The cruise control DIY thread.

your drive by wire, but your 08 is 09+ spec here, so you need to do the 09+ install, not the firewall wires like 04-08.

Thank you i will post my questions at the "2011 aveo sedan cruise control Install" post.

[farru1981]

your Gas Pedal looks like the one in my 2010, so YES, your Car is Drive By Wire. and one question, does your RPO Label have the Code C98? (its the code for the Passenger Sensing Airbags) if so, you can order the Clockspring to put the switches in the steering wheel.

According to my VIN number i haven't seen at the GM TIS 2010 Program any RPO Code starting with C98, i have seen only this:
C99 = SWITCH INFL RST I/P MDL MAN SUPPRESSION

¿Is this what are you referring?

So after reading thought the thread, and looking over the photo
I'm seeing this this might be 3 resistors connected to switches?
Can any one confirm this?
Trying to find out what those values for the resistors might be, if that's what is it is.

[odwdinc]

Yes!!, they are infact 3 resistors connected to a switch and 2 buttons!!



I now have a fulling working cruise control !!

Are there any instructions for a 2005 Aveo hatchback. I know it's not the plug and play easy operation like the 2006 and later, but it will cost 430.00 to have it installed. Cheaper than a speeding ticket, I guess

I have an '06 Aveo5 hatchback and just installed cruise control into it this weekend. After looking at the different locations where other people had their cc switch installed wasn't very appealing to me. I tried a different location that I haven't seen posted yet so I want to share what I did. I have mine attached to the speedometer housing.

The cut out.


Modifying CC Switch to fit contour of speedometer housing.

CC Switch mounted to speedometer housing using panhead screws and nuts. I used a dab of glue on crew and nut so they wouldn't loosen, which you can see better in the next picture.

Wiring attached to CC Switch

Speedometer housing partially reinstalled to check fit with wires.

A better view of where I ran the wires in the speedometer housing.

A few finished install pics







I like where I put the CC Switch, out of the way and no where near the windshield wiper lever which makes it very safe to operate. It is in very good view and easy to reach.

Everything went back together very easy as there was enough room for the screws/nuts and wires. Took the car out for a drive and the CC Switch works flawless. Hopefully others will follow, it is by far a safer location, unless you want to buy a clock spring for the steering wheel. $$$$

That's a really nice spot! I 'modified' mine as well to fit the contour, but I went behind the windshield stalk.

Thanks PoisonIvy, I thought so too. You have a picture to show what yours looks like.
