesome and thanks everyone for posting, this definately helped me.

Post pics of where you installed the switch.

I mounted mine below the cup holders, tucked up behind the lip...it's easily reachable and discreet. I'll take some pics when the g/f doesn't have the car.
