The present invention is directed to a wireless cruise control apparatus and control system therefore, comprising a transmitter, a receiver and interface circuitry. The transmitter may be a small battery powered device which releasably attaches to a steering wheel or other portion of an automobile providing the driver with an easily accessible control panel for the automobile's cruise control. By depressing the appropriate command button the transmitter then broadcasts through air, such as by radio frequency transmission, the desired action to be taken which is then received by the receiver. Upon reception the radio frequency transmission is decoded in order to interpret the driver's desired command which is then implemented through the driver circuitry which supplies the appropriate control signals to the cruise control system. The apparatus is programmable for various cruise control systems so as to be usable with any type of speed control system, and includes safety measures to prevent unintended operation of the system.
