[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1391918, member: 8054"] Unless someone is mechanically inclined, the McCruise sounds likes the way to go because all the design work is done and there's extensive instructions. I'm an aircraft mechanic and have spent a lifetime working on and modifying all sorts of mechanical/electrical things, so installing the vacume Audiovox on my 07 wasn't a big deal. It still took a lot of time due to having to source and build parts and then doing the actual install. The cruise has had some failures over the years that required troubleshooting to figure out why it no longer worked. After the first failure, I found a slight voltage on the brake circuit and had to install a relay to ensure the brake input to the AVCC was 0 volts until the brakes were applied. Then it stopped working again years later and this time I'm not sure what fixed it because I did a couple things to it - opened up the servo and lightly lubed seals and actuated parts and also changed the switch position of one of the setting switches. Been working fine again. If you're paying a shop to fix it, the costs would run up quickly but my labor is free. ;) [/QUOTE]
