Oh, ok. I'm thinking the likelihood of it being possible and done is now more like 80-90% before you asked your dealer and proceeded to get it taken care of, I had a <50% guess if it was possible. I can't wait probably as much as you to find out if your dealer can in fact do it. Its one of the small things that I didn't realize I'd miss when I've driven only vehicles in the past equipped with cruise control

i've got the appointment set up for 9am tomorrow. after they get it installed i'll update on whether it worked or not. cross your fingers. i'm hoping it will work. if not, i've wasted a few bucks. lol.
i'll for sure let everyone know how it works once its done tomorrow.

Amazing how cheap something like that is compared to other car parts that are not part of how the car runs (ie the rear cargo cover and floormats)

CRUISE,
is a no go. they tried to install it. the wheel wont accept it, it will need a new SIR cable and wire harness. there are not enough wires to make it work. sorry guys. i'm bummed too....
looks like i'll be getting the after market cruise control now.....

Chalk that up to my long espoused theory: There i only one way to find out.
I know the 2011 Cruze could. I wonder if the same reason the Sonic can not applies to the Cruze? Chevy did change steering wheels across the board for the 2012 model year, and that could have something to do with it.

If it would need a new SIR cable and wire harness, would that solve the issue possibly? Or does the BCM not have enough plugs for what needs to be done?

I'm sure after you spend the $1500 it will work

does anyone know where I can pick up an aftermarket cruise control?
it has to be able to work with the 1.4 liter 6 speed manual transmission

the 1.8 is pretty sweet, the manual mode is pretty useless though, i got the LT 260/month but no cruise control

I disagree, I can pull better mpg in faux manual. I can put it in a higher gear earlier, instead of waiting for the car to decide to shift. Also, fauz manual allows for more fun while driving. I am able to leave rubber and make smoke just like if I had a true manual car. Definetly wish I had been able to get the manny tranny...
