I put the aftermarket cruise on mine... works on all years so far. Make sure you get the right one (auto or manual)... works fantastic. There seems to be a lot of aftermarket "bling" parts available for these things, if you are into that. You can download the entire factory service manual for free.

Iridium spark plugs...change every 100,000 miles
