Default How to: Wire cruise control buttons with an aftermarket wheel

Thought this may help a few people as it see it being asked a lot.

I lost the cruise control buttons a while ago with the install of an aftermarket steering wheel. A while back I modded and installed some momentary buttons in my engine start panel and wrapped it in carbon. Last friday i spent a ton of time searching (and confirming in the honda manual) and figured out which wires i needed to tap into. Well, i finally did the wiring and now i've got the cruise control functioning again.

Here is now the wiring works, this clip plugs into the clock spring (which i lost with the nrg short hub). It's located right above your ingition.
orange = common (wire this to one terminal of each momentary button)
light green with red stripe = set (wire this to the other terminal of your set button)
light green with black stripe = resume (wire this to the other terminal of your cancel button)

The orange wire also makes contact to the rear of the nrg hub for your horn button

cruise control buttons in the start button panel
I wired the black button as set and the red button as cancel.

Here is how i modded my DCI panel:

First, i removed the dci buttons and hit it with a dremel on the back side to give the fiberglass something to stick to, then i taped up the cluster to fill all the holes with fiberglass. Laid down 2 layers of glass mat and waited for it to dry. Then i just hit it with some light filler, drilled some holes, wrapped it in 3m carbon and mounted and wired the buttons. Then i re-installed the back panel for the DCI button cluster. I picked up the small momentary buttons from radio shack, momentary black for 'set' and red for 'resume'.

Question about this, do you have to have both buttons or can you just wire up the set button?

nice job, although you could have just used the factory audio buttons to do it... "up" for set, "down" for resume... or something.

That'd be a pretty great place for my nitrous switches too. I'd love to have a nice "racey" looking panel for my switches

Good write up

You could just wire up the set button, you don't need to wire them both for it to work

yeah you could have, i'm just not a fan of how that panel looks stock though
