Is it possible to Add Cruise Control on Toyota Premio 2016 (1.5F-EX Package)

Zakir Khondokar · February 24

Just bought a premio 2016 model 1.5L F-EX package.
I own a toyota esquire and it has cruise control that was built in it.
I was wondering if I can install cruise control on my Premio.
If the answer is yes then how can I install one?
My Car is as same as this picture below:

It would help if you mention where you are from...

But yes...you can retro fit cruise control. Two main paths you can take.

1. Get the actual Toyota parts either brand new (probably expensive) or from a junked car.

2. Get an after-market system (Chinese ones are quite common. Not going to comment on how good they are).

The actual range of parts you will need and the complexity would depend on things like which Toyota Safety Sense variant you have, what type of cruise control you want (Adaptive or Non-adaptive, etc...). You should go to a vehicle electronics and accessories shop that handles these and talk to them.

I am from Bangladesh.
I just want to install cruise control switch. Which is usually situated near steering wheel under indicator stick.
btw What is safety sense?
Also, where can I get wiring diagram? Mechanics here does have the switch but I doubt they know how to install one.

Uhh...okay....but to get the cruise control to work you need to do more than just install the stalk. In most cases the wiring would be there so you can plug in the stalk but you also need to activate the system.

Toyota Safety Sense. It is the integrated safety system in Toyota cars. It would have pre-collision systems, lane keep assist, automatic high beam, etc...the newer the version the more safety equipment it came with. The hitch is with pre-collision systems, configuring a retrospectively installed cruise control can get a bit iffy as it involves automatic braking.

if you don't have anyone who KNOWS how to install it, then I would say you should just stay away from doing it or just wait. You probably can find a wiring diagram online. It is not about just connecting the wires. Like I said before, connecting the switch might be as simple as just plugging it into a socket that is already there (in most cases, the wiring harnesses are the same across all trim levels and models). You need to make sure that all the check boxes are ticked to make sure that all the safety systems and the cruise control itself are working properly and not compromised. That is not going to be found in a wiring diagram. For that you need a service manual from Toyota or someone who actually knows what they are doing. If the mechanics over there have the switch I would have assumed that they have done a few of these installations before (considering the car's popularity), but you would know best.

What is to your advantage is that the Premio is based on a 15+ year old platform and is quite primitive. So, it shouldn't be too complicated (unlike most newer models).

Update:

I have tried to installed the switch but I don’t see any cruise control light on my digital display. But you can see I have cruise control switch 4 pins and about wiring I’m not sure.
How do I check that?

Mechanic said steering wheel type is kinda similar to Toyota Fortuner.

4 pins for cruise control:

Just pluging in the wire may not be enough. Like I said, depending on the version of the safety systems, etc...you might actually have to enable it in the ECU. Also, did you check if there is a relay involved?

You need to look for an electrical diagram for the Premio. Since this is a Japan only model finding the exact one might be a problem.
