Will the Audiovox CCS-100 electronic cruise control work with LED brake lights?

0

YES. However, if you have ONLY LEDs for your brake lights, it will be necessary to add a SPDT relay to the circuit between the brake light switch and the cruise servo. The cruise is grounded through the brake light bulb. This ground is broken when the brake is applied (bulb lights) and this is what cancels the cruise. Since current will only flow one way through an LED, no ground is seen by the servo and the unit will not work. The relay will bypass the brake light, providing ground to the servo for normal operation, but will cause the ground circuit to open when the brake is applied, thereby canceling the cruise. If you have a combination of incandescent bulbs and LEDs in the brake lamp circuit, a relay should not be needed but can still be used if desired. Q: I dont want the cruise to look like it was tacked on. Can the units be hidden? A: YES (in most cases). Depending on your application and available space on the motorcycle, it is usually possible to hide the servo unit and vacuum
