Audiovox CCS100 Universal Vacuum Cruise Control customer reviews:
|
Works great once installed  
Indeed, apparently very difficult to install. I hired a professional mechanic to install it and it took longer than he had anticipated, plus there was difficulty getting the wiring to stay wired. However the end result is a well-functioning cruise control on my manual transmission 98 Ford F150.
Excellent Cruise COntrol
I installed this cruise control on an 2007 Honda ST1300. It was a little challenging because it was not designed to be installed on a motorcycle but it all fit and worked great. The speed varies maybe 1 MPH. Great product.
cruise control
just like in alot of the reviews, unit works very well but the directions and customer service could be a little better. Installed on a 2000 Nissan Frontier 2.3L w/manual trans. Directions offered NO help what so ever! If you can get the wiring and other specifics figured out then this cruise control will work well!
Good to go
Installed this unit on a Valkyrie motorcycle. No vacuum canister required, as the vacuum from 5 of the 6 cylinders is strong enough for the servo. Audiovox certainly provides enough pieces in the box to handle whatever your mounting requirements are (you don't use them all, so there are lots of extra parts left over). That being said, there's quite a bit of work, including some innovative thinking and some irreversible steps, so I would not recommend installation by someone is isn't mechanically inclined. As for its performance . . . the accuracy is very good to about +/- 2 mph. All in all, I'm very pleased with the system and, most likely, will install one on my other bike, before too long.
71 Impala Cruise Control
I just finished installation on a 1971 Impala, 350 V8 and automatic. While a little intimidating when starting, it seemed that instructions may have originally been written for an car like this, because I had no problem. Perhaps messing with digital controls makes it harder for others, but it was all simple mechanical and electrical connections on a car this old.
I didn't use most of the hardware, just the servo, the control switch and only one magnet required. A little troubling to get to the end of the job and have so much left-over hardware, but they seemed prepared for any eventuality.
Only required the ball chain and a couple of connectors to make throttle connection, it was the easiest part of installation. There is a bracket next to the coil that seems intended to accommodate the servo cable. If you have a Rochester 2bbl carb, it's a simple matter of popping off the snap-on throttle cable, slipping a ring connector at the end of the ball chain onto the carb, then pop the throttle cable back on. About 5 minutes to get that done.
I thought directions were clear enough, except perhaps on dip switch settings. However, help desk had the answers. My biggest difficulty was getting to places under the dashboard that GM in 1971 didn't think a consumer would ever need access. Not everyone needs to install all components (servo, control switch and magnet sensor), so each installation handled separately, which caused a little frustration because installing all three components required bouncing from one instruction sheet to another.
For this type car, it's hard to get it high enough with a jack to get magnet and sensor installed. I got frustrated trying to work in limited space, but fortunately had access to a military auto hobby shop. Once on the lift, had magnet and sensor installed in about 30 minutes.
