AOA Everyone,
I bought a 2012 Toyota Corolla GLi Automatic back in Jul 12. Out of the many things which i had in mind for the new car, the most important thing was the installation of Cruise Control in the vehicle as it shares the same engine (1ZR-FE), same transmission and most importantly the same engine control unit or the ECU. So after a year of research, importing of different parts and lots and lots of waiting Today finally by the help of Allah Almighty i have managed to make the cruise control work.Before we engage in the discussion that why i didnt go for the altis cruisetronic in the first place, well the answer is simple if i had the money i would have definitely bought it (The price diff was Rs 160k at that time dont know about now) A few parts that i had to change in order to make the CC work are:A used leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and built in cruise control switches (Came as a bonus) from ebay.uk Altis clock spring or spiral cable from Hamza Younis Auto in Rwp2011-13 Altis speedometer from Indus motors karachiAnd then a few wiring issues sorted out by Arshad Auto Electrician in RwpHere i would also like to thank Mr Zunny aka ZZ for his valuable input and help in procuring the parts for the carI found a complete DIY for installation of cruise control in toyota corolla on the net which helped me a lot in this installation
Awesome, MashAllah. Could you please tell us the total cost of this Project? Also I see you have the Altis key. Is it genuine? How much did this cost you?
Thanks bro well the steering costed me around 80-90 pounds on ebaythe clock spring was for Rs 4500and speedometer was Rs 27kThe electrician charged for Rs 3000 for both the audio multimedia controls and cruise control wiringAlso the keyless entry was brought from an auto store dont remember the name but its near bahu muhalla for Rs 2500

Exactly, Toyota Doesn't Want To Make Their Car's Better, To Gain Market Toyota Would Have To Take Good Steps Like Adding More Features In Less Price.
Hashams inbox must be getting full by now!! enjoy the fun bro!
Excellent work mate, fantastic! MASHALLAH
thats awesome MA! how does the car respond? 1.3 or 1.6?
Thanks a lot bro
Thank you for the kind words
Thank you mate well the car is 1.6L and i will be testing it thoroughly in a couple of days time, would be able to tell then about the response
Awesome Work. Seriously man if Toyota gives good features in their locally manufactured cars then we have no need tto go for the japanese ones. Awesome gadget added to your vehicle. May ALLAH bless you with more. Ameen
Thnak you very much bro for the nice words
