Value Leader Cruise Control

[Matty]

Hi I've found a steering wheel and buttons to add cruise to my value leader, what next? Where do I connect the wires from the buttons to? Anyone who has done this before?

Re: Value Leader Cruise Control

All the wires would connect to the BCM (Body control module) You would need to unplug one of the large connectors and add multiple pins to it and wire your cruise control switch to those.

Then there's no telling the BCM would recognize the signals and the cruise control would just work. It could then need additional programming to make it work. And not many people or dealers do BCM flashes for cheap.

Alternatively you can get an aftermarket cruise control kit that fits the G6.

How does the aftermarket connect to the BCM?

Here's a video of one companies method:

The kits they sell seem over priced though compared to what I've found on amazon.

Re: Value Leader Cruise Control

I've seen that video. That video only talks about one wire. If a person knew nothing else they would assume from this video that the whole installation only consists of one wire. I haven't done it yet but it seems like there's got to be more than that. I guess what I'm interested in is "the rest of the story." Sigh.

I agree, for a company that does aftermarket products they're instruction video is very lacking.
I went to their website and looked up the product they advertise to work for our vehicles:

Towards the bottom it shows installation instructions, Here's the PDF to that, looks like they go over the other connections later in the instructions:

Re: Value Leader Cruise Control

Do you have a 3 or 4 spoke steering wheel?

The 3 spoke has the controls on the left. The 4 spoke was either all on the left if you had radio controls, or left and right if you just had cruise.

Re: Value Leader Cruise Control

This should also help. It is about Radio Controls and the 3 spoke wheel, but you can get the idea and the pictures help.
