    Most autos have a separate lite for cruise control ON, and cruise control ENGAGED - I notice the Taco doesn't. Would be nice to have it come on solid when ON and flash when ENGAGED - anyone have any ideas about how to do this??

    Yes it does, down below the speedo it states "cruise" sounds like your light is out.

    my accord has both lights. Not that I care. But what is the advantage of a system that tells you cruise is on?

    Not that it really matters but my Avalanche only had a light that said CRUISE.
