Because of liability issues, you'll find virtually no Smart dealers allowed to install. I'm surprised that we heard of one that did an install.

Paranoia goes a long way, I guess. Either that or conflict of interest.

Seattle smartcenter is now working with Car Toys of Tukwila on the install of the Area 451 cruise. They do excellent work, they guarantee their work, and they will also cover any & all labor costs charged by smartcenter for diagnosing a problem if the problem is found to be caused by the cruise control! It's a pretty sweet deal!! :>)

I want to express my great satisfaction with Steven/Smartie Parts. My Cruise Control was shipped promptly and after a bone-headed blunder on my part, Steven went the extra mile to make sure that I was taken care of.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Smartie Parts as a super vendor to anyone.

Thanks again Steven.

Be up front and nice.

I took a printout of the instructions along with the unit when I asked. I talked to the sales advisor, and the tech himself. I was honest and said if you can't do this I understand. If you really don't want to, here are the instructions to save some time. And I'll let the SCOA folks know that this (Germantown) dealership will perform the install. Several folks are looking for this.

Sometimes it's just a matter of education. Some probably don't want to take the time. Make it as easy as you can.

Installed mine and it took maybe 2 hrs total. The pins are a snap with the enclosed tool. Just slow down so you do not make a mistake. I did them one at a time to avoid confusion. Cut some extra ty wraps to get the harness out where you can see it, and then re wrap the setup to make it neat and support any viabration on individual pins.
