I looked at the Rostra installation instructions and it actually connects to the ECM via the accelerator position sensor input. It has inputs to its own module from the brake pedal and gas pedal as well. Basically, it does the cruise control thing the way it would be done on a car who's ECM doesn't do it, so the bottom line is that none of the Rostra wiring would be of any value, if you switched to the OEM method.
