Haha awesome to hear man! Glad to help! I had the same problem, but hands don’t help the small little plugs I had to use a flatty screwdriver to get the damn thing off in the first place
Robert Rayner ahh mate it’s a dream to drive now on longer stretches, even just maintaining constant cruising speed on the hwy. should have done it years ago!!
Bradesss Makes long stints on the highway much better hey. Plus it's easier to keep ya fuel consumption reasonably steady. I read your build thread a while ago - good set up with your rig mate. Added anything else besides the cruise? I'm in the beginnings of building a roof console atm
Robert Rayner yeah I’ve done a few things actually. I haven’t been on the forum in yonks! Can’t even remember what I would have updated since last time.. I picked up a Kaymar rear bar, upgraded my stereo to the VMS Offroad maps unit, added 2” extended shackles to my rear springs to counter the sag from the weight in the back... solar panel installed on the roof rack running full time through some c-tek dcdc units and I added two gauges to the pillar down the windscreen. I should do a full walk through video of the cruiser if you’d be interested..
Awesome installation documentry! Thank you. Installed my new cruise control in 60mins...following your step by step instructions. Better than the supplier’s paper instructions. Nice one mate. Hey, is that a VMS stereo/GPS system I saw in your head unit? I’m looking at one myself. Thanks again...
Cheers Justin! Glad the video helped you out! That’s awesome. One of my favorite mods for sure! YES good spotting, it’s the VMS in dash unit. I would recommend steering clear of all VMS in dash units. It’s the worst head-unit I’ve ever owned. There is zero after sales support, the unit freezes, the 4wd maps hardly load, it’s glitchy and I, among many others aren’t able to update our maps even with free updates available.. it just doesn’t work. If I was upgrading again.. I would get one of the new Kenwood units with either Apple CarPlay or the Android equivalent and pay the $150 for the HEMA maps app on my phone 👍
Still one of the best mods I’ve done. Just makes sitting on 110km/h so much easier and without the worry of speeding or fluctuations up/down in speed. It has also really helped with fuel economy surprisingly! No issues so far, it turns on and connects and cancels every time, so I’m still very happy!
Bradesss . Cool, to sit on 110kmh is one of the reasons why I now want one. Just been done speeding twice in a week. 116 both times in a 110. 🤬. I didn’t mean to do it, I’m no hoon. Just a bit careless.
retry tobuy ahh ya kidding! That sucks, they usually don’t worry unless you’re over 7km over the limit, must have needed the quota for the week 😂. Bugga mate, the cruise would have paid for itself already 😑
Oh no! Nar I didn’t have any codes at all, have you found a solution yet? What year and model is your cruiser? I wonder if it’s a bad connection between the pedal and the original wires. I would be unplugging them and replugging them as a first step of trouble shooting. Does it drive normally? Or won’t let you drive at all?
@@4wdAdventure 2012 76 series too. It was really weird, code popped up straight after fitting but after parking up for a couple of hours and starting again it was gone. Hasn't appeared again yet but I think you might be right. Thanks for your video, helped heaps with the airbag removal.
Ahh yup, that’s more understandable then. Hopefully it just threw a code when it realized you unplugged the wires to the pedal (which can happen if you don’t dissconnect the battery while installing); then refreshed itself after turning off and on again. From what you’ve said I would like to think it’s a once off and shouldn’t have any dramas from here on! Keep me posted!
Great tutorial, thanks mate. How is it performing for you? Any issues? It's the only downfall to my 79 series, would be rapt if this item is flawless, cheers
This video was really helpful, thanks for making and sharing it.
Cheers Matt
Top video mate, had it done in 3 hrs thanks to your vid and it works a treat. Hardest part was the clutch plug with tree stumps for fingers.
Haha awesome to hear man! Glad to help! I had the same problem, but hands don’t help the small little plugs I had to use a flatty screwdriver to get the damn thing off in the first place
Brilliant video, I installed mine today and your video was a huge help, cheers. 😊
Thanks for the feedback mate! Kindly appreciated, glad it helped!
Thanks mate, this was very helpful, just installed mine , I forgot how good cruise control was 🤠👍👍
Legend! Thanks mate, glad it helped! How gooooood is it on the long haul!
@@4wdAdventure find out this weekend 👍👍🤠
I found mine to be a pretty easy install. Great bits of kit too, so much better with cruise control.

Bradesss that's the go. Yeah for sure, always keen to see how other people have done their cruisers

Thanks...appreciate the heads up...scratch that from my list! Will stick with standard stero and install separate gps unit...thanks again HNY...
Great video mate, thank you, great help.
Cheers mate!
I’d be handballing that straight to my mechanic! Lol.
retry tobuy haha yeah that was the plan for me too, but I started with the plug and play harnesses and just ended up fitting the whole thing myself
Bradesss.
6 months on, hows it going? I may get one very soon. Cheers.

Did you now how to fix for fj manual gear some fj you can fix it work but some you have to added some wire
Hey mate just installed mine and it’s thrown an engine code for throttle control sensor, did yours do this?

Question… how is the switch powered? It just connects to the transmission dongle and nothing else… is it battery powered? Or am I missing something?
It’s not something I’ve ever had to change, but would 100% be a battery in there, it should last years!
Hi
How did you connect both the idrive and cruise control?
They both piggy-back off each other on top of the accelerator pedal
Great tutorial, thanks mate. How is it performing for you? Any issues? It's the only downfall to my 79 series, would be rapt if this item is flawless, cheers
It’s perfect! Makes driving long distance so much more pleasant! Hard to drive without it now haha
DISCONNECT the Battery!
Any problem with the unit since fitting it?
Hey mate! No issues what so ever. One of the best mods I’ve done to the cruiser.
Hey man, made it look easy! Which model number kit was this?
paddy217125 ahh cheers mate; it’s the TY07O. Got it off eBay from allfourx4
Do you have an electronic gas pedal?
Yes. All new landcruisers for the last 10 years if not longer have electronic accelerator pedals
Can you still use the pedal assist ?
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by pedal assist? What model do you have?
@@4wdAdventure i am talking about the sprint booster i got a 2022 71 series land cruiser i just got it in Saudi Arabia
@@4wdAdventure kinda like 2:03 where it adjust the throttle sensitivity like eco sport sport+ thank you
Sorry I’m not familiar with that - as long as the piggy-back plug is still connected through the pedal it should work.
Need link payment for this if possible plz
