Welcome to site Smiley

Omega B facelift, no such thing as Omega C.

For cruise you need the new stalk (4 wire one) and the feature enabled in the ECU via a Tech2 device...

Difficult to see if that is 4 wire one.  Bear in mind, only £30 + VAT from dealer, and 2nd hand ones tend not to last too long (problems with full beam coming on unexpectedly).

As for enabling, you need a real Tech2 like my one, not a cheapo lead one...

cruise stalk £31.33 + vat from Vaux, might we worth getting one brand new ebay ones can be suspect.

Real Tech2 needed, has to be enabled by dealer or member here who has real tech2, whats your location?

I enabled cruise on my 2.2, best mod I have ever done....  Thumbs Up!

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Price quoted was Trade Club...

£34.80 + Vat retail....

£31.33 + Vat Trade Club....

Your looking at £45+ vat just to plug in Tech2 at a dealer, however it may be worth going around the back and having a word with the Vx guys round the back.... maybe 'donate' to their favourite beer fund  Wink

Not TC item, so cheaper is std trade price.

SO they've gone up in price, they were £29 trade, £31 retail (+VAT)
