Default Cruise control (not for a Honda, dont worry)

Alrighty, my girlfriend is going to start going to college this fall about 600 miles away... she has a 2004 Hyundai Accent (I think thats right) with no cruise control.

So I know you can install aftermarket cruise control, I'm just wondering how tough it is, all the parts I need (all I can think of is servo, computer, and switches with appropriate cables)... it's not somthing you'd really want to half-*** so.. I just wanna do it right.

Thanks for any replies.

hmm...i have a civic 98 DX, no cruise, and my mom has a 99LX with cruise...and the only difference is, she has some thing that is connected to the throttle cable...and a switch...now...im not totally sure...but as long as there is a cruise option on a smiliar year accent...you could just take what ever you needed...(if you can find one at a yard) i know the 6th gen civic cruise is really easy to get to..its right on top...and im assuming that the black canister thing has a servo of some sort, that would be holding the throttle at the position...i dont know how complex your system will be so i cant say exactly what you would need.

i hope i helped you out some.
