is it a simple matter of running just a simple 12v and ground lead to the XLT type rear view mirror to make this work? I doubt my SXT has a pre-wired harness sitting at the center of it's roof headliner.
I dont know. Ford could proably tell you I bet the leads are long or can be extended. Check out this site for running wires through headlinner.

Yes, there are 8 screws and two wire harnesses. two about 20 min. in light rain (I was excited) I found it on ebay for $50.00 with shipping. The two draw backs I have encountered are odometer and door light. Odometer, must be reset by ford. and I am told it cost $75.00. I got lucky and found one within two hundred miles difference so I did not worry about the descrepency. Second is the dome light does not work when door is open and no door chime when key is in ingnition but turned off, with door open (some people like this) I think the light and chime might be a programming issue and I plan on taking the truck to Ford to activate the Cruise controll after I get a set of switches installed and I will have them look at it. I will be glad to report back after I am done. The light does not bother me since the dome light switch is easy to reach. I don't miss the chime at all.
Your cruise control doesnt work now? I dont care about the light and the odometer I can change. If the cruise doesnt work I dont want to make the swap.

Check your ac...I plugged the cluster out of a lariat into my stx and everything worked just fine except that the ac didnt work! must be something to do with the climate control in that truck.
