John, perhaps I can help. Having just finished installing one which
I bought from someone who purchased it but it was never installed...

Here are 2 sources; Brandon Distributing, where mine was purchased:
Brandon Distributing, Inc. phone (763) 241-4172

Summit racing;Summit Racing ? High Performance Car and Truck Parts l Edelbrock, ACCEL, Moroso, K&N, MSD, Holley & More!

Part numbers needed are: 250-1223 universal kit
250-4325 throttle adapter for Insight
250-1483 wireless control switch that
clips to steering wheel

I also have a lot of installation information. It works well too, welcome
addition...!

I bought mine from this company Honda Insight 2000-2006 Cruise Control Kit
including wireless control and everything you need to install the system. I haven't install mine yet. I paid $279.00 including shipping.

There a thread here, with a modified wire harness how-to that I found
Greatly simplified installation:

John, if unsuccessful, and/or they will not ship to you, I am willing
to be "middle man" if you like. I can buy, you pay me via PayPal, and
I will reship to you. As you see here, the post service here provides
flat-rate shipping, not cheap, but not too bad either:
International Price Calculator Looks like all items should fit
into a "$45 box"...

Just to let you know, they came a pretty big box. Inside there are three different boxes, the biggest one is the 250-1223, 14"x8"x5.25" like a shoe box, then the 250-1483 wireless control 11"x7.5"x2", smallest is the 250-4325 5.5"x4.25"x1.5".

True, mine was the same, but with all the unnecessary boxes/material
chunked, it will all fit in a much smaller box....

I finally received an answer today, and i have now bought the kit from
M&R Electronics / TheCruiseControlStore.com

250-1223
250-1483
250-4325

Looking forward to getting the CC installed, i have had a CC in my recent 3 cars
and it is just so much more relaxing.

Thanks to CycleDoc for his kind offer helping me out, but wont be needed this time.
