Base Model "upgrades"

[Plcd22]

I am curious about the electrical systems and how the base is different from other models:

Question:
I have an 03 base model vibe with NO power anything except for the mirrors. Is the wiring harness still the same as other models with more "options"? If so is it possible (without a ton of expense) to add cruise control to my base model? Or are all kinds of components missing that I would need?

I do a bit of highway driving and I am constantly catching myself over 80 because this baby just goes (once it gets there). This 1.8 may be small but it cruises well!

Thanks in advance for your time!

On 2005 and up Vibes, adding cruise control is as simple as adding the switch to the steering wheel, because all the wiring is already there.

Unfortunately, not the case for 03/04 as your vehicle uses a throttle cable and not an electronic throttle (drive by wire), so a lot of additional hardware is required.

Thanks, I figured mine would be that way

WOW $304 for a complete kit including the "universal disengagement clutch" - would this be hard to do? Has anyone done this before on here?

Thanks for all the help so far!

Look around that site and you can ask them, it is their kit.
