Installing Cruise and Power Locks?

Post by Berg »

Hello.My wife and I just picked up our new 2005 Vibe yesterday (it's moonstone). We love it, but there are just a few things missing...Cruise control and Power locks.We may just get used to not having them, but...If we were to get these installed, how easy (affordable) would that be? How does it look when done? Do the changes look identical to factory shipped models? Also, how does this affect our 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty?Thanks for your help. This seems like a very friendly community.

Cruise Control - Depends on how your throttle is done. If it's cable driven, you can go to Toyota and get the Toyota Cruise control installed (stock look). If it's 'drive-by-wire', meaning an electronic throttle, you're SOL.Power door locks - These are expensive to add as they use cable driven locks, so they require a lot more work and more parts to do the install.I guess there's no chance you can perhaps, trade for one with the power package? It might be easier on your wallet..

Seems like it'd actually be easier, just an ECU change or something, since the throttle's already electronically controlled.....
