Needs a T2 to "turn it on" I think

If its a mini or prefacelift, it should work straight out the box once you fit:

Actuator unit to multiplug on drivers side strut top.
Working cruise stalk.
4 pin brake switch (not a standard 2 pin).
Clutch switch, if not auto.

Does not need Tec2 to initiate.....   :y

If not working, recheck connectors.  Police vehicle technicians have a habit of, when removing plod kit, simply chopping wires and taping them up out the way....

But it probably will, if its a facelift/fly by wire model (and not the 2.5 CDX I read in your profile...  :-[ )   ;D

Phew!!   :D  Thanks for changing your profile as well - it was the 2.5 CDX that threw me!!   ;D

Did you change the brake switch to a 4 wire one?  If its still a 2 wire, theres your prob.  ;)
