Hello chaps and chapettes. Just a quick one;

I have a 2004-plate MV6. I have an NCDC 2013 and CID (paired) from a donor vehicle. I wish to install them into my MV6. Am I correct in thinking that it is plug and play providing that the car is equipped with the 12-point RGB plug?

Thanks!

Yep, and assuming its not Bose.

If you have the 2006 or lesser model then no.

[humbucker]

Not Bose, but the existing head unit is CCR2006. What are the implications of that? No RGB plug?

[Marks DTM Calib]

No RGB plug and a few changes required on the wiring to the display, can be done by making up an adaptor loom using an old traffic master loom.

Thanks Mark. Are there any instructions knocking about? I did have a butchers and found the following page, not sure that's what I'm after though tbh

Latter part of those instructions covers it (from the section where it says 'To wire a GID in place of the supplied MID ....'

[humbucker]

Aha, so I need to do the wiring mod as though I was fitting a GID and then do the additional mod for the CID too?

Yes, wiring mod as per GID (which corrects the signals for the large display connector) and then add the RGB signals in as per the CID

[humbucker]

Cheers Mark. I have the CID 12-pin plug mentioned in the guide, never attempted wiring before though. Any recommended tools for the job (here goes nuthin'...!) 

[humbucker]

I mean, I have crimpers, butt connectors, wire cutters. I guess I've answered my own question there, huh! 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yep, that's about all you need.

As said, I use an old traffic master loom and make up an adaptor assembly rather than butchering the dash loom.

You may need to ground one of the pins on the CID large connector to get tech 2 comms working (if its ever needed) but cant recall if its pin 1 or 32.

[humbucker]

Interesting. I have a genuine Tech 2 so should be able to test it one way or the other.

Can you elaborate re the Traffic master loom? Does it have a plug that can be used to connect to the dash blocks? I'm not quite sure what you mean/what it would be used for? Or do you mean butcher the Trafficmaster loom for its pin connectors?

[TheBoy]

Thinking aloud, I'm pretty certain, RGB aside, it will just work, as the 3 wires used for the MID happen to be the same 2 needed for CID.

Trying to think how I did Goldie.  I may still have the TM loom knocking around that I used.

The CID needs pins 1 and 32 joined. It will work if you don't, but the Tech2 won't see it.

[humbucker]

Where would you join pins 1 and 32? Still unsure about this Trafficmaster loom business, did you use it like an extension cable or summink? Any info gratefully appreciated!
