[DML] cruise via Re: Diagnostic plug

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming its electrical output matches whatever the cruise control 
wants to see, you **might** get away with it on a manual transmission 
car. That's a big "if".

In an automatic, the normal slip of the converter would cause 
unstable speed control going up and down moderate slopes, and if you 
start climbing a hill and the transmission downshifts, be prepared to 
scrape your nose off the steering wheel as the cruise control slows 
the engine down - a lot. 

Overall, nice idea but probably not practical.
