I recently purchased a McCruise Cruise Control for my 2005 ST1300. A friend mentioned a post about using a Goldwing Handlebar Control Unit on the ST. Easier to access than the unit that comes with the McCruise unit. Any information about this subject would be appreciated.
Can you use a Goldwing Control Unit for Cruise Conrtol on ST1300?

If you are interested in installing a back-lit, Gold Wing switch to control the Audiovox cruise control, this may be helpful. The Excel spreadsheet contains the wiring harness color codes and operation for the ST, Gold Wing switch, and Audiovox. The ST colors are applicable for the 2004 ABS...
You can also use a police switch to control the cruse.
They make one for the ST OEM?

Honda has one for the ST1300P the Police version. That switch pod is available separately and a few members here have adapted it to their non-P STs.
You can find them on Feebay occasionally. You also need the police handle bars as they are a tad longer to accommodate the wider switch assembly. I added one because I can turn my headlights off when entering the gate at work.
I have a ST1100 that uses a Goldwing 1500 Handlebar Control Unit for the throttle, cruise control, and kill switch. It's a nice setup.
Hey @NoShoes , we don't know each other well enough yet. so I don't know how you would approach this on your own, but please procure the proper connectors, terminals and crimper to plug whatever control pod you go with into the OEM 1300's harness and that of the MC Cruise.
They're inexpensive, or maybe, were inexpensive, ready available, make OEM reliability connections and most of all, don't molest your bikes wiring harness.

Yes, it can be done. You will just have to adapt the wires from the MC Cruise to the Gold Wing Wires. Mellow posted a good article on the GW switch. Here is the one that I used when I adapted the switches to a Rostra CC unit. I used a back lit switch module, so things were a little different then in the main article. More than likely the wire colors will be different. I just hooked up a 6V battery and tested each wire to find the switch that went to it. Then I just hooked them up to the function of the CC unit.

Yes you just switch a couple of wires and away you go. Switch is about $110 and plugs in where you take the old switch plug out of.
