Cruise control for the Mazda MX-5
Nobody buys an MX-5 for motorways, but every MX-5 ends up on one, heading to a track day, a car show or a tour of the Highlands. Roof down, wind noise up, and keeping a light pedal at one position for hours is the only part of the trip that is not fun.
A driver's car on a long transit
Light weight makes the MX-5 lively on a B-road and fidgety at a steady motorway pace. The pedal is sensitive, and it takes real concentration to keep the speed where you want it. Enthusiasts touring Europe or crossing the country for a meet often ask for cruise for exactly this leg of the journey.
Enthusiasts notice everything
An MX-5 owner knows their car intimately. A dangling switch, a hacked loom or a new warning light will be found, and it will spoil the car for them. Anything added has to look and behave as if Mazda put it there.
Kept looking factory
CAN KONTROL CRUISE draws on the MX-5's CAN network, leaving the engine bay without an actuator and nothing bolted near the pedals. Each MX-5 configuration is written in Chorley. Rather not cut a single wire? The inductive connection exists for that. The engineer will talk through which controls suit a cabin this small.

Questions about the Mazda MX-5
- Can it come out again if I sell to a purist?
- Yes, it is a separate unit and can be removed, then reprogrammed for another car at no cost.
- Will the throttle feel different when cruise is off?
- Nothing mechanical sits on the throttle, so with no speed set the MX-5 drives exactly as before.
- Is the RF treated differently from the soft top?
- Say which roof yours has, its age and the engine size, and that MX-5 in particular is checked.
