Push and hold, rather than just push?

I love that that comment seems so patronising and simple yet it's highly likely that this is the answer xD I jus didn't wanna be the one to suggest it

There's something genuinely wrong here.

No there isn't. The OP has a 9N3 which uses canbus. It would either need a canbus adapter or an ignition live taken from the cigarette lighter or similar as the quadlock plug that goes into the standard RCD200 doesn't have it as standard.
