Re: [DML] Re: Cruise control?

Everyone I know that is using the audiovox unit has never experienced  
the cable coming off the throttle spool.

The cruise control does not pull on the throttle enough to pull the  
cable loose. I had my car on jackstands in 5th gear at 2000rpm and  
this is almost 55mph. I had a friend hit the brakes and let the car  
slow down and then re-engage the cruise at all different rpm's and  
the cruise never pulled hard enough to pull the spool where the  
throttle cable could come loose.
