Re: cruise control
No i dont believe it was ever an option on fto's. But yes some people have fitted aftermarket units. I believe kustomfto has one in his.

Re: cruise control
cool, thanks. i'm guessin that as long as the ecu has the right brains to do it then it's just a matter of gettin all the other bits. would something from another mitzy fit it? like lancer, galant etc.
just saw 1 on ebay for $230 as a kit. thats pretty cheap. anyone ever fitted one of these??
thanks fto'ers.

Re: cruise control
Okay, i had a look and all I could find was Gearknob cc $550. So i'm guessing that included the kit and installation, sorry I couldn't help out more.
I did have a quick look over google and I think ive sussed out the cruise control unit to be made by Goldcruise.

Re: cruise control
Yeah, that's it: http://www.conrad-anderson.co.uk/cruise ... module.htm
That said, you can fit pretty much any cruise control to the FTO. I looked at stalk, paddle and switch options before I settled on the gear knob option.
