Correct cruise control, but an install issue.
This is the cruise control preferred on the promaster forum. My PM didn't come with cruise so I knew I'd eventually install this one.I am not particularly skilled but got it installed in about an hour. Most of it is plugging connector blocks together. This is good because the instructions are insufficient, printed in small type, and photocopied about 50 generations deep.Exceptions:* the power wire taps off the ignition power wire. This is a little fiddly; you have to remove insulation and solder the red wire onto the ignition wire. It's a bit tight and was my least favorite part of the install.* 8 pins need to be inserted into their connector block. They are shipped like this so you can pass them though the hole you drill for the stalk, THEN insert them and make the connection.Mine acted insane when I started the van . Many codes were triggered. RPM was high at 1500, and climbed higher to about 2500rpm when the cruise was turned on. No accellerator. Pressing the brake cause the RPM to plummet and the engine to miss. WTH? The "instructions" had no troubleshooting steps, although some of their other product manuals do.I called Rostra's tech support but they were closed over the weekend. :-( Called them back this morning and got through immediately.The tech immediately said I should cut the black wire that goes from the accelerator to the module, tape off the accel side and ground the end that goes to the module. They sounded confident ("that will fix the issue") so I must not be the first one to report it. Support was a bit gruff, but quick and to the point so I was happy.Cut the wires after work and connected the black wire to a ground -- it worked immediately.It's a good cruise control. I think the instructions should be better, should include troubleshooting info, and if the ground issue with the provided connectors is that common they should consider changing it to a separate ground by default.

A good product but not easy to install
The manual/ installation that came with the unit is not applicable to 2020 and above Ram Promaster. However, a call to Rostra and speak to Brian and he will walk you through it. Excellent tech support.

Works as good as factory!
I was so happy to finally have cruise control in my van as I do a lot of traveling throughout the country. The instructions were ok. I actually watched videos on YouTube to install it. Most of it was just plug-in, only had to do a little soldering on the ignition wire. It works perfectly. Went on an 1800 mile trip and used it most of the way. My knee was very thankful. Definitely recommend if you don't have cruise control and need it.

Rastra after market cruise control
The product works as expected. The instructions are very vague and uninformative as stated by almost all other buyers. I watched a few YouTube videos and they helped a lot. It should have taken around an hour but I spent at least an hour taking a stripped screw out of the steering wheel cowl which I didn't expect. All in all, this product is almost the only out there that is offered for my vehicle and it is highly recommended.

Product works but it fried my radio
The product was easy to install and works works however it fried the radio (hopefully thats all it is) and is costing me several hundred dollars to track down the electrical issue and replace my radio. I followed the instructions perfectly so it wasn't user error.

Easy plug'n'play install except for one wire that must be soldered.
Works perfectly...as if it came with the van as standard equipment.

works great!
Installation was pretty straight forward, even though the instructions leave a bit to be desired. Fortunately, you can learn ANYTHING on youtube! The CC works great! Acceleration and response on my Promaster are probably better than any of my other vehicles with factory cruise.

Works
Installed into my promaster. Took a shop 3hrs to install and cost me around $350. Works great. I keep trying to move it up or down but it is fixed position. It always comes on when I start the van could be a wiring issue. This is a great solution
