fitting cruise control

[jax]

HI my dad has a subaru 1997 rx sports wagon he has been given a cruise control unit to fit, can anyone please tell me were it fits to the dash and is it easy to do, or does he need to get pro to fit it.
Thanks any help would be appreciated

RX sports wagon? Is it Liberty or Impreza?
If its RX Liberty then it should have one built in...

I know that LX Liberty has connectors ready to install Cruise Control but they dont have it. You will need Cruise Control controller, lever, module from engine bay.

Are you talking about a Subaru cruise control or after market one .

Hi Mike,
one to be fitted now unsure of the make if that makes a difference, it is one my brother pulled off another car. Does it have to be one just for a subura?

What I was trying to find out is if is an aftermaket one , if this is the case you can fit it antwhere that suits you the genuine subaru one would require the steeringwheel boss as well as the cruise control unit and the actuator to go under the bonnet.

Hi mike is there a perticular sensor that it should be connected to and is this on the left hand side of the dash behind the glove box, they have found where it connects to the motor but need to know where it connects to the electrics, sorry if this is not making it easy but we dont live in the same town and dad has no internet at his place so this is second hand questions
Thanks

if there is no factory plug for the cruise , you will need to find the speed sensor wire from the ecu and tap into that for the cruise to get a speed reading.
