  • DIY Cruise Control in Prado 120?

    Hi Guys

    I have tried search for any forum that could lead me to something like DIY cruise control in my 04 Prado TX but sadly couldn't find anything around. In my country Toyota Fortuner is very popular car same as Prado in Australia and there are group of people who have introduced DIY cruise control in the Fortuner.

    The interesting point here is that Toyota Fortuner is very similar to Toyota Prado in many ways and share the same engine D4D 1KD-FTV. This makes me think that if it is possible to DIY cruise control in Fortuner then why not Prado while it is sharing the same engine? However, in my country there are very very very few people who use Toyota Prado because the price of Prado in Thailand is around 115,300 Australian Dollars while the price of Fortuner is only 45,700 Australian Dollars. With this issue whenever I took my Prado to any workshop and asked them to make a try of installing cruise control everyone just decline to do so because they are not sure if they could make it or destroy it. :?

    Finally, this is the last place I could think about. The link I provided above is in Thai language but if any of you want to make a try just let me know I would be very appreciate to translate them for you and if it turn out successful then don't forget to share with us.

    Interesting site Johnnie, ( pictures anyway ... ) the Fortuner looks like a wagon version of our Hilux utes ? Out of interest are they using genuine Toyota bits to DIY the cruise ? There would be plenty of Hilux owners around who would probably be interested in this. Hilux SR Diesel manual isnt available with factory cruise at all, this would be a nice addition rather than the fairly average looking aftermarket cruise most end up with.

        You are right Speedcomm, the interesting part is that they are using a genuine Toyota part which is the same part that available in Prado - Land Cruiser and total cost for modification is under 70 Australian Dollars (include the parts). I bought my Prado 2nd hand so I can't choose much and mine one doesn't come with cruise control (TX don't have cruise control while TZ have this option). However, in Fortuner that sold in Thailand doesn't have Cruise Option fitted at all (I don't know about those sold in other countries).

        So what you guys opinion? Will it be possible to DIY our lovely Prado to have this option?
