  1. Could you explain how it would cost a lot in parts? Changing something like this just oblivious to me. Here's the steering wheel I'm looking to get to replace my standard steering wheel with: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/chevrolet/colorado/23376195/2016-year/wt-trim/2-5l-l4-gas-engine/steering-cat/steering-wheel-scat/?part_name=steering-wheel Granted this part is a 2016 and my truck is a 2017. Not sure if that would make a difference, but there's not a lot of parts out for 2017s. Couldn't they just swap it to this steering wheel and flash the BCM? I don't know what all it entails to just add cruise control. Donstar, I'll keep this thread updated. I keep getting no from different sources, but I also got a lot of 'NOs' when I wanted to get Keyless entry/Remote start for my base model WT. GM Care said it can't be done, parts guy at a few dealerships said it couldn't be done, and then I walked over to the GM Service guys and they said "yeah, we can do that, just order the fobs or buy the kit from us" As far as the aftermarket, this is what I'd be buying: http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/250-9613-2015-2017-chevrolet-colorado-cruise-control-auto-transmission/ It doesn't intimidate me, but I just don't want to be cutting/splicing wires in my steering column in my brand new truck. I'm sure it'll work pretty good, but I also don't want to void my electronics warranty if I don't have it.
  2. I am also interested in doing something like this with my base model WT, however mine is a 2017. But I'm also interested in the steering wheel swap to also give me cruise control. I plan to upgrade to the 8" IO5 when I decide to save up and purchase it from gm-navigation.com. That's gonna run me $1400 though, ouch. Hopefully someone can chime in that has successfully done this before. I'm going into the dealership Thursday to get my key fobs programmed and installed finally. I feel so stupid opening a 2017 with a key. Got a great deal on my WT, but God damn, you'd think keyless entry and cruise control would come standard nowadays.
  3. I'm trying to avoid the after market route for now. I'd rather avoid cutting and splicing wires in my steering column. But I'll go that route if there's no absolute way of getting it factory. If anyone has gone the steering wheel swap for cruise control method successfully, or if any dealership service techs have done this before, please let me know.
  4. I'm reaching out to you Silverado/Sierra guys to see if anyone has ever had this done. I recently purchased a 2017 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab WT. Since the trucks are essentially the same besides the size, has anyone successfully added 'Factory OEM' cruise control to their 2014-2017 WT truck? I'm talking about swapping out steering wheels, since the WTs without the 'convenience' package come with a standard steering wheel without any controls/buttons. My idea is to buy a GM OEM steering wheel with cruise control buttons/controls on the steering wheel, installing this new steering wheel in my truck, than flashing/reprogramming whatever it takes to add cruise control to my truck. I'll go aftermarket if I really have to, but cruise control is a MUST HAVE for me. I rushed my purchase and assumed the truck had cruise control when looking at the blinker switch (Set/Clr) but later found out that's to toggle things on the speedometer dash. I got a really good deal on this truck and I really don't want to get rid of it. I can't find a better deal out there for what I paid for this truck, but I really want my cruise control! I'm hoping someone that's worked/or is working the in GM/Chevy Service Department on here can chime in if possible to tell me if this is achievable. Thanks guys.
