Amazing how quick and simple it is for this install. You’re so good at explaining and showing the details. Babies! Yay! So cute and itty biddie. My favorite has racing stripes!
Wow that’s amazing! Similar to my experience with my 2020 Tacoma SR/SX AccessCab that didn’t come with cargo lights or tailgate locker. I purchased the OEM harness for the tailgate, and run the wiring myself with some assistance from UA-cam videos. Also purchased the lights kit and cabin switch with assistance from some smart people on Tacoma World. As you said, Toyota saves money using similar harnesses on most models. This also gives the dealership opportunities to make more money on upgrades! Great video. Keep up the good work.
OMG!!! That little chick is so adorable! Gotta pass this info on to my oldest brother. He's got a standard (extended cab/king cab I believe) 06' Tacoma. Not sure if he has cruise control and I'm pushing him to do more for himself as far as vehicles go. Thank you for the always great & entertaining info. I think I speak for all of your subscribers by saying that we appreciate you and all of your hard work! Take care & keep being you!
As someone who is always… y’know… ridin’ dirty... cruise control would go a long way toward reducing my anxiety levels on certain trips. I’m gunna try it on my 2015 Tacoma. Thanks for the rad video! 😛
Hey Faye! Thank you especially for the Toyota videos. :) I have a Gen 2 Tacoma and I think that's how I came across your videos here. I love seeing your goofy personality and how you are always laughing through your videos. I hope you are doing ok through the pandemic shutdowns! I'm sending some of your videos to my 17yo daughter who just got her first car so hopefully she'll feel confident doing some of the maintenance herself.
2011 Tacoma 4x4 Regular Cab with Tow Package. I just did this last week! Mine was NOT prewired. But it was pretty easy to run two additional wires from the ECU the Cruise switch. Works great - one of the best upgrades I've done.
@@niccapitan9574 yes, search for rostra cruise install instructions. I’ve been doing some research on my 2013 base auto. 2.7. If you have a manual transmission you will need to add a clutch switch. My 2013 auto wasn’t prewired, so I have to run a wire from 8 pin connector pin 1 (behind steering harness, bottom) to ECU 22 pin 14. And a ground from 8 pin connector (pin 2) to good ground. Also, these vary based on model. V6 connects to different areas. Many are the same, but some do vary, so research is key. Good luck !
Hi! I’m Joe! I’m a car enthusiast too; unemployed due to the pandemic took a job as an apprentice at a car shop; I got an old Ford Ranger 97 V6 that I like very much; I like your show very much too, and the chickens; Plus I like to listen to coyote radio 96.7; bye love ya;
Hi Faye Hadley how are and the family doing hope all is well, I like how you Cruise into your show and toke Control and Drove right into Light of things lol 😅. It's good to see you and keep up the good works 🌹
I didn't know they made a truck edition of manic pixie dream girl. You are the best and I love your vibe. Thanks for the super helpful video. Keep being you! I subscribed.
I have added fog lights with factory switch as well as delay wipers as well right after I purchased this truck new. Finally decided to do cruise control to give me right foot a break on long trips.
I love how base model Toyota’s are still wired for all the features they’re missing. I installed a bunch of SR5 features on my old pickup like a tachometer, radio, a/c with not much difficulty
Great video! I did a similar upgrade to my 2004 Hyundai Tiburon where I added automatic headlights. It was a new headlight switch stalk replacement and adding the light sensor to the top of the dash and it all worked because the wiring was already there. 👍🏻
I've been working on a kwl mod, and I know you're going to love it. I'm in the process of adding stereo controls to my 2005 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner. I got the modified air bag, and the steering wheel control switches (from a Toyota Camry Land Cruiser, 04-07 2006) from Ebay. (I was able to mount the switches to the steering wheel, just like you did with the cruise control !! ) I thought with my Kenwood Echelon 1057XR and the existing
6:19 I did this on my 2006 base Tundra. Pulled cc stalk from a sequia at salvage yard. Took about and hour and cost me $15. Also installed an intermittent wiper control. I believe all Toyota's 2003 and newer are pre wired for this.
Hey Faye, good to see ya excellent topic, surprising at how many things(options) that can be added relatively easily a lot of plug and play. a lot of people wouldn’t think that it was practical or even possible to do so your video will no doubt help people realize these things are possible so great job Faye as usual and the chicks are super cute.🐔🐔🐔👍
Great video. Beware on standard transmissions there is an additional step….install Cruise Control Clutch Switch, that way if the clutch is depressed to shift gears, the cruise control will deactivate. Possible idea for and part 2 video? Nice work.
Cool video, Faye. Looks like a really simple upgrade. Nice to know that some Toyotas have all of the wiring to add accessories like this. Looks like you have some new, baby chicks at home too. Hopefully, we'll get to see them growing up?
I am loving your channel! Today I just picked up a 2nd gen 1995 4runner. It has high mileage and needs some work and I am looking forward to digging into it. Psyching myself up and learning what I can from watching your channel. You are extremely entertaining and talented, fun to learn from! Thanks for all that you do!
Hi Faye. New subscriber. Saw you on Sarah-n-Tuned’s Instagram so came to check out your channel. I can definitely see why you two are friends and why she recommends you! Cheers from Ohio! ~ John 👍
Love it! I was able to find a cruise control steering wheel for a ‘09 CHP Crown Vic I bought. Installed it and went to the Ford dealer to activate it and turn off the dome light ‘blackout’ option with their software.
A true Mechanic You are Faye, WOW!!! You 1nce again are proving My point. Ladies / Men wether construction ,Mechanics, Robotics, ect. Women do perform same as Men. The advantage You have. Is Feminine Touch. Bravo Zulu. As far as thYour UA-cam channel. You are made for this.
When Nixon lowered the national speed limit to 55 mph I added cruise control to my 1974 Dodge Sportsman van using a factory kit which included a replacement turn signal lever, a vacuum device and cables to tap into the speedometer cable, link to the throttle, and add a second switch at the brake. Feeding the wiring through the steering column was the most fun but it looked totally standard when done. Things are sure easier now!!
Whats up, awesome video, great info,, did AGG stop all together, i work in the area where the shop is that the show is filmed, and used too see you ladies cruising in the cars you work on and have not seen you and Bogi in couple months, was always the highlight of my day to see you all, no matter how bad my day was seeing you ladies would always put a smile on my face, keep up the great work, love your videos
Faye, this might not be too helpful, but this works on "Base" Fj Cruisers as well (although base model FJ's are sort of unicorns). I did this on my 2008 FJ Cruiser years ago. It is an almost identical procedure. I sourced all the parts 3rd party back then. Now all the parts can be found on Amazon with ease, both OEM and aftermarket.
Very helpful!! Thanks for the tip, and that's awesome! Yes I found some parts on Amazon but didn't feel like linking 😬 I probably should but I'm always weary of fakes 😨
Just ordered the kit off the ebay link you supplied, crossing my fingers that my 06 access cab 6sp is pre-wired. So far I haven't see any testimonials for this working on a manual so I'm hoping it does! I'll try to remember to update if it works. Thank for the rad video on the install
Hey Faye, so I just found out about your channel and while I am sad that you moved away from Texas, I am happy to hear about your new project (although not sure if you've announced it yet or not). Anyways, hopefully you can come back to Texas in the near future...
Where did this part come from????? Every cruise control small wiring harness I find doesn't come with the ground wire that is completely necessary to connect with the airbag!!!???!!! Thank you for the input.
Perfection as usual..... Did you know on an Chevy HHR if your cruise quits working it is usually blown brake light bulbs in the head runner back hatch?
I had a 2006 HHR for since new, recently sold it with 234k on the clock. New motor and trans at 201k. Never knew that happened with the cruise. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Monday Morning Faye!! What a easy install...... luv my cruise control!! I often wondered why Toyota wouldn’t just go ahead and put the rest of the parts in place with everything being there.... I had been looking at the LED bed light kits that can be ordered for the newer 3rd gen Tacoma’s and was thinking to install them in my 2nd gen ..... maybe you could do a video on it first?? Have a great week!! 🐔🐔
I have done this BUT on a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was fog lights (kinda like your previous video). It’s a base model, everything worked but I still had to take it too a dealership to program it.
You have a great smile in your avatar; we all work on it some times! Though I can't fathom how gleaming I'd be if I both just got a new dream car and a Mythbusters gig with an o.g. member Tori (I imagine Mr. Savage may drop by). She earned every bit of it and don't you feel a bit of a smile being happy for her awesome success?! 😀 Good luck and take care.
Wow Faye had no idea there was such as kit out there. Thanks for the Vid quick and to the point. Glad you're back. Haven't seen vids from you in quite some time. BTW off the subject and maybe you can't say. All Girls Garage are you working on new episodes ? Just wondering. Thanks again !!
Hello Faye. I had the opportunity to buy a cruise control for my Tacoma, but passed it up as I did not want to mess with the airbag. You showed me how si.ple that is....BUT, do you know if there is anything else I would need to do with the third pedal in our Tacoma? Yes, we have a manual transmission. Keep up the great work and we are looking forward to your new show on Motortrend.
Faye, your video on installing a cruise control on a Tacoma is helpful. Have a base model 2013 Tacoma w an auto tranny, 2.7 liter engine but no cruise control. Does this install require running wires through the steering column or adding new microchip? Does the 2013 Tacoma base model come in variants where the install is different? Having some difficulty finding a shop that is willing to do this work. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks 😊
I have a 2013 base model, auto, 4x4 2.7l I added the parts above (they were slightly different) mine wasn’t pre wired, so after researching, I found instructions online. I need to run 2 wires from 8 pin connector (bottom right, steering shroud) 1 wire from pin 1 to ECU behind glove compartment, and another wire from pin 2 to good ground. I plan on doing this in the next week or so, waiting on intermittent wiper switch to come in, and will do it all at the same time. Each model varies as to where they connect on ECU. V6 is different than 4 cyl. Rostra puts out some decent written instructions, and also a couple videos. I’ve also learned from several who have commented on this page and others. Thanks, and good luck !
Haha! One cruise control installed! By the way I am not a mechanic, I just like watching you do your thing because you're so beautiful. I want your poster, Ill find it somehow. Stay cool Faye :D
Wait so every ECU can perform cruise control, but it requires the stalk? Really strange they didn't make it a standard feature. Wonder how much they charged for it. Either way, great quick instructional! Nice name change. We all love Pistons and Pixie Dust, but you're certainly enough of a character to have your own brand. :D
Hey thanks for your video. I have a 2013 Tacoma base model and unfortunately this did not work. I ordered the parts you ordered and it still didn't work. I ordered a clock spring and still didn't work. But I ordered the intermittent wiper switch and it did work. Do you think I should have ordered the cruise control switch for my year Tacoma
I have the 2013 4x4 base auto 2.7. Mine did not work as well. I found there is an 8 pin connector under steering shroud, and there are 2 wires that run from that 8 pin connector, 1 to ecu behind glove compartment, and another to a ground. If it’s a manual transmission, you will need to install a clutch switch as well.
Faye, your videos are so helpful! I have a super basic 2008 Tacoma. It’s new to me but don’t have too much info on it. I just added the cruise control and follows your video. The cruise did not work. No lights, nothing. Is it possible that my truck is so basic the computer isn’t reading that it’s there?
Great video! I have a 2010 Tacoma regular cab base model (it has zero options). Unfortunately, I took the airbag off and the wiring and plug-in isn't there. So...some models aren't prewired for this mod. I'll be purchasing the entire wiring kit for installation.
Scored one for my son’s Tacoma from the junkyard and upgraded his windshield wiper switch with one that has the delay. $35!! Videos are awesome.
AWESOME!!!!!
Confirmed a long held suspicion of the modular wiring harness , Thanks Faye 👏
Gosh, I'd like to know what that was.
That's an easy install, i like it; was missing you, has been a while.
You’re so much fun to listen to, I don’t even realize I’m learning something.
Amazing how quick and simple it is for this install. You’re so good at explaining and showing the details. Babies! Yay! So cute and itty biddie. My favorite has racing stripes!
Yet another amazing video from Faye and her chickens. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Faye, the Monday ray of sunshine! ☀️
This worked for my 2005 Prerunner. I feel like I'm in the 21st century now. Thanks Faye for the how to!!!
Wow that’s amazing! Similar to my experience with my 2020 Tacoma SR/SX AccessCab that didn’t come with cargo lights or tailgate locker.

