On my computer when you look at the instructions at the beginning of this post, theres a problem. Instead of a picture of the 4 and 2 switch hookup, there are red X's. Can someone post a drawing of the two ways to wire the switches up? Thanks!

The photos are on photobucket, which gets blocked by many corporate proxy servers. PM me your email address and I'll send you the instructions with the pictures.

2008....did you have the icon on your gauge cluster? I looked on mine, but didn't have one. Bummer.

No, the 2008 LB doesn't have the light on the dash. But really, I didn't need it. I may at some point add the other 2 buttons though.

Take a look at this thread:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16188

It shows what is required to do it with and 07 or 08. Basically, the extra work is running a wire from the switches to an empty pin on the ECM.

Mod is in and working! The lights for CC come on in the dash and the four buttons are working. I really needed this because my feet are going numb and its hard to feel how much to press the gas pedal. Now I can do it with the pushbuttons a lot of the time. Thankyou so much for this idea!

PS The wife and everybody at work were not exactly supportive about this. "Whattaya messin' wit a bran new car fo...yo is gonna RUIN it!" You need to break through this negative energy sometimes!

PPS My car is a 2009 Basic 2 door HB. Made last September. Oh and it is black in color. I think that helped....
