Toyota OEM cruise control is okay for Vibe's

Post by fredfreedom »

Yestarday I went to a Toyota dealer near my job to install a Toyota OEM cruise control for my 2005 Vibe, because I didn't took the electrical group on my Vibe. (It was too pricey!)I had to call a couple of Toyota dealers because some of them didn't want to touch to my car because I had a Vibe! The one near my job accept to do it after some discussion with the service guy. So I went on wednesday first, because they want to check if I had a throttle cable of an electronic one. My Vibe is a 2005, so it's an electronic one, and that's great because the cruise control for that throttle is almost a 100$ cheaper than the cable one for 2003-04 Matrix.They set me appointment on friday and when I went on Friday, it was another service guy and this one didn't want to touch my car. Finally, they did it after some discussion to explain that's the same car and now I have a brand new cruise control on the steering wheel with the original look for only 250$ CAD tx and installation included and it work's really well! So, negociate with your nearest Toyota dealer, because it's possible to install a Toyota Matrix cruise control on a Vibe
