Gentlemen and Ladies too,

In my search for the Rostra Ultracruise II Cruise Control, I first went to
USI Wholesale Distributing, 3746 Comer Ave., Riverside, CA 92507. Their phone
number used to be 1-800-854-4798. The email is/was usimail@earthlink.net the
last time I contacted them. I asked for a list of places that carried the
unit (got a list of about 10) then called and price-shopped. When the smoke
cleared, I got the unit from Auto Air and More in Las Vegas. Their address:

Auto Air & More

4295 W. Tropicana Ave. Las Vegas, NV 89103
Toll Free: (888) 658-3423

The web page for the unit that I got (Universal kit - PACC002) is:

Just checked it and it works! How's that for memory recall on the part of a
fossilized elder?

Can't help you on the price I paid. I think I lost a set of those particular
neurons during my recent heart operation (mini-roto-rooter - no  sabre saw!).
I'm sure that I paid more than $100, less than $200 and close to 35% off the
prevailing retail. You can connect to the Hall sender at the back of the
speedo (need the Hall pickup from a Golf/Jetta instrument cluster). But it
needs to be amplified. I used an ignition amp from a SAAB 900T. You can also
use their magnet drive kit. Still other options with some imagination.

I wired up things to the Vanagon cruise control turn signal switch. Looks
clean.

Of course, at the same time, I got the MFA switches from a Jetta GLi and the
multifunction analyzer (MFA) from the Jetta instrument cluster (includes
clock, mpg meter, oil temp, etc.) and modified the Vanagon clock unit to take
the MFA. Jetta/GTi switch gear (cruise control and MFA) stalks fit just fine.
