It is not quite as simple as it sounds.

You will need the floor loom at least which will require you to rip out the seats and carpet, and then you will need to make sure that your steering column loom has the correct plugs.

Body/Floor wiring loom from a car with Cruise Control
Cruise Control ECU - located under the centre console
Vacuum Pump - behind windscreen washer bottle LHS Engine Bay
Vacuum Actuator and Cruise Cable- behind brake master cylinder RHS Engine Bay
Vacuum Release/Cancel Switch on Brake Pedal and Clutch Pedal if Manual
Associated loom and plugs to connect all the above
Associated Vacuum hoses to connect all the above.

It is doable, and you would be best to strip all the components yourself from the donor car, so you can either take pictures or notes of how it came out so you can put it in yours.

Good Luck
BenJ

Possibly. The Factory cruise buttons have built in resistors to work with the factory cruise module. You would need to establish what signal the aftermarket cruise needs and then try to match it so it will work.

Or it may not work at all.

You can always get the horn pad that doesn't have cruise buttons. I know a fellow member on Fordmods that would happily swap you his for the cruise one.

If your car has power windows the cruise loom is already there.
