Having recently bought a 96 GQ auto petrol patrol, I have decided that I cannot live without cruise control. Can anyone make any recommendations on fitting cruise control to this vehicle (in the Brisbane area)? Can the controls be mounted on the steering wheel, or do they have to be on the dash?

Cheers

I have an Autron Cruise control fitted to my Hilux manual and would not be without it. Fitted by the authorised agent at Stones Corner.

will be keenly watching for replies

i have GQ auto-diesel and am considering a cruise control (also in Brissie)

auto electrician suggested the magnet types are fiddly but one that runs off speedo would be easier if they are available and if speedo is electric

I chucked an AP50 cruise control onto our 80 series and it worked perfectly. I wouldnt worry too much about magnets as I never had a problem in over 8 years with mine.

Overall worked just as good if not better than OE cruise controls.

Did the wire break or the magnet itself come off?

Off-track,
Two have fallen off or been knocked off by either tail shaft movement or rocks or stones.
The last one i had araldited on as well as the wire, but it was lost during a very recent gear box transfer.
My previous source has dried up.

quick google;

If I can find my spares in the shed I can send them on, no use for them any more as new LC has factory cruise.
