Komeuppance Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I know some of you may not be excited as I am about this, but I've installed a standalone cruise control system (Not a bad way to spend $90). Audiovox CCS-100, many good reviews on Amazon.com where I purchased with free shipping. My list of accomplishments: 1. Get cruise control working so my daily drive on the freeway is less sucky. 2. COMPLETELY hide the cruise control unit 3. Interface aftermarket system with STOCK CONTROLS 4. Take pictures for a how to/write up. My write up will also apply to hiding your stock cruise control, if it still works... instead of all you guys that like to remove it completely. If it doesn't work, do some troubleshooting, and when that fails get the CCS-100. Now, all you gotta do is wait... becuase it's almost 4am and I just came back from the first test run. Working under the dash = LAME. Who else is cruisin' for a bruisin'?? -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzNutz Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I finally just got mine working good again. Are you planning on hiding the column controls? And where. How will access be. Guess Im gonna have to wait to see what you did lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyWadd Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 why dont you just run the latest manual cruise control foot operated unit. duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 My OEM cruise control works. Most of the time when someones cruise control doesn't work it would be the filters inside the actuator or the clutch switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Or a conversion to mpi that eliminates the stock harness. I am interested in the writeup and to see how well it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 No friggin' WAY I'd pay 90 bucks for cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^^ LOL... you must not drive on the freeway that much. Maybe your car isn't reliable enough?? LMAO... kidding!! You guys with still working OEM cruise systems can put yours in the same spot as mine, which is what I would have done if my stock system didn't fail so hard. (Everything checked out ok, besides the speed sensor) I'm going to maybe do some fine tuning tonight and then the write up, if I don't fall asleep first... 4 hours of sleep FTL!! -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have cruise in my Maxima, but not in the 'quest. I don't need it. I just can't justify spending 90 clams on something that came from the factory, but then again I'm a cheapskate... I mean... frugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't justify spending 90 clams on something that came from the factory, but then again I'm a cheapskate... I mean... frugal. Yeah, I was trying to find a good actuator and I thought $30 was a fair price... but never got around to getting it. Then I borrowed my friends which didn't work on his car, but tested out ok... and it did nothing on my car. Wish the FSM was a bit more detailed. Even when my cruise did work, it would hold at 64mph max after... it only held higher a couple times... those were the days!! I tried to fix it, but eventually got pissed off enough I just decided to drop $$ as this seems like it'd be more reliable than buying used parts. Weight savings = whatever the cruise computer in the back weighs... hah. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Or a conversion to mpi that eliminates the stock harness.

DzNutz Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 cruise control cable connects to the gas petal inside the car,, going MPi has nothing to do with it, I think he was talking about eliminating the factory electrical harness by going MPI. At least thats how I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Haha, the guide is up... now maybe you southern guys can stop using that 6 pack to hold the pedal down. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92272 -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzNutz Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I see, Its using the factory switch but moving the actuator under the dash instead of under the hood. That would help clean up the engine bay nicely, 'cept it crams more stuff under the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
