Ok so ive had really good look for info, Ive found some but seems alot of it is rather old..

I have access to all the parts FROM a VT to do it to my VX.

My VX has the plug on drivers side strut tower.

Im wanting to know if any has a diagram of how to swap it over so i can grab all the parts i need etc as thats what im unsure,

BTW awesome forum with good info :)

UPDATE: I was at the wrecker's grabbing couple bits. He seem's to think you cant just add cruise control to a car that wasnt made with it? Even though the plug etc is there.

I thought all you needed is..
Loom to the Module.
Module
Throttle body attachment
brake switch thing.
Loom
and Cruise control stalk..

Im sure if you have a 4 pin connection inside your steering column.. and the plug in the engine you should be able to do it.

Suprised wreckers would say that.. Cruise control has been around for a while.. My mates VP has Cruise control.. so I dont see why VX doesnt have them stock?

Yup ive got all parts required, I beleive the vx i have is the lower class model so was not fitted but in this case has all the wiring there ready. So now im unsure?

hey mate my vt was the same with the plug(orange around it) in the engine bay..... all i did was buy a blinker arm with the cruise buttons(when u take ur old blinker arm out u will see the seperate black wire for the cruise to plug into the new arm), got the module/unit and cable, fitted n plugged it all in and put the relay or fuse in the fuse box and it all worked... i found if u have the plug in the bay u wont have to change the brake pedal switch as its already the correct one and plugged in...

if u need any help with it mate send me a pm
