cruise control retrofit kits
The CoastalETech folks have a pretty
good track record, especially with
service. (Instructions are usually
pretty good, and often you can get
videos of how to do your install.)
You might also want to look into the
Retrofit Cruise Control Kit for the
Prius from Toyota. (This came out
after enough complaints from 2001 owners
that wanted cruise control in their
vehicles, as CC wasn't an option back
then...) I ordered mine from Eddie Bell
at toyotapartsnow.com (metro toyota in ohio).
(I see that he's now selling them on eBay too...)
With the help of some friends on the
[email protected] list, we
installed the Toyota Cruise Control
Retrofit kit on my 2001 in a little over
an hour (with photo taking and general
gabbing). The folks I was with already
had a Toyota kit on one 2001, and the
Coastal kit on the other.
Basically, the Toyota retrofit kit
is from Toyota, and acts just like
in the manual. The CoastalETech kit
uses the exact same cruise control
circuitry, just that instead of the
control paddle being on the steering wheel
the coastal kit is a little remote
control.
