Oh wow. I wish I had a salvage yard around here for just such things.

So you didn't have to pull out the old wiring harness and install the "new" one? Or did you just run the plug a few new wires?

I'd love to do that but I don't have the ability to source the parts, other than online. And while I'm pretty handy, I'd hate to tape into my wiring and mess something up. I already looked into another steering wheel with OEM switches, Rostra told me their system wouldn't be able to be used with the factory switches. Probably due to relays and all. I'd need a lot to add OEM cruise control. Steering wheel, wiring harnesses, brake master cylinder, relays, actuator, cables, and whatever various other wiring and parts.

This Rostra system seems pretty straight forward. Run a power and ground wire, a brake switch/sensor, the on/off switch, and then mounting the actuator/cable under the hood. I know it's probably not that simple but doesn't seem too difficult.
