That is awsome.
I'm surprised cruise wasn't standard equiptment then on USDM vehicles.
Or why Rostra's cruise isn't just the parts needed to make the factory cruise work?

With electronic throttle control, cruise control is a trivial bit of software in the ECM. I suspect that it wasn't made standard as a cost savings measure.

Rostra probably had no idea how easy it was to use the existing cruise and since they have been making aftermarket cruise control systems for quite some time, it would probably have been more work for them to work with what the Yaris had, as opposed to using what they already make.
