[mttmaverick]

My question: does it show the speed you set it to when its set like it does on my FE?

yes

And then wait 30-45 minutes.

Or press on the brake so that you drain any remaining energy by sending power to the brake lamps.

yes

That's what I was wondering given the other thread on "runaway cruise", and thought it did show the set speed like it does on yours next to the green cruise icon. Cool!

It works great! I have had it on the Highway the last few days traveling 150 miles with the cruise on set @ 80 mph. And no problems at all. You can turn it off, turn it up, etc…..

Did the steering wheel come with the airbag or were you able to reuse the Mav's original air bag?

No we used the existing air bag.

Is there a tutorial or how to guide for how to do this? Video or instructions? Would love to know more about how to do this myself.

Also, do you need specifically 2020 Ford Escape steering wheel or can it be any Ford steering wheel that has buttons for cruise control?

Would installing an XLT steering wheel with cruise control work?

Depending on how much you get the steering wheel for it could be a waste of money. The XLT steering wheel is the same exact wheel as the XL, it just has different switches in it. If you can find the switches from Ford or whoever it might be a cheaper route to go.

The price for the XLT steering wheel with cruise control switches cost $319 plus taxes and the dealership charges $169 for swapping it out. I think the price is reasonable, wont have to mess with it myself and void any warranty's or anything of that nature. The only thing the service rep stated that it will not work due to not being wired for cruise control. Any idea if this is true?

I think it would benefit you to read all of this. You can easily do it yourself. They can't "void your warranty" for adding cruise control. All they can do is try to prove that whatever issue you have was caused by you adding cruise control. Maybe some people just shouldn't attempt this and buy an XLT instead. There is no "wiring", there are two switches and some programming that needs to be done.
