How hard is it to install cruise control into a 99 Cherokee that doesn't have it? I'd like to use a steering wheel from another Cherokee that had cruise control if possible.

 

Should be easy so long as you grab all of the pieces from the donor XJ. Since you're planning on getting the steering column, too. It should be super easy. I've had my steering column apart before. That sucks!! and the CC wire runs right down the middle of it with the wires for all the other switches on the steering column stalks.

 

I installed Audiovox CCS-100 Cruise Control Kit on my 2000 XJ a few months ago. It's working great. The thread for that install can be read here.

 

How long did this take to install? Did you need to tap into the factory harness? Do you need anything in addition to the CCS-100?

Thanks

 

I took time installing the cruise control so spent a weekend but if worked through quickly and all goes well it can probably be installed in half a day.

You have to tap into brake and ignition harness under dash if I remember correctly. Under hood, you can pick-off VSS and RPM signal as seen in the pic posted in my earlier post from last year.

Other than buying rubber boot and a tube of silicone compound to fill the firewall hole used to thread wires for the cruise control, I don't recall buying any other supply. I think wire connection adapters were provided in the kit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have some more pics and can dig out more details if you need them but FYI, my responses will be slow.
