Not on 3.0, tech2 enable is only for electronic throttle bodies (2.2/2.5TD/2.6/3.2)

on a 3.0 you need the stalk, brake switch, and cruise motor under the bonnet, but no tech2 is needed.

That happens to me if the Traffic master kicks in and says "message received" all the time - radio cannot be turned off even with ignition off car locked etc.

In my case no option but to remove the stereo and battery connections and re set them all. That reminds me I must remove the useless traffic master system sometime.

This reminds me,

My cruise system has never worked since I got the car (secondhand), even on a car that was supposed to have it as standard. Paid VX dealer to look at the problem, but they could not find the fault.

Any one near me want to come and have a look!
