Anyone think it's even possible to add cruise control to a base 2011 hatchback?

uhmmm.... I don't know, probably not, unless you get factory

Anyone have experience installing the ones that mount on the steering column?

Well the cruise control controls are to be mounted on the steering wheel.

Not my car but you can see the switch and buttons.

So essentially, you gotta replace the steering wheel for the cruise controls.

Yeah, unfortunately kinda cheaped-out on buying the wheel-mounted model.....:facepalm: but I could have sworn I saw one that's essentially a lever that mounts on the underside of the steering column.

Anyone attempt installation of this type?

I highly doubt anyone would do such a complex job. So many factors involved to install this, it ain't worth it.

i agree. it used to be a straightforward job with carbs and cables. probably not anymore, idk

Aight that's cool.

install cruise control

I think it's possible if you're going to mount it to a steering wheel. It will be a lot easier if you're also going to get a cruise control lever

Should of just bought a Versa S with power package man, save yourself the trouble of going through all the work.

I heard somewhere in here that the new Vs might already come pre-wired for cruise control as well as fog lights. Not sure if it's true but mine is the S with power package and it comes with cruise control but it also has the pre-wiring for fogs, so there might be some true facts to it. In other words, try to find out if yours comes pre-wire. You might just need to buy the control and not worry about wiring.

Years ago, my half-brother bought an aftermarket cruise-control through Sears. It may be worth a try.

this company makes a kit for the Versa. Seems pretty straight forward for installation.

My dealership has a company that installs cruise controls etc. come to the dealership. If i remember correctly it was about $450.00. Not sure though. They install it in a day. It's not factory and it doesn't use the factory controls on the steering wheel. It mounts under the wheel on the steering column. Off to the right? It's an after market lever like someone showed before in this thread.

It really isn't a difficult job, since the Versa is drive by wire. Mediocre wiring diagram reading skills are really all thats needed.

Has anyone installed OEM cruise control using the steering wheel controls? I want to go with OEM if possible, I just need to know what parts are needed. I have a 2012 hatchback with power locks and windows. Dealer did not have any on lot with cruise.

 

[ADOversa]

I would like to, I am looking into if I can get the module/steering wheel controls from Nissan or even from a wreckers.

Same question applies to me. I don't think it's possible though unless we do get the packaged hatch instead of the basic.

That package doesnt exist anymore. LOL The 2011 hatch is standard with the power package, except cruise and keyless. Cruise and keyless are now a package for I think $250 for 2012. The 10 and 11 power package incuded everything. The power package for 07-09 didnt include cruise. That was a decent package for the price, I remember, cause I got it. I bought the 09 S sedan, and payed extra for power package, cruise control, and ABS. Nissan made ABS standard for 2010 and up, and cruise was part of the power package.
