Looking for owner's/installation manual for Audiovox Ultra cruise II, Part Number: 250-1316. Can any one help ?.

Does this kit come with the flat panel dash mount.

Also, Is it possible to just unplug the old CCS-100 and connect the Ultracruise II servo unit in its place using the same harness and dash mount control.

Thanks in advance

Its always better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.

The 250-1316 cruise is the same as the 250-1223 listed on Rostra's website. It doesn't come with a cruise switch. I don't believe the units have interchangable wiring harnesses, but the wire colors/functions are the same.

Thanks for the info Sparky,

I found the installation manual on Rostra website. The issue is, I think the harness connector going into the servo has more number of pins, so the old harness will have to be spliced with a new connector if the useful wires are the same. Just want to confirm before ordering.

The connector on the harness which goes into the dash switch assembly appears to have only four pins, Can the old switch from the CCS-100 be used with this system?, The controls are the same and the only additional wire is for the "Engaged" LED.

Its always better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.

You should be able to use the old switch, but you need to determine if it is an Open or Closed circuit switch to set the DIP switches correctly. This is explained in the install instrcutions.

I'm doing this same thing. I have my old CCS-100 switch (which the instructions for the old unit says is normally Open) on my 1998 Ford Escort ... the power comes on like it's supposed to. I get the right voltages at the right times on the Accessory Power wire, the break hot wire, and the dash light switch. But no ju-ju on setting the cruise.
Haven't gotten past the self diagnostic thing because I can't see the LED from inside the car. Matter of fact, I'm not even sure I've correctly located it. I'm looking where it says to in the instructions and I THINK I know what it is. But until I see it glow amber ... how will I know?    I'm going to need two people for the self-diag. I'm starting to wonder if the VSS signal isn't working. Has anybody successfully used the old CCS-100 with the UltraCruise 250?

Hi,

Finally got hold of the Rostra Global Ultracruise and installed on my 2006 ISUZU Panther 2.5L Turbo diesel last sunday. There was a CCS100 in place before and working quite well actually, but the Ultracruise is a better upgrade and allows you to get rid of all the vaccum lines and the reservoir etc.

The old flat panel Dash switch of open type (green LED) works but the two red and brown leads have to be connected differently

I cut off the 10 pin Servo connector lead about a foot from the connector, rest of the wiring will not be required if your old CCS100 wiring is still intact.

1. The No.1 RED / brown wire connects to the brown wire from the switch (For CCS100 this was connected to ignition power)

2. Voilet connects to cold (negative) side of brake switch as before.

3. Black ground goes to chasis ground.

4. Yellow  wire connects to yellow wire from the switch.

5. Brown ignition wire connects to switched ignition power. ( where the brown wire from switch connected earlier), You can use the red wire on the harness which will lead you into the cabin. This wire is now free because the red from the switch will now be connected to the hot side (positive) of brake.

6.Grey VSS wire connects to the VSS as before or signal generator.

7.Dark green wire connects to green wire from the switch as before.

8. Dark blue Tach signal wire may be grounded or connected as recommended. Make sure to leave the noise filter on the old wire in circuit. I have connected the wire and it seems to be working normally without any trashy signals. (This used to give trouble with the CCS100 and I had it grounded before)

No 9 and 10 wires are optional and may be used as required. 

The 10 programming switches may be set as per your vehicle.

Please note that power to your switch now comes from the hot side of brake switch and is always ON. You will find that after using the cruise the power to the switch has to be manually switched off. The switch LED remains on if left on even if the ignition switch is OFF. This is if you connect as shown on the wiring diagram supplied with the Ultracruise KIT.

I am thinking of exploring the possibility of connecting the red wire from the switch to same place as brown wire from the servo which is the ignition power. This will allow the switch and servo power to be switched off simultaneously when the ignition is turned off.

All the wires were soldered and shrink sleeved at the splice. It may be a good idea to stagger the joints about 1/2 inch if you have extra lead on the old harness.

The installation took about 4 hours, The cuise now works right down to 30 KMPH. I have driven upto 85 KMPH with reasonably good response. I still have to make fine adjustments.

Any comments will be helpfull and greatly appreciated. I am sure there are a lot of you trying the same thing and doing things differently and better, to achieve the same goal.

Warm regards and Merry Christmas,

Bains G.
