I don't know about the Magna system, but why would you bother when you can get an aftermarket one that will definitely work and well. I installed the command cruise control AP500 in my car but with a little key pad you can glue to your dash(or screw it down if you really want) Its fairly easy to do really. However the unit is a little pricey. I picked mine up for around $600 but i think they are normally around $700. Autobarn stocks them.

Indeed I did, & I miss it greatly.
I had mine installed for around the $700-odd mark by Nova Car Systems.

Give them a call. I think mine was a 'Command' type system ? Worked great.

No worries man. Here's a vid of mine in action if you're curious (ignore my husky voice lol)
I just had an auscruise ac4400 fitted to mine, full electric like the command system, but local company. It did work great for a week, but it looks like the actuator has died. Getting fixed by manufacturer now. Was supplied and fitted by autobarn for $680.
Steer clear of vacuum systems!

Whoa jeez ! My one worked fine the whole time I had it. Only thing I noticed was that the range for the wireless controller wasn't great. Turn the wheel 180 (meaning the controller was on the opposite side) & the buttons wouldn't work!

Aesthetically do they look OK, or like a big blob afterthought?

Sounds like we installed the same system dude.
The controller was mounted in my steering wheel too. Not in the way at all.
Worked great.

Its the same system but i have a little key pad that mounts on your dash instead of your steering wheel. This system comes with 4 options for controle pads, one for your shifter, one for your steering wheel, a stalk type(like your indicators) and finally a key pad.

I went to autobahn.
The bloke hadn;t heard of auscruise, and quoted me $900 for a command unit
