I went to the dealer an enquired but was told the CCR2006 unit was not available for exchange, I paid £340 plus VAT for a new unit, if you think that's bad they retail at £401 plus VAT.  :o

Sorry to hear that. I have just been pulling together receipts and the part number 0excd which it states are non franchised parts. If I remember/getthe chance on Saturday I'll ask where they get them from.

Was in ordering dress up parts for the new car today and asked the question on the supplier. They are supplied through Vauxhall but availability is dependant on how many units they have going through the recon process.

Check with your dealer about reconditioned units, mine was around the £100 mark on exchange plus you get the warranty.

Tried them all but these are the brightest yet and no bulb failure warnings.

The 2.2 DTI does not respond to the paperclip test or a lo of the generic code readers.
You need either proper tech 2 or one of the better generic readers to get the diagnosis right.

If it comes up with a fuel pump not getting a speed signal problem try the crank sensor before changing the pump.

Best of luck,

Steve

Amp is fitted behind flap on opposite side from the sub.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CDR 2006 disc magazine stuck
« on: 07 September 2007, 13:02:49 »
The white lever is for ejecting the discs from the cartridge. It sounds as thoug the mechanism for loading and unloading the cartridge is becomming worn or the cartridge itself is damaged.

If it gets totally stuck you need to remove the entire unit and strip it down to get access to the various wheels and cogs that work the drive.

Solutions are either a new cartridge or worst case a new player. If the latter try your local dealer for an exchange unit although it seems that not all of them are aware of the exchange system.

This Was the One of the First Things I ripped Out Of My Omega 2Litre CD i hated it Did not play half of my CD's and the quility was a little naff, i dont really miss the steering wheel controls. I cant believe how much a CCR2006 head unit costs you can get far better for a fraction of the price, Mine is sitting in the basement collecting dust ill keep it as if i sell the car ill put it back in.

Craig

Craig,

I agree the cost of a new unit would have seen me going for something different but the £117 for a refurbed unit seemed okay especially as it retains the functionality of the all the controls without hooking up additional interfaces. Having the tape player is good for getting the old stuff out and getting peace to listen to it without complaints from the rest of the family.

Steve D,

The CD safe one is strange as I flattened the battery the night I was trying to repair the original unit, too many interior lights on, and have since had all the units in and out on a number of occasions but have only had to enter the one code for the main unit. The CD player is basically a slave unit attached through the radio cassette by the ribbon cable so you would have thought if there was additional security on the CD player a code would have been supplied.

Mark,

If the amp requires a line out feed does that mean that there are different units to suit the application as I have not seen any reference to an amp for the non bose setup so surely there must be some amplification built into the unit. I admit that apart from matching speakers and amps this is one area where I am pretty weak but I would have thought that a standard unit would have been fitted and any adjustments required to suit the Bose amp would have been built into the loom. No amplification would explain why there are so many complaints on lack of sound quality though.

Steve,

They look to be new but the fact that the last one failed after the second time the CDs were changed indicates a refurb. Can't say I've seen anything different to the original either in looks or the info on the decals. Sorry I can't be more informative.

New unit ordered Monday, arrived Wednesday, fitted (by the extremely helpfull parts lad) today. All working so far and been told if there are any other problems to give them a shout and they'll get another replacement.

Pinged an e-mail off to BOSE but I doubt if it will getthrough the system at work so I'll resend sometime from home.

As to the CD SAFE message I am now on my third radio and at no time has there meen a code supplied for the CD player as it takes it power from the radio cassette so it looks like a comms problem between units.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Exchange CCR2006 Head Unit
« on: 05 February 2007, 12:57:19 »
Follow up from the last thread is that the exchange unit from Vauxhall has lasted all of 17 days before breaking down.

CD unit has gone on the new unit but it's a better failure this time as the CDs don't load so the unit doesn't have to be taken apart to get them out, not bad for the second time the cartridge was out of the player.

Phoned the dealer this morning and another one has been ordered so I'll see how it lasts.

If the next one fails it will be a case of money back and an e-mail to BOSE to get their recommendation for another head unit before ripping the system out as there is no point in having a quality amp and useless head unit. Can't even point to the Philips system as being a let down because the CD player at home uses the same type of cartridge system and it is 20 odd years old and has never given any problems.

Still it's good to get the old tapes out!!

Recon unit arrived Thursday, ordered on Saturday so a lot quicker than the expected three weeks, fitted and all working again.

Mark,

Thanks again for your input. Unfortunately most of the audio specialists up here are to big now to be bothered with this type of repair and after a previous experience with Sony that resulted in a strip and inspect cost of £70 to be told that the unit was u/s I am wary of sending back to the manufacturer so I think it will be an exchange unit, at least I'll get a warranty and a unit that is servicable.

Ta,

Steve

Just phoned the main dealer and it seems that exchange units can be had for £100 plus vat so it looks like it worthwhile going for one of those.

Mark,

Can you let me know where you got the unit repaired, not so much the exact business more the type of place because I think I may be struggling to find anyone suitable locally.

I really want to keep the Bose set up so the next question may be what can be fitted to replace the CCR2006 and retain Bose.

Run down of findings so far -

Took the unit to bits last night and removed the cd cartridge which seemed okay apart from one of the clips that keeps the unit closed when removed from the player having come adrift but once replaced it was okay. It looks as though the problem may lie with the mechanism in the player itself. With the unit on the bench the cartridge fits in no problem and you can manually operate the loading mechanism in all directions but whenever it is re-assembled and hooked up to power the cartridge is either extremely tight and only opens partially or it will not go in at all.

After tinkering for five hours last night I gave up and put the unit back in for the time being, flattened the battery being in and out the car so much and then had to jump start in a howling gale with pouring rain to make things that bit better (had to tie the bonnets down to stop them flipping over the windscreen) but I am now able to strip and re-assemble the cd changer and cartridge blindfold with one hand tied behind my back.

Thanks,

Steve
