I've called my localish Volvo stealer and they were clueless...
My '07 XC70 now has a new steering wheel fitted with the controls - volume controls work but as expected Cruise Control doesn't. Or maybe I can only enable it in over a particular speed or gear??? Not sure.
Do I need VDASH or VIDA, or both?!?
What's the process please?
Thanks!

Is this the same car you refer to that has a new steering wheel, or a different car?
If its the same car, if it didn't have a cruise button with the original steering wheel, it likely means that your car doesn't have cruise control installed. So changing the steering wheel won't make a difference.
To enable cruise control, I think you need to be doing around 30mph. When you press cruise on the wheel, it lights up on the dash. Then press the up and down buttons to change speed accordingly with your foot off the accelerator. Make sure you aren't pressing the brake pedal accidentally, as braking disables cruise.
Is it a base spec car by any chance?
