Lexus CT200h sel

[Bullmastiff]

Hi all I’m new to this forum I need some help regarding my Lexus CT200h year 2011 the car is fully loaded apart from not having cruise control which is disappointing. I wanted to add the cruise control stalk I did some researching and was told by many peeps I can do this if I buy an original stalk I now have this but want to fit it I have found images and instructions how to do this, does anyone here know if it will work once it’s been installed ? 

Thanks in advance

Hello.  I am amazed your SE-L hasn't got it.  I don't suppose the stalk has been snapped off by accident has it?  I only ask as if my steering wheel is turned 90 degrees when I get out of the car I hit it with my knee and I always worried about snapping it off.  Do you have the crash protection cut off switch fitted.? You have to look upwards above the pedals

Definitely not snapped off everything still intact. 

Do you know if I can fit the cruise control I did put a photo of it in previous message 

[me140]

Have you taken the steering column shroud off to see if you have somewhere to plug it in?

[Bullmastiff]

Yes I have and there is something to plug it in

when i had my ct sel i had CC retro fitted

disconnect the Battery before starting

unclip the airbag

fasten the stalk in place and plug in

airbag back in

reconnect Battery

thats it

Hi thanks for advice re Battery.

the one I have is the original cc so will that still work? Also if I disconnect Battery and once finished and reconnect do I need to do anything else

 store the radio stations you listen to

It’s a simple plug and play set up.

So are you saying the original cc unit I have will work once fitted as you say plug and play without any other work to be done 

[200h]

yes plug and play

press the button on the end of stalk and you will see the CC emblem illuminated

press the stalk down once when doing 30mph 'ish and the word SET will appear

cruise control is working

The only thing which is missing from CT200 cars without cruise contol is the cruise control switch. All of the software, the throttle servo, the wiring loom is already there. Its simply not worth Lexus time to fit and entirely different set of kit to a car which doesnt have cruise control.. Reactive cruise control isn't the same  situation. I the case of reactive cruise control retro fitting, you need more stuff and I think that the earlier cars  also don't have the necessary wiring loom/ software for the reactive system.

So if I just plug the original cc it should recognise it and all should work? 

I understand I need to disconnect the 12v Battery before carrying out the work?

this is what I have form a previous CT200h please see attached photo

just remove the blanking plate on the side of the steering wheel

insert the switch and fasten in place with 2 screws m5 i think

and put the white plug in the vacant socket in the steering wheel

 

[Bullmastiff]

So I don’t need to take off the air bag from steering wheel ? It’s all done from the blanking plate? And can I get to the m5 screw holes from just removing the blanking plate ?

i really do appreciate your help thanks 

[200h]

you still have to remove the airbag

here is a write up i found

Hi again and happy new year.

i have another question do I need a new trim to replace the blanking trim ? As I can see a big gap around the cc stalk if so is there a part number 

[200h]

here is a parts list i was given years ago for the retro fitting of CC

thanks to microjerry

 

[200h]

if you can measure where the center of the stalk is you should be able to

mark up the old blanking cover and drill a hole in it then on the rear side

place a piece of thin rubber to go around the stalk this will keep the dust

out of the steering wheel like on the original.

[Bullmastiff]

I understand what your saying seems simple but I only get once chance get it wrong then I need an original trim. Do you know where I could get one from or find a part number?

regards
