Cruise Control Installation??

Is it possible to install cruise control on an 8 that never had it before? Any ideas on how much it would cost??

It was done before. I remember there was a German guy who got all the parts, installed them and the cruise control worked fine, then a Mazda computer update disabled the system for good. So just be careful, it may not be possible anymore due to the PCM.

I have the AP and I flashed it already so I wonder if that will be OK with CC? The main thing I need to know is how much it might cost?

As long as you know what to do with the AP (how to enable the cruise control), that might work.
No idea about the price of the parts. Try to ask Paul at Mazmart to get an idea how much it will cost.
