True, I cannot always be a help. But its a choice they'll have to make.

It is nice having someone local on board for installations.

To All:

I have just been advised that Bobby & Steve's Auto World in Bloomington has Area 451 Cruise Controls in stock.
You don't have to wait to get yours!

If there is any question, I can also confirm that Bobby & Steve's Auto World is a qualified and authorized reseller/installer of the Area 451 Cruise Control.

They seem like good folk and by all accounts strive for customer satisfaction and hit that target.

I also want to clarify that I'm not the Steve in that business in case anyone was confused. I know its a rare name so I thought I'd clear that up.

- Steven

OK...we've officially now in the market for a cruise. One of the reason is our trip this upcoming weekend up to Duluth (Oct 3rd) to see the colors (and maybe say hello to Jefferios). We're going to call Steve this week to see if he can get it done for us. Can't wait to see how it works on the freeway...

You will enjoy it! Makes those miles go so much easier. My only suggestion is to think about that optional light for the dash to show when it is ativated (if they have it) the one on the Turn Signal lever is hidden by the steering wheel. Not a deal breaker but it would be a nice touch.

The instrument cluster LED isn't offered by installers or area451parts.com at this time. I'm the guy who has supplied the kits to several dozen fellow smart owners. I'll be able to start putting the kits together again in a few days but look forward to having a cleaner version in a month or two.

It is so nice to see the cruise icon light up when the cruise is on that I had to share!
