Did you think to look in the owner's manual?
It is there, but you have to set it...

Just a clarification, in case I was wrong ;-), I have an 06 Civic Si, and
this feature is, indeed, available on the civic line by following a simple
procedure with the ignition and the door lock switch. It is possible that
it isn't there for an Accord, but that would seem very odd to me...

Can't seem to find it online, I'll try to remember to check it next
time I'm in the car. Not that I want it, but I'm curious. Anybody
want to buy my unused cruise control?

I THOUGHT I'd scoured the 2006 Accord owner's manual front to back for
it and never found it. I'll try again as I'm one of those (perhaps in
the minority) that likes that feature. Then again, as you say, it may
only be on the Civic line. Oh well. Thanks!

LOL.
The procedure is not a very straightforward one. Something like turn the
key to II, push down the lock button for 10 seconds, or something like
that.
As for cruise, I use mine daily. Good for mileage, and keeps me from going
75 on the highway. The Si is just too easy to get going good and
fast... ;-)
