Jimny Cruise Control Question.

Ok got it. My problem was i was hooking into the green with yellow stripe wire instead of the yellow with green stripe wire there is not to much difference. and the black wire is not connected to anything..
It is immediately responsive not sluggish at all. The slowest it works is 50k which is about the same as my other car. so all in all it is a must have and very easy to fit.

Am thinking of having a Waeco MS-50 cruise control kit installed (Jimny '03 Auto) by an AA friend of mine - may I pick your brains please?

1. Can it be set to any speed? Read somewhere that the max is 50.
2. How long do think it would take him to install it?

Thanks

Hi Tessa,

Mine was not a Waceo cruise control but it would need similar installation and throttle controls.

Rough estimate two to four hours for a competent installer with good experience of the particular cruise control.

The standard charge by installers is £200 to £300 which indicates that they are estimating four to six hours labour and still make a profit.

There are some rogues out there!

If it's the first one your friend has installed then it may easily take a whole day.

I have had mine working at 60mph with no problem.

One thing I would advise for an automatic, only have the maximum cruise control throttle opening a third to a half full throttle.

This is because if the cruise control is engaged and the road gets steeper the gearbox can drop down a gear. If the CC can access full throttle the engine will scream its head off and you can damage your engine.

This applies to CC's which have an automatic setting.
