DIY Cruise Control FAQ (2006-2010 Yaris) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi Scott (or anyone else who might have some insight). My friend has a 2004 Toyota Echo 2 door Hatchback (non RS). He wants to know if there is a DIY Cruise Control method like this for his car as well. He really wants cruise added for his daily work commute. I told him if anyone knows it will be the guys on here.

No. The Echo was cable throttle, so installing cruise control would mean adding a vacuum operated throttle cable actuator as well as the electronics to control it.

Thanks Scott, So I'm gathering his best bet would be to find a wrecked RS version (or any one equipped with factory cruise) and just swap over all of the OEM components.

That would be the best bet, as it would be pretty expensive to purchase all of the parts separately.
