Wiper and Headlight stalk configuration
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 4:09 AM
I am stuck here in Japan, and trying to find out some information on installing cruise control for a Toyota Cav. I talked to my father about it, and he asked if the cruise control stalk would be on the same side as the Chevy version. Can you guys take a look at these pics and tell me if the orientation is the same?

If you need better ones I can try and track them down.

So would the Cav cruise control stalk be able to be installed?

Can the two be switched, I mean is it just a harness that keeps them in, or is there something else that would keep them from being swapped?

What I am asking is can I physically take the Chevy parts, and plug them into the Toyota, IE is the wiring the only thing that connects them, and can they switch sides?

Cruise isn't very popular or necessary over here, so no, the car doesn't have it, at least not that I know of.

If California is big enough for Cruise Control then japan is too.

you could try disassembling a north american unit and a japan unit and seeing if you can just add the piece on the end with the button and switch. if not, you could get a universal cruise control unit with a separate control stalk for the cruise and try your best to make it look stock on the steering column.

Toyota Cavs didn't have cruise control. Since the headlight stick is on the other side, you couldn't use a stock Chevy arm in it's place either.

You could add the wiring for it... I've helped a couple of people install factory cruise parts onto a base model car, it's not that difficult. So in that respect, you could add it to the Toyota Cav.. but as for the switch, no dice...
