The Cruise Commander M is a totally different product and is specifically made to directly replace the DCDR or DCDR-S motor driver board.  The assumption with the CCM is you have a working TMCC installation, including the R2LC.

 

The Cruise Commander is a complete upgrade for a bare locomotive with DC motors.

I think since it is RS5.0 that it might be an R4LC and not an R2LC. But I could be wrong.

The CCM doesn't care if it's an R2LC or an R4LC, it just receives the basic PWM signals and the TMCC command stream on the added wire to the TMCC board.  In truth, the Cruise Commander (not the M model) now ships with the R4LC board, but it still has the C08 firmware loaded, I have one of those on the bench right now.
