Cruise Control Install (2007 Mazda3)

[johnnyR]

Haven't seen an answer to this question.
Is there a Toronto/Mississauga installer (aside from the Mazda dealer) who will install an aftermarket cruise control in a 2007 Mazda3?

why go aftermarket. just buy a wheel on ebay with cruise or the controls only and swap it. in a gen 1 there's no dealer programming required, just add the brake switch as well

Confirmed Brake switch

or if you want just the controls

i did this a couple years ago. I went from a rubber wheel to a leather one with the controls. Took about 20 min to swap the wheel and brake switch

I agree, definitely go OEM. I got a set for my GF's car from a wrecker for $20. All I had to do was grab the steering wheel controls and the brake switch.
