Does this happen to you? (Cruise Control issue...)

It's basically a consistent vibration in the wheel...nothing wild or anything that pulls the car in one direction or another, mostly just a consistent vibration that is noticed...

The "RF" Switch can be installed on several vehicles, but is not recommended for every vehicle. http://www.rostra.com/cruise-control.htm
Rostra does not recommend the use of the RF switch for Scion cruise controls.

All I've said is that I have the RF switch with no problems and it doesn't get in my way. I am 6'2" and the stalk would have been an issue with me, so I chose the RF.
The allscion.com site says that Rostra doesn't recommend the RF switch, but I can't find anything on the Rostra site that says specifically not to use the RF switch.
I still don't know why it would not be recommended, nor do I really care. I have a ton of mod's done to my car that would not be recommended, but I still have done them.
I just want other people to know that the RF switch has worked for me.

I'm 6'3" and the stalk isn't an issue. You just have to adjust it to suit your needs.
As far as the setting itself at a higher speed... Mine is 2.5 years old and I've never had this issue. Sounds like it may need to be adjusted/ re-calibrated. Or the cable may be outta wack or something. Good luck with getting it straightened out!
So I took the car to the shop today and they looked at the wheels...
There was a lot of space and they said that the standard hub rings wouldn't even fill the space so they have to keep the car for a day and do some trial and error with some different kits from American Racing that are designed for this very thing...
So hopefully that will do the trick...

If you were running aftermarket wheels without hubcentric rings that would account for the wheels not feeling balanced. You might want to also have them rebalanced just to make sure. My first set was bought online and weren't balanced right when I first got em.
Ditto for me. Cruise is fine unless I see hills. No shake at 80+MPH.

No shimmy or shakes on mine at 80mph+. But I don't have Firestone. Mine came factory with Japanese Goodyear Eagle's.
I like the cruise overall but do agree they could have picked a better location for the unit. Something about a turn signal looking stim hanging out in roughly the area the turn signal switch is at bothers me. I can see the possibility that someone goes to drive the car and grabs that thinking it's a turn signal, then yanking it off the column trying to get the turn signal on.
