They do make them. This shows up to 2011 so you may want to check for newer models see they also have one for the Genesis. I thought it was standard on the Gen? I had a CC on a Chevy years ago and it worked as well as the factory, but, times have changed so I can't vouch for…

I am seriously looking at the new Accents and currently use cruise control every day because on our country roads the sheriffs patrol heavily (broad shoulder roads, good pavement, 55 - 65 MPH speed limit).

Problem is that the cruise comes with a package that costs $1200 and includes lots of gingerbread. My wife wants me to look into after market cruise control but I'd be concerned that it would not be as reliable/safe and could mess something up on the car - possibly impact the warranty (if it is even available)

I wish I could just get manual crank windows and a manual transmission (if my wife would learn how to drive standard shift) but get cruise, AC, and good radio, etc.

Anyone have experience with after market stuff like that?

The $1200 package is not all that bag. Sure, it is a money make for Hyundai, but you go get rear disc brakes, Bluetooth, larger tires in the deal. You may get to really like those goodies after using them a while.
