New User and a ?
 

Hi,

Just got my first Mini - a 2006 Cooper S Convertible with Navigation and 33K miles here in Flanders, NY. Love the car so far.

My question is this: on the dash (to the left of the Navi) is a cruise control button that seems to do absolutely nothing. I've read elsewhere on this forum that you need to have controls in the steering wheel to have cruise control but, if that's the case, why is there a cruise button on the dash?

If it's supposed to be functional, I can't get it to work.

Thanks for any help.
