Default Retrofit Cruise Control
I have a '04 Cavalier automatic for parts (cruise control, power locks, etc). And I have a '03 manual car which does not have cruise control. I'm wondering what it takes to use parts from first car to install the cruise on second?

Alright, let me rephrase this. Is the ECM of manual no cruise control different from automatic with cruise control?

the ecm has no involvement in the cruise control operation in any way on a cavalier.

the cruise system is a stand alone system using a few switches for system control and operation.
