marzman Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi all... My zed is a JDM model, and i think it has every possible factory option. Unfortunately that includes the very rare Nissan MOMO steering wheel - which doesnt have any buttons on it - hence i dont have Cruise Control Has anyone tried to retrofit cruise control before to a non-cruise control car? I'm pretty sure if i swapped the wheel for a normal wheel the wiring would already be there... Anyone one wanna swap wheels with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Cool... Here's a pic of my Momo wheel. It's only done 35k miles and is in perfect condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 When i replaced my steering where i lost the cruise control buttons. Im gonna see at some stage if i can move the buttons from my old wheel and mount on the centre console. If you have the wiring going to the column you may be able to do the same thing. iirc when i took the old wheel off theres on a few wires going to the panel, i dont think it will be that hard to re-locate it.

Cheers Mark. I guess i'll need to find out what the cruise control wires are and then whip my wheel off and have a butchers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Funnily enough, when I still had my JDM Honda Prelude, I purchased an aftermarket steering wheel for it and relocated the cruise control buttons to the centre console. All I did was remember what colour wire went where and then just snipped the cruise control loom nearest the steering column and extended the wires and job was done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day if it dont work ill just join the wires back together and leave as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 There should be a plug tho for the steering wheel at the steering column, well on the Honda there was at least, kept it intact wheel side as the buttons were removable as a unit. Had a single DIN stereo with a pocket below and put the buttons there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Im not sure how Nissan compares to VW`s but when I retro fitted cruise control to my old golf, not only did I have to fit the controls and wire them into the loom, but I had to enable cruise control on the cars ECU using the ODB2 software. Easily done tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightRacer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Keep us posted with how you get on as I'd like to do this too. from the info I had dug up it was said its not possible using the stock cruise from a UK model because of the control unit differences. I'd be well chuffed if you could make it work though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
