Having fitted the Kenwood DNX 7220 and been thrilled with the result, I needed another project - yet CRUISE!
Now the NC is all fly-by-wire and cambus enabled so it is a bugger to fit yourself however with some freindly help from an auto electrition it took 6 hours! This included making up a moulding to mount the control stalk exacly where I wanted it to be under the indicator stalk. It is great!
click to see and this looks as if it is OE.
Sounds good - must be handy for long distance motorway stuff (although not really what an MX5 is built for…)
Yeah. I love it in my vectra on the motorway (just about all I love about it LOL)
Are you running our of gadgets to fit? Or are you setting it to 80mph then keeping it on going round the corners [6]
Originally I fitted the unit because we do a lot of trouing in CWE and in my S6 I can get around 24mpg at 150k/hr on the autoroutes. So, it seemed a good idea a the time to fit one to MAD. Curiously enough it sets at 60 mph but can be clicked down in incriments of 2 mph as low as 40 mph.
Anyhow setting it at 80 mph, switching off the TC totally then doing the next roundabout using the steering wheel only is NOT to be recommended!!

Clive,
What did it end up costing you to install the Cruise Control?
It is something I am used to with my Golf and I would love to have it on the MX5. Whilst I know it is sacreligious to do so, I do find it very useful when on the daily commute to work each day, not to mention improving fuel economy by 10-20%
It’s kind of like getting the best of both worlds really 
I’d heard that the new Facelift MK3 will have Cruise Control, and I wonder how they are doing this? Anyone know?
Perhaps they will have a set of buttons that will go into the steering wheel, the opposite side to the stero controls… That would make a neat job of it…
Regards
Steve
Hi Steve - the system installed was £450 which I thought was a good price considering that it taps into the CAMBus system of the car and contols the speed elctronically. It certainly gives an extra 5mph on a motorway run as you are not constantly usng the power and the gears. I have a custom stalk that looks OEM by the indicator stalk. The new car will have it on the steering wheel.
Kind regards
CLIVE
Thanks Clive,
Certanily looking forwards to getting this little Add-on for my Niseko…

Did I post the pics and the details of the manufacturer Steve?

Oh, and, I hope, finally, I have had Mazda fit the reversing parking sensors! Looking good now.
Here you go, retrieved it: http://www.motormods.co.uk/subproduct.asp?id=234020
Thanks Clive and Clix, I saw the stalk on the postings, and the website…
Think I will wait just a little longer to see what the official Mazda version looks like, so I can try and get it integrated into the steering wheel… That woudl be a huge bonus…
Regards
Steve
The pics in the brochure show the cruise control buttons on the RH spoke of the steering wheel.
