B4000 After Market cruise control
Hello,
I have a 2010 B4000 4x4 manual shift. Anyone installed an after market cruise control unit? Please advise and recommend. Any assistance type instructions would be appreciated too. Thanks |
Most cars are already wired for cruise nowadays. It should be an easy install though I don't know what kit you have. Cutting a hole in the column cover will probably be the hardest part.

Very confusing. I called the Rostra company and they would not/could not answer my question of which but told me to talk with a retailer????!!!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmm, not very confidence building......................:confused: |
I installed a Rostra aftermarket cruise control into my 2004 5-speed 4-cylinder Frontier a year ago. I also have an earlier kit (Audiovox name, precursor to Rostra) in my 1988 Mazda B2200. Both work great, the newer kit uses electronics instead of engine vacuum. Very good kits, instruction sheets are mediocre. Anyway, the Frontier uses an accelerator cable, so it must use the Rostra universal kit. If your 2010 Mazda has an accelerator cable, then that is the kit for you.
If your truck has electronic control for transmitting accelerator pedal travel to the throttle body/computer, then you need the specialized "plug in" kit, same as for 2010 Ford Ranger. I bought my kit from Ebay retailer Kartronix, and they were pretty knowledgeable.

The price listed at their site is about the same as the one's I got from the other two retailers. My 2010 Mazda is said to be a "Ford Ranger"Clone so I guess whatever is recommended for the Ford Ranger (year 2010) is what will fit exactly into mine?????:confused: |

For the cruise control: you may be able to get a dash mount control pad instead of a stalk-mounted one, if you prefer. |
