Can you put cruise control on a 5-speed?

Mine is the Rostra one on the left side of the steering column (stationary, like the signal light and wiper stalks). I was kinda disappointed since I was under the impression the Rostra was only something you order and install yourself.

Like CTScott said, it has an indicator directly on it, but it has no way to tell you whether or not you've got it "set". Even worse, the wheel completely blocks it, so I can't see if it's on unless the wheel is turned or I move my head.

My father-in-law's Prius has the OEM cruise with the stalk on the right side of the wheel itself (it turns with the steering wheel). I found this one far more comfortable to use.

I'm not sure where you're getting this 3 handle idea from though, unless you are referring to the

So when the dealer does the installation, it is a aftermarket unit (Rostra)??
Not a genuine Toyota part?? The dealer can't obtain the true OEM unit??

I imagine it would be more work (and money) to install the true OEM unit. My instrument cluster doesn't have a cruise indicator, so that would probably need to have been swapped out. There might be other stuff inside that might have needed changing as well.

It is actually far less work to install the OEM one than the Rostra one, but on Yaris prior to 09, you would not have any indicator (unless you used the indicator module that I build for DIYers). I don't believe that swapping the cluster alone would make the indicator work, as I've found that the 07 and 08 ECMs don't send the CAN bus messages to the cluster for turning the cruise indicator(s) on.

What type of kit do you make? I want cruise on my 08 manual
liftback. Would be nice to have OEM type install.

I don't make a complete kit, but I do make a device that provides an indicator for 06-08 Yaris, which don't have the indicator on the cluster. The link below is a FAQ that I put together to pull all of the info together. It has info about my indicator module:
