I'm really keen on the the basic auto Jazz, but I did want cruise control.

Have any of you had any experience with after-market cruise control on the Jazz? I understand that they are made and distributed here but I'd be interested in hearing about their experiences from those that have had one fitted.

but our new jazz are throttle drive by wire.. soo it wouldnt be easy to find one.

3 years ago I installed a Auscruise cruise control to my 2003 manual VTi Jazz - best thing I ever did to it. www.autron.com.au I also took the optional 3 memory switch - it holds the memories even when you switch the car off - so I have them set at 60, 80 & 100. Can easily recommend.

I just noticed on Cobra website, that they have an End of Financial Year Sale, which includes cruise controls.

Looks great, mate. I will ask them see they can fit on new jazz or not. cheers

I'm pretty sure the new Jazz has fly-by-wire throttle, so it's be a different system to mine. However Auscruise do fly-by-wire cruise controls too, so they may well have one for the new Jazz. Good luck!
