Vectors C no good.

You would need a paired NCDC 2013/5 and GID/CID

GPS unit as well. Bit of a faff, lasers for reading sat nav discs will be shot by now as well

Vectra C set up is not compatible, your need a NCDC (Bose configured) and a Paired Screen from an Omega.

However, to elaborate, you need either a HU that has correctly been unpaired from the screen or both units from the same car. In both cases with the Car Pass details of the car they came from.

If you can get both units and the Car Pass, then you can plug both into your Omega and unpair them in order to pair the existing screen to the head unit.

Shop carefully as you can end up purchasing a brick almost as efficiently as going to a builders merchant...

Robsey had one for sale recently, although I think hes not keen on posting stuff ?
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=142335.0

If your installing in a lower spec car you would also need the ariel and cable to go with it.
I installed one in mine, but it was just upgrading from MID to CID, so just a matter of swapping headunit and screen.

You'll need to do a bit of loom modification and addition, if fitting to a lower spec car (eg. no HID's, different size wheels) the screen will need programming to match the spec.

Nav lasers can be replaced and are still available, using original 'unscratched' media is essential for longetivity of the laser.

Vectra C had two versions I believe - 1/2 CAN and full CAN, the full CAN version won't work in an Omega as the only part of a CANbus loom in an Omega is between HU and Screen.

Also need to select Bose mode depending on what your output setup is.

And how configure the unit for bose? "My Naff Code Reader"?

Needs a genuine Tech II really, the various 'cheap' code readers are notorious for bricking NCDC's

Pre facelift ie '02-'05 is half CAN, post is full and readily identified by headlight shape/scrollwheel controls on the steering wheel and CD.. HUs ;)

No Vectra-C screen is compatible. So don't even begin to investigate that, you'll waste your time.

Although the half CAN Vectra-C screen looks the same, its electronically very different.  The full CAN setup used a completely different Navi HU and screen, such as CD70, which is not compatible with Omegas.


Compatible screens were fitted to Astra-G and Vectra-B (and Omegas of course), compatible NCDC201x were fitted to Omegas, early Vectra-C and Corsas (usually only NCDC2011).


All components in the ring (NAV, CD (separate device, even though bolted to bottom of NAV), screen and Telematics (if used)) need to be in depaired mode.

I've seen that piece of shit o p c o m pair these up successfully, I've also seen it screw them up. I'd entrust to a tech2.

Yes, unless they already unpaired with Tech II

Yes ideally, you can put CID/GID into “Delivery Mode” meaning you can pair to another NCDC, but it’s not reliable.

I like NCDC for factory feel look and integration with everything, but in my view it’s not worth hassle for navigation.

If I have the tech ll can buy the unit and screen separately?

Yes, I told you this 3 days ago -
Vectra C set up is not compatible, your need a NCDC (Bose configured) and a Paired Screen from an Omega.

If I have the tech ll can buy the unit and screen separately?
Yes and No, only if they are in Delivery Mode, ie, they have been De Paired, and you have the Audio Pass Security Codes to Re Pair them.

All the above has been answered in your Post, you need to Re Read the replies, its all good info and will stop you going around in circles.  ;)

Depends what screen/HU are currently fitted. It is likely you will need to make an adapter due to slight differences between CCR2006 and NCDC201x looms.
