My big family car is a 1.3L Honda Jazz(Fit) with the CVT, when I had an after-market universal cruise control fitted it had a problem where it would work but then run out of steam on a hill, I believe the problem was due to the small engine capacity and the constant low revs as a result of the CVT the vacuum reservoir was not being replenished quickly enough so as there was not enough vacuum pressure the cruise control would switch off. The Solution they the installer came up with was a second vacuum reservoir tank, Now my Jazz has 2 reservoir's and the cruise control has never failed me even on big hills. Hope this info helps someone.

I would love to see a group order or something of Super MIDs, I would buy one if I knew how.
