If it's that cheap and easy, why doesn't Toyota just make Cruise standard on the Yaris? We're talking like $15 a Yaris? Seems like the expensive part is already installed (wiring/cruise mechanics).

And if it doesn't work then we are out $15 bucks, not a big deal.

Well, I mean from the factory unless Toyota wants dealers to rip off it's customers? And there's lot's of things included in cars that some people may not use. The point is, is that if every component of cruise control is present except for a $15 stock, it seems wastful not to include it and be an extra selling point for the Yaris - "standard cruise control". It would benefit Toyota.