Good morning everyone! Great Demonstration Faye!
AHHH another Faye video! That was super simple. You are as upbeat as ever (LOVE IT!). And of course, chickens at the end. New arrivals are so cute.
I never even thought about adding cruise control. Great video!
As someone who is always… y’know… ridin’ dirty... cruise control would go a long way toward reducing my anxiety levels on certain trips. I’m gunna try it on my 2015 Tacoma. Thanks for the rad video!
😛
I followed this video to install my aftermarket cruise control and you made it so easy! Thank you, my "base" model isn't so basic anymore
That's so awesome to hear! Glad it helped, thanks for watching!! :))
Awww the little chick sticking it's head out of under it's momma was adorable!!!.
Who doesn't like plug and play upgrades right:) awh the chickens are adorable!
🙂🙂🙂
Yessss she’s back heck yeah we’ve missed you and the chickens , hope everything in Los Angeles was successful! 🚙🐓🐥

Just added cruise to my 2015 super basic tacoma... bought a cheap $15 one, works perfect... thank you for inspiration..
Watched a few of your other videos. I love the intro, "hey youtube! It's Faye". Groovy ma'am for sure!
Keeps that Yoda upgraded. 👍

Awesome video faye, I'm recovering from replacing catalytic converters and Muffler and brake job on my 04 F150 just finished yesterday
2009 double cab long bed 4x4 Tacoma V6 works fine. Very easy install with this tutorial. Got it done without breaking plastic and such.
I have added fog lights with factory switch as well as delay wipers as well right after I purchased this truck new. Finally decided to do cruise control to give me right foot a break on long trips.

I always wondered about the wiring options for the imports. One basic harness makes sense.
Hi Faye good to see you again!!!
that's a nice add on, super quick install. thanks Faye
When Nixon lowered the national speed limit to 55 mph I added cruise control to my 1974 Dodge Sportsman van using a factory kit which included a replacement turn signal lever, a vacuum device and cables to tap into the speedometer cable, link to the throttle, and add a second switch at the brake. Feeding the wiring through the steering column was the most fun but it looked totally standard when done. Things are sure easier now!!

Wait so every ECU can perform cruise control, but it requires the stalk? Really strange they didn't make it a standard feature. Wonder how much they charged for it.

Interesting that the rest of the cruise control is present and all it needs is the controls.

No lights, nothing. Is it possible that my truck is so basic the computer isn’t reading that it’s there?
Great video! I have a 2010 Tacoma regular cab base model (it has zero options). Unfortunately, I took the airbag off and the wiring and plug-in isn't there. So...some models aren't prewired for this mod. I'll be purchasing the entire wiring kit for installation.
I have installed many rostra cruises control kits on Toyota vehicles throughout the years.
Hey it's Faye! :)
