    Cool 2008 Cobalt: installing cruise control

    How hard and expensive is it to install cruise control on a 2008 Cobalt?
    I drive all highway miles and I miss this option.

    ^^^^^^^ Did that to my mothers 06 Cobalt. Fun part was finding someone that could understand the directions with a tech2 to turn it on.....

    Poor guy, took him 4 hrs, but he finally got it and only charged $75 to do it. Works great.

    Wouldn't lodging a cinder block against the accelerator pedal be cheaper and a whole heck of a lot more fun?

    On hers' they had to go into the PCM and find the "file" for the cruise and change it from off to on. She picked some local yokle someone recommended to her since he had the right scanner. But he had never done one before. ANd she told me he was determined to figure it out.

    It's all good, it worked and she is happy to have cruise.

    That's not standard on the Cobalt? I'm assuming this is a base model if it is.

    It shouldn't be hard at all, just be prepared to find help if you don't understand it!!

    Does anyone know where in I could get cruise control installed in my Cobalt. I know it would cost a small fortune if I went to the Chevy Dealer-- but in Buffalo, NY does anyone know of any place to go and have it installed??

    You can always get an old Toyota gas pedal...

    Seriously, try D&R Automotive Restylers 716-842-1626. It was an address that is provided from the Cruise Control Store.com site.

    I installed it on my previous 03 2500HD. It was plug and play no programming required, even though the service manager said it could'nt be done.

    Cost me bout 80 bucks on Ebay for the multi-function stalk.
