thats great , but i have no tm button  :-?

You're going to have to start digging then for the actual box of tricks. The aerial is two wires, red one & black one that are taped to the top of the radio cage, it's fed from a plug-in loom between the main loom & the back of the radio & IIRC some are ally casing and some are a black plastic casing that will live somewhere around the fusebox under the steering wheel. :y
black plastic ones have no aerial ;)

Well there you go, I've learned another bit of useless info ;D ;D ;D ....... mine was an ally box & I swapped all mine for a trim without the TM hole years ago.

Is there any real difference between the plastic box and the ally one with the areial . The subscription on mine is just about to expire and would be good to get the better one working . The car had the the ally one fitted when I got it but I had the black one with valid subscription on so I fitted that  :-/ :question

Black one has no aerial so easier to retrofit. Also slightly more advanced in that it says whether short or long range on the delay.

Mine used to talk to me EVERY time I turned the key, got so annoying I disconnected it, the switch is now used as an interior light OFF switch. Long story. ::)
