Perhaps some explanation on this....

The functions are not <i>incorporated</i> in the cruise control stalk; emcs functions by basically passively polling the cruise control signal in the ECU. That way, emcs is completely NON-INVASIVE to the functionality of the cruise control features in DBW cars. It does not physically nor electrically intercept them, so there are no changes whatsoever to the information or signal that the cruise control switches generate.
