Area 451 Cruise Control Installed today

love it! got it yesterday and had GraphicsNTint in Falls Church do the install ($250) after HBL Smart Center gave me a quote of $570. OUCH..
I use cruise control to keep me from getting tickets where the speed is posted 35mph, falls church, fairfax, arlington... if there is not quota system in these places i will stop eating all the donuts so the local "man" can eat his share.

I got my smart 3 weeks ago, installed the cruise control and really like it a lot. They did a great job designing it. No problems at all!

Don't worry Wdhitch! You'll have it in there no problemo.

I told the wife on the ride home tonight that I am getting cruise for the red Smart in March (as well as an armrest). That's the reason I rack up so many miles on the other green Smart - it has cruise and an armrest.

The hard part of the install is swapping wiring from the computer harness. take your time, verify wire colors, done in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours total

Well... Jenn made it home before me and once she saw the box there was no waiting.

Install only took about an hour and a half!! and it's not nearly as hard as I thought it was.

I LOVE MY CRUISE CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
