Adding Cruise Control to 2002 Civic DX Sedan

ivanjunge · 11-05-2009

I'm looking to add cruise control to my girlfriend's 2002 Civic DX Sedan. I may go with an aftermarket kit but it would be cool to add some used parts and do a stock looking setup.

1) Will the standard wiring harness on the DX be able to support the cruise control components or will I need to upgrade to a EX (or similar) model wiring harness?

2) I hear the cruise control ties into a brake stop switch. Is this an additional part that needs to be installed or is it the same switch that's in there for brake lights? Is there wiring in place for the switch already?

I believe these are the parts I'll need:
New Steering wheel that accommodates cruise control switch
Cruise Control Pod (servo motor unit)
ECU from a model that has cruise control
wiring harness?
Brake switch for cruise control
Dash Switch for cruise control

Please check my work. Any and all comments appreciated.

Thanks!

its usually much easier to add aftermarket. im not sure if the dx is wired for cruise, i know its wired for alot of other things that it doesnt come with. for example it has an rpm wire even tho the gauges dont have a tach. youre also gonna need a new throttle body with the cruise lever on it.
