Do small garages have tech 2 or is it a main dealer job to get cruise enabled????
-
Some garages **may** have one. Its likely, unless Vauxhall specialists, they won't have the knowhow or the software to do it...
-
Tech-2 is generally main dealer, few smaller garages keep one due to the (very) high purchase cost, but some members here have them and provide a very low-cost Tech-2 service as long as you are happy to travel to them...

Dont mind traveling as long as its not to far.If its going to cost me a tank of fuel and a member fee then its cheeper to go to stealers. :P

most/decent garages have , similar, i.e snap-on modus, bosch kts, which are more than good enough :y

But not all can enable Cruise ::) ::) ::)
I think, IIRCC, the Bosch system we had at the garage I worked in could do everything the Tech 2 can but... It was £4500 for the unit and another £75ish per manufacturer for the software :o :o :o
[edit]TB is quick on the draw tonight! Beat me again :o :o :o[/edit]

And incredibly complicated after you've seen the Tech2 in action!

too many - I'm a fair way south of Birmingham...
-
Dealers around here can charge £35 - £70 to plug in the tech2....
Dickens dealers tend to be lower, Lookers Higher.
There are a few private tech'2 in Chester who may be able to do it cheaper.
Roadrunners in Saltney, and MW Performance both have / had tech2's and were reasonable to use (neither really have a clue what they are doing though).
Its possible my "My Naff Code Reader" can enable cruise, I know it can on some later cars, but not plugged it into a DBW non cruise omega] to test.
