Good morning, wow this set of posts is great. My daughter just bought her first car.. a 2010 cobalt and we would love to get cruise up and running. So far I have found a used steering whieel on ebay, I even went to the dealer and had them enable the cruise. I pulled the steering wheel off and now I see none of the wires for the cruise or radio are there.. bummer. I have not been able to find a donor car yet. Would anyone be willing to sell me a couple micro connectors for the 11 pin sir coil and for the bcm block? I think with those connectors I would be off and running.
Thanks, Chris

When I installed mine I just went to the dealer and they just handed me the connectors and I used 22guage wire from advance and all was cool.

Hi I am going to look at an 05 Cobalt base model today and will most likely be purchasing it. I was wondering about adding factory cruise to an 05 model.
I read the whole thread plus looked through all of the how to guides and didn't see anything listed for the 05 model.
Is it the same process as the 07 and up? Is it possible to add an 07 and up steering wheel? I kinda like that look as opposed to the 05 look.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Just bought a BRAND NEW LEATHER wheel for 95 bucks!
Here's the auction if anyone else wants one.
Chevrolet Cobalt Ebony Leather Steering Wheel OEM NEW | eBay
They're taking best offers but it's a damn good deal already so I paid full price so I didn't lose out over a few bucks. 2 more left.
I'm hoping since I already have cruise that the audio wires will already be in place. I've heard from some that theirs were.

OK, well I guess I will give it a shot sometime. It will most likely be a few months down the road due to money constraints and finding the parts.
If all goes well I will post a How-to for it if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Brad

Everything in the first post along with a new (unknown) set of instructions for the tech2.
They stopped making the cars(with factory cruise) with provisions for audio sometime after 07. For my sake, I hope it wasn't till 09 or 10. My wheel gets here tomorrow so I'll find out then.

On the 1st or second page of this thread are instructions from an HHR forum that shows you how to wire up the volume buttons to work. It's just a connection issue nothing to needed with the tech II. Just wire it up per the how-to and it works right away.

08 1LT with factory cruise needed no wiring for audio. Simple 10 minute swap. Hardest part was releasing the airbag wires bc I couldn't find my needle nose pliers.

well I finally got my cruise control install to work on my 09 LS....I installed exactly what is said in this post...when it came time to do the techII thing I ran into problems...first place I took it to told me my BCM was locked and charged me $120 bucks for informing me that they couldn't do it...Bastards.....so it was a real downer to find this out...I even phoned a dealer and was told I would need to replace the whole BCM and reprogram it...thought they were just blowing smoke...anyway, not giving up I phoned around trying to find someone that knew what to do and I was directed to a mechanic at, of all places, Canadian Tire...lol..I was pretty skeptical but just wanted my cruise to work...this mechanic was very knowlegable with the techII and was done it about 30 mins....had my oil changed and was charged $150 for the whole thing..so the whole thing from start to completed cost me about $350 bucks...I ended up buying the whole steering column from a donor car at the wreckers because they wouldn't just sell me the module off the wheel....charged me $130 for the whole column...so I have all the extra stuff off of the steering column for future use if I need them.
