Guys, bit weird this, but I previously owned a Vectra 2.2 SRI Hatch 2002 and tried to add cruise control to it but it wouldn't work.
I have now got an Omega and so I took the bits out of the Vec and tried them in my mates car, exactly the same except his is a saloon - and it worked fine !
I thought that the 2.2 didn't need Tech enabling so was pleasantly surprised (for my mate) that it worked on his, so he is well pleased !
If I am right, the stalk is the same for the Omega as it is for the Vec B, so I took the stalk back off his Vec and tried it in my Omega - and it doesn't work.
What I want to know is, should my car need a different brake switch as well, or does the 2.6 definitely need Tech 2 enabling - and if so, anyone near the Sheffield area to point me in the right (cheaper and more reliable than the dealer .....!) direction ?
Thanks in advance !

Drive by wire cars DO need it enabling in the ECU (by means of tech2 or similar)

except non Vauxhall engines, such as BMW 2.5TD

My 2.2DTi CD 2003, just plugged in the stalk and cruise all worked as expected, no need for ECU update.

2.6 needs stalk and software update - nothing else

excellent, thanks for clearing that up ... best get myself to the dealers - I fitted the stalk so just need to switch it on. Still gutted that it didn't work on my 2.2 vectra but then when I stuck it on my mates car it worked fine. Bummer.
