Lightbulb Cruise control

is such a thing possible on the Fez? Where can I get it installed?

Yesterday I did ~700km Kellyville > Canberra > Braidwood > Kellyville and found myself usually on the high side of the posted limit for most of the trip. Besides that, it would be nice to set and forget the speed and relax a little as I do when driving my brother's Liberty.

there are many AFtermarket ones available. not too sure on the brand. but you would have to get one that works Via an electronic Throttlebody.. as in NO WIRES....

so it would have to be something that interfaces with the ECU...
(as far as i can tell) lol

but it is definately possible....

Contact the XR5 peeps. as some of them have done it to their car! and im sure it would be transferable on the Fez!

I was quoted around $800 to have an Auscruise drive by wire system installed with steering wheel mounted controled. It looked pretty good, but I need to save my pennies for a bit longer.

2 years on has anyone actually know or have a cruise control that works well?
Last weekend we drove my wife's 2007 Fiesta from Campbellfield to Tocumwal.
I was surprised how well it went traveling @110km/h sits on 3000rpm only used 34 litres of fuel.
Cost $40 @ $1.16 a litre.
