    Are the cruise buttons from a 2021-2022 the same part number as a 2019?
    I´m not sure if it is the same part number? I try it with an rotary potentiometer too and check if it another resitor to activate it.


    Greetings from Bavaria

    Well, mine has cruise control as standard, but I hardly use it. I didn't want to buy the automatic transmission model either. Maybe because I'm too old, but I prefer to change the gears myself, and regulate the speed myself. Some of the company's cars are automatic and it is true that they are comfortable to drive, but I think you lose sensations. Romantic that one is.

    Hey Pablo - If I drive 5 feet, I use the cruise control for at least 4 feet of it.

    You lose sensations from all the tucking.

    Stopped by the dealer today in Kanata - Donnelly Mits.
    The service manager (guessing by his age and the way he spoke) said that "Mitsubishi locks out any programming of the ECU for cruise on the base model Mirage".
    My guess is, this ain't the first time he's been asked about it for the 2021 base models and newer.
    The search for info continues. The shop that installed my audio system said they'd be able to install the Deox kit if I brought them the parts needed, since he doesn't have a listing from Rostra. But, now I'm not sure if the programming can be done............

    My wife had Rostra CC installed on her 2017 G4 ES CVT Mirage by an audio shop. If you live in a flat area its fine, otherwise it's terribly jarring and no where near as smooth as the OEM CC in my 2021 ES CVT.

    If you have bluetooth controls then there's a good chance you have all the wiring there already to just plug in the oem switches. All of our older es-plus models came like that.
    Don't believe anything the dealer tells you. Many don't know wtf they're talking about.

    I was trying to be optimistic.

    Installed the switch today - wiring was already there behind the blank switch panel. Now, it looks like all that's needed is the ECU to be told what to do.
