For the money, the Audiovox is hard to beat. It is well made, relatively easy to install and is very responsive. The only [minor] downside that I have found with mine is that, once you have set the unit to a speed then and hit the brakes [for whatever reason] you cannot reset it to a different speed without first turning the system OFF then back ON. Factory systems allow you to accelerate to a new speed, then SET the unit at that new speed; the Audiovox doesn't work that way, apparently.But, that is a very little inconvenience for a well operating system that is only $100.
P.S. I installed my control head on the 'topside' of the driver's rock/mud shield mounted below the footwell. That keeps it protected and out of view; and the atuator cable is plenty long enough to reach the carb linkage. It's a very clean arrangement and most folks don't even know the difference (even car show judges).

i ave had a couple of them we modified for use on a motorcycle and they worked very very well. I was thinking of getting one for my 72 as they are easy to install-especially after installing on a bike. I have never had the issue of having to shut it off before resetting. They do some strange things on occasion

Well I agree that is the one I had picked out. Only trouble is it has been discontinued and is out of production. I may find one but from what I have read no longer any parts for this model. I think the new replacement is electronic audiovox 250-1316. Dave

I think that you can still get them from a company named murph's kits. He sell s things for Kawasaki motorcycle primarily. He has sold a bunchof the Audivox as they are easy to put on motorcycles. If there are some to be had he will have them. I know it seems odd to go to a cycle site to get these, but I bought two from him and he is excellent to deal with and has a good rep with the Kawasaki Concours forum people.
