Anyone near or Semi near Raleigh have a Cruise control on their smart?

Hi folks. I'm in the Raleigh area for the next 7 weeks and am still on the fence as to which CC to purchase. I've read a whole bunch on each, but I'd really like to see one installed in a car and working, see how it's used, etc..
if there is anyone within a 100 miles of Raleigh, NC, I'd be more than happy to take a drive out and check it out. I'll buy lunch!!
Thank you,
Ozzie

Going Up I95

I ordered the Smartmadness CC for my brand new Brabus I expect it to arrrive tomorrow. I am from the Myrtle Beach area, but the weekend of the 16th of May I plan to go to Richmond which will put me near Raliegh. I intend to install the CC as soon as it gets to me so if that would fit your plans let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Hi, I live in Fayetteville, NC. I've got an Area451 CC installed. I absolutely love it. I'm not sure you want to check it out...cuz you'll be spoiled after that. LOL!

My schedule is very fluid, but I'd be more than happy to make some kind of arrangement for a demo...if you let me test drive your BRABUS! Just kidding. Drop me a line.

Sounds good Rwest, I'll be installing the Low freq Horn this Sunday and hopefully the 12 volt power port behind the driver and maybe another one behind the pass seat. I ordered the exact ones shown on Kane's site ( Evilution) small and compact with a captive cap. Got the wires and will hopefully do those mods this sunday, maybe Monday the latest. Looking forward on seeing how you lke the CC RWest. I'm definitely going to try and get to D Force's place also if he's free to test out the 451. Will post my thoughts.

CC is working

Ozzie,
I installed the CC yesterday but my lack of understanding of the programing instructions caused some delay. I fumbled my way through the programing and all is now well. I am very pleased with its operation. The boost was easy to program but the hard to understand cruise control programing left me scratching my head.
