Cruise control add-on

[wsimmonsVOXX]

I have 2 questions will this void the factory warranty and the second in do you have authorized dealers and installers? I'm not fond of working on modern automotive electronics

There's nothing about these devices that should void your factory warranty. We have a wide variety of retail installation facilities through the U.S. and Canada. If you want to shoot me an email at [email protected] with your name and zip code, I'll be glad to have a regional manage respond with a list of nearby installers so you can start inquiring about costs from them for a complete kit. The Maverick kit is not available yet but they should be able to give you some ideas.

Bill
Does my "cruise control set to 80mph" message show up on my screen with the Rostra system?
Also, is there a hack to use your cruise control module with factory steering wheel buttons? I like having cruise, didn't want to buy the option package to get it, but I don't really like the added stalk.

It will not show Ford's factory messages on the screen. Likewise, we do not do any testing with control switches which are not ours.

Hey Bill -- how about VOXX offering some fog lights along with that aftermarket cruise control? I'd delay upgrading my XL tires to Falkens if I could rock some fog lights...

The short answer is "probably". There's a lot of different divisions to our company and I'll be going through every product that we have to see if they can be applied. Beyond our cruise control, I'm personally going to start with front and rear parking sensors, seat heaters, and then LED lighting for the bed and, hopefully, fogs.

It would seem to me that the easier option would be to change the switch on the steering wheel and then turn on the cruise control using a program like Forscan. Im not sure how invasive it is to pop that switch but by the picture it doesnt seem like much. Id think a good body shop could do that for you on the steering wheel.

Part # is LB5Z-9C888-G

two options in my opinion.

1 Bite the bullet and spend the $2,285 for the XLT. Or

2 get the cruise control buttons from the “ford parts counter” like $60. Install it (super easy) Then have the dealership program it. (If they will)

The cruise control buttons are part of the steering wheel, you’re not going to get an oem steering wheel for $60. You are gutsier than I swapping out steering wheel with airbag. Search the forum, there is extensive discussion on this subject including the name of the manufacturer of an aftermarket unit (Rostra, I believe).

They arent part of the steering wheel, it is a pod. You can see the diagram above.

I agree. This method would be awesome. Does anybody know if the stock wiring harness supports it, and if Forscan is capable of activating it?

Also, great graphis, MavEcoBoo. Are similar graphics available to help me with trim removal or headunit removal?

I would love front parking sensors! Could they be integrated to just work automatically in parking situations?

Absolutely. Our kit is called FrontZone. It connects to the OBD port on the vehicle to automatically determine your speed and arms and disarms at your typical parking lot speeds.

I need that! Any idea of what pricing typically is? I'm guessing less than $500 based on less than a deductable?

Usually around $120. Here's a link to the website of one of our distributors that sells directly to the public: https://www.mnrelectronics.com/250-1920-fz-forntzone-4-sensor-park-assist-system-display/

Any ideas what the cost for the cruise add on would run? Do you all have a list of installers that are familiar with your products? I'm definitely considering changing from an XLT to an XL and just trying to gather some "after market prices" for some of the add on's I want to do.

Typical retail price for a kit is somewhere between $249 and $299 - add 1-2 hours of installation time on top of that. We have a network of installers through the U.S. and Canada, a lot of which are just your typical car audio/remote start and security type of businesses. If you'll shoot me a message to [email protected] with your postal code I'll add you to my list of folks I need to keep updated on the product release (not that I won't be posting about it here).

i know I read earlier that only special packages or Lariat had "Adaptive Cruise Control",
but my XLT's Vin number says my Hybrid has "Adaptive Cruise Control." Was there a change or was standard Cruise changed to "adaptive"?

Adaptive Cruise Control adds the big benefit of slowing for slowed traffic and then returns to pre-set cruise speed.
