Can't wire it up, or can't figure out how to!
Sending it back then buying a radio stalk off ebay, all the cruise control ones look difficult... :/

From reading through the german forum it seems a lot of people have just gone for that approach... Like the idea of using the snap-on connectors for the cables, definitely easier than soldering!
All I need now is something with four buttons, thinking I might look for something fairly subtle, maybe a membrane switch, or two rockers.... not sure :/

Was I correct in thinking they must use the brake or clutch for cancel?

Think I might do it like that.. Seems simple... To be honest, how I understand it now seems too simple!
Partially expecting to run into some trouble or other!lol
But if it is as simple as it seems can't be much more than an hours work!!
I can't wait to try it tho!! Fingers crossed my control comes in the post!
