The autron one works with the electronics in the car. The guys also gave me something they call Multi resume, which is another 3 buttons that have preset speeds on it, I have mine on 80, 100, 110. My car has now got 15k on it and I highly recommend this system to anyone.http://www.autron.com.au/newweb/index1024.htmCheers, Frx026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The autron one works with the electronics in the car.Command have produced a "Drive-by-wire" unit for (the XR5) for some months now, and can only be fitted by authorized command "DBW" installers.So in other words the Command unit is not dodgy, it seems it is the company that installed it. The command unit is excellent if set-up properly, like any aftermarket cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controls are nice and discreet too.They fit around the hub of the steering wheel. (see pic) - its on the bottom right of the centre of the wheel, a black strip of 3 buttonsThe dealership and a local supplier both quoted $950 installed, although through general haggle over the total car price, they threw it into the deal.

Nice finish and work very well with flash turned ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
