There was a guy on here that said he installed one from a 2008 lancer. He has it on his build thread but he never said anything about if he had to do anything different for install
I have it on my car and the only thing that doesn't work is the cruise control, I have an after market radio and you will need something like the maestro idata link to make it work well
Yea. No cruise is a deal breaker. Theoretically, the radio controls would work the same, assuming you have the RF system. You would need the steering wheel, airbag, and clockspring. Depending on where you find it, you might have to buy them separately. I know the steering wheel is around $500 without the airbag.
The real question is how it works. If I'm not mistaken, the cruise control just has a bunch of resistors on the switch and two wires, and the ECU checks the resistance on those two wires. Given that the real estate for wiring in the steering wheel and clockspring is scarce already due to the airbag, I would assume that on the Evo X sttering wheel, it uses the same system but for the cruise, radio controls, paddle shifters, phone control, etc., and has separate resistor values for each, which the eclipse doesn't have the programming for.
Or it could be ass backwards and uses some board on the steering wheel to send the commands.
I'm really curious about the engineering behind it all.
Damn that really sucks. I was looking forward to switching the steering wheels out but not if my cruise control doesn’t work....
Guess I’ll just deal with the stock wheel...
Do you think a tune might be able to help it? Rewrite some software to adjust some new hardware?
