[STi DBC to DBW conversion]

Ok, I have never heard of a wrx with the old cable type cruise control.  I’m not sure if your existing cruise switches are connected to the ecu or to some other seperate black box, but if not you will need to connect them to the ecu.  You also need a brake switch connected to the ecu as well for cruise from memory.  So with those changes you will be able to have cruise control via DBW.

Its an 02 ADM Wrx (South Africa). It does have a black box in the engine bay that the other cable is connected to. Will post an update here with pics once the hardware is connected.

What do you mean by "will the cruise control still be able to utilised in doing this swap" - do you mean your car had factory cruise control with a cable throttle and you want to keep it?

With E-throttle you can certainly have cruise control but you will need the cruise switches wired to the ecu.

Hi Adam, correct. The vehicle currently has cruise control - so two cables to throttle, 1 for cruise and 1 for normal throttle use. If I follow the wiring from the switches on the GD wrx with e throttle then surely i can replicate the same on the LINK ecu?

I wired in my AVCS this way (car didnt come with avcs so first swap was avcs with a newer GD ecu then the link)

Sorry to bring this topic up from the dead but will the cruise control still be able to utilised in doing this swap?

I have a WRX9 G4+ and wanting to do the same conversion.
