hi guys, there is a wrecker that has a falcon with cruise control, but he does not know what to obtain for the cruise control. (usually does not do falcons). What is required to convert a ba xt wagon to cruise control?

As hard as this is to believe, I put cruise on my BA last year & I'm having trouble friggin remembering what I did
Bing!!!!!
I got the kit off ebay...think it was about $110 new.
It had the swithchs that fit on the steering wheel & a switch that went in a bracket above the brake pedal (real bugger to get that one in)
Then I took it to a Ford dealer & the activated it so the car recognized it now had cruise(that was another$50.
I have since bought a Elm which allows my to do all those things Ford charge a fortune for.
Also came in handy when I fitted the XR6 cluster as my BAMk1 did not have traction control so the Elm allowed me to get rid of the pesky T/C light that was always on!
Hope this helps!
Dave.

so lets get this right, i need the following

- switches on the steering wheel
- switch near the brake pedal
- wires that go between switches

where does this plug into?

what is elm by the way???

The wiring & connections are already there from factory, you just dont have the swithches!

But do not pay that much...as I said I got this exact same kit with full instructions for $140.00
You could try the wreckers also.
An Elm is an electronic device that you connect to the plug in the fuse box & to your computer!
You are than able to change or reset numerous settings within the car!(Very mind boggling what it can do )
I had Traction Control lights staying on when I put my XR6 cluster in, as mine does not have T/C.
Have a read!

Mine cost about $55 & saved me $80 the first time I used it. (Ford dealers must hate them LOL)
Cheers, Dave.
Can also was used to get the cruise aknowledged by the car.

mate gold. One question thou. Where did you get it from? I read the how to link you provided. thanks for that. But where did you buy the unit from? I want one lol. (i know im bad, i used a hsv saying. )

I got mine off a guy on ebay who had purchaed it for around $200 (Way to much) & had traded the car for a BF with cruise before he got to fit it. It was brand new with instructions!
You can get on on ebay now for $169 "buy it now" or bidding on other new units with instructions are starting at $100.

But remember once you have it fitted you will need Ford to activate it so the car knows its fitted!
Give your local dealer a call & as them how much to do this...Iv'e heard prices from $50-$80 depending on who you go to!
Good luck & enjoy your foot free driving.

Hey all,
Apologies for dragging up an ancient post!
I'm installing cruise on my XT wagon (auto) using a kit i bought from a wrecker. Ive been able to install the switches but im not sure if i need the brake switch - theres already an identical one in place.
Also -My local Ford dealer wants to charge me $120 to activate it. Does anyone know anyone in Geelong who can do it cheaper?
Thanks!
