Hi,

Thanks for all the replies. Here are some answers and new questions:

The sticker on the back of the old one says:
KJ
and
GM 24459629

The new one has no sticker.

Both units have the following numbers imprinted in the aluminium casing:
65 91 55 03 02 a

Now the question:
Both units have a black 12-pin and a grey 32-pin connector. I've discovered which pins are the nr. 1 and the nr. 12/32.
I've also found wiring schemes. The units stand here in front of me on my desk, so standalone away from the car.
If I wire  the pin which goes to "ignition"(pin 4 to F15) and the "ground" (pin 1 to chassis) to a 12V power source shouldn't the screen at least come on (i.e. change colour)?

Maybe just try and expect some nice fireworks...

Thanks again for all the support.

Gerard

OK, KJ means you have the full colour CID.

Yes, applying power does light it up.  Cant remember exactly what power you have to provide - certainly there are at least 2 0v wires (1 and 32 from memory, BUT DOUBLE CHECK!!)

Probably came ftom a Vectra C/Signum if the outer box was different. Almost certainly not paired to the head unit...

Does plugging it into a different vehicle without pairing render it useless. Permanently.?

As long as no magic smoke escapes, no damage done.

My KJ display I have here on my desktop has 65 91 550302 c imprinted in the aluminum casing.

And the Omega displays all have the three metal tongues on the top side to connect to the two buttons above the display in the instrument panel.

Okay, the 3 tongues are not there in the new one. I hoped the function from the buttons would be found in one of the menu's. So I guess this one is not going to work.

But it still bothers me that neither of the two displays I have now shows any sign of life when you turn on the ignition. Makes little sense and I don't want to keep buying new ones untill one works (I read somewhere that a guy got a working one after buying 4 of them)

BTW: the CD player sometimes works, sometimes not. Could that be solved with replacing the head unit? I got one for almost nothing (dutch like that!). And the radio finds no stations. Is the functioning of the antenna linked to the display. I read that one of the 32  pins is the feed for the antenna.

Thanks for all the support!
