Default Aftermarket cruise control

Anyone know where to get aftermarket cruise control from and likely cost?

Was it an option for your model??? ( Pig WRX I am guessing )

The one on my Pig STI is the best cruise I have ever had as far as keeping a stable speed. Every other one has been a bit like a rubber band. Think it is done direct through the ECU ( could be wrong though ) would be the best way if it is.

If it was an option check with subaru cos it will be a much neater install if they can do it.

I've got an aftermarket one I took out of a MY00, comes with stalk, sphere & the control box but you'll need to find the wiring diagram for it $50.

Does the Stock WRX have Drive-by-Wire?

I know the PIG STI use Drive-By-Wire that might help with the excellent Cruise Control

Yea guessing that would be how it works so well.

If there is a factory available system I would think that would be the best way to go. If the WRX is drive by wire like the STI then it might be the only non bodgy to make it work well.
