Cruise control is on a stalk, not the wheel at all so I fail to understand why anyone would lose that ability to begin with?

I kept mine. One guy made a bracket and bolted it to his steering wheel hub. I traced the wires through the clockspring, did some soldering to the circuit chip, and made switches on my dash.

If I got to do all this I might just forget about cruise control.

The stalk is attached to the steering wheel...look at your steering wheel of your car man! You will have to do custom work to able to have cruise control if you take off the stock steering wheel. Putting the stalk on the steering wheel is a dumb design feature...

Who needs cruise control, it's for lazy people. I driven on 1200 miles trips 1 way and never use cruise control.

This, did it with my civic last summer.
Here's my civics set up for ref.

The red and black buttens on the plastic colum are my Cruise control.
Same concept for the FRS. Just trace some wires and run them to buttens or retro fit the factory cruise control stock onto a DIY bracket.

The guy who lives with injured leg from being deployed damn well appreciates it.
