Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: NCDC GPS signal

« on: 24 August 2010, 02:58:48 »

Yes, they do have gyros in them and they work in conjunction with the speed pulse of the car to know how far you are travelling in a given direction - this information is then interposed upon a map and the navigation can then operate fully - every 30 seconds or so it will then confirm its location by means of a GPS signal.

Operating this way makes them exceptionally more accurate than the handheld units that only know their location from a received GPS signal.

 

Cheers Dave, I love this site - I've learnt so much...

That would fall in line with the fault diag then - no speed signal ? - But then is s/o GPS that inaccurate ?, maybe with a poor sig as well, Umm.....

What was the cost of the unit new ? - guess I HAVE to buy a facelift now...

That didn't solve it been told they receive 6 satellites on green
Its shows red when 3 satellites or less
it shows yellow when 4-5 satellites

One of them put in there home address and it started taking them in the wrong direction

Sounds like the Gyro in the main unit has failed then

 

Do they realy have Gyro's in them ?

I beleive they use the SIRF chipset (phillips) - nothing goes wrong but if the signal is low they will give random readings

Looks to me like Poor gps signal!
Check AE connections - Also check the connections behind the drivers kick pannel, I'm fairly sure the antenna has a coupler there... or replace antenna with a new/known good'un

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Elite Mem Seats In CDX ?

« on: 17 August 2010, 20:09:06 »

.... Anything is possible, A while ago, whilst living in manchester, a friend (!) of mine, who can only be discribed as "Tackleburry" from police academy, worked at a biological research lab, and being slightly miffed from having his car constantly broken into installed a "device" in his car radio - Suffice to say the basics of this were...
... A few lengths of wire, a "det-cap" and a condom filled with somthing that had been made in a fume cuboard and smelled like almonds ....

I think the idea was - thief steals radio.... connects the "Red" wire to a supply - "POP"..... "Oh I feel funny"....... Slump!

He did have that... radio stolen but never again.... Funny that 

I did suggest that leaving his Bucks-Fizz tapes in it would be a better deterrant but hey ho

Oh Wow...

That's saved a whole load of messing....

Now all i have to do is set a memory position that is fully forward & connect it to the alarm....
"Hey presto - car thief gets pinned to the steering wheel"

Thanks

Yeah.... I don't see it being rocket science, The main point was the adjuster ECU being in the elite seats (or did i have to get that as well) - I'll chop a section of the elite loom when i remove them - Mine's a 98 and the elite is an S plate... so all should be cool, At least easier than changing my ABS ecu.... Look like i've stuck my hands in a bag of cats !!!

Excellent....

That's kinda what i'd hoped - the ECU is in the elete seat - so just give it power  - Whilst at a scrappie on friday I found an elite with better cond front seats than mine -

...."Nice"

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Elite Mem Seats In CDX ?

« on: 15 August 2010, 09:10:39 »

Hi Everyone....

Does anyone know whats involved in fitting the front seats from an Elite (With Memory) into a CDX ? - Apart from the heat pads & airbags - would the supply for the adjuster's be the same as the CDX height adj or is there a different loom/ECU for the elite?

TIA.... Steve

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Radio Decoding.

« on: 14 August 2010, 01:18:34 »

Hi Dave

Thats kinda what i ment - Having to physicly interact with the unit rather than a software (remote) decode... form the units serial number.

Radio dont work -
£15 - Radio does work - "Simples!"

Sounds like a bargin to me !

Just like back in my old TV days.... the customer would allways tell me "I dont think it's much, just a loose wire"

As if the o'l jedi mind trick would magicaly reduce there bill....

Anyone down your neck of the woods re-gassing Plasma screens

Hi -

Correct me if I'm wrong - but I think you can only decode one of those by dumping the bin file ? (or car pass of course)

(Is that right Dave ?)

Centrafuse seems to be the best front end :

Cool.... Excatly what i want to do...

"Its still miles away from been finished, but at least its usable now! - That said I really need to sort out the power switch (have to touch the wires together which are sticking out the bottom left of the screen/dash area!) as its been like that for 6 months now! "

LOL have the same issue with my kitchen..... bathroom.... car.... Hi Fi..... PC.... Garage.... garden.... shed.....

Ian :
Was it much of a pain moving the switches ect & do you still have the CID display ?
touch screen i guess ?

.. what front end is that ? - I was using centrafuse in my van PC. the nav engine was fairly good and the phone function was fantastic...
I do have the latest version but there is a bug with the UK postcode search (to be fixed on the next release)

Nice job - comming along - keep us posted

Hi Guys...

The PC itself is not an issue - what i wanted to see is if anyone had done it - Curious about screen mounting ect...

The plod must have had an awfull time fitting there stuff in - theres nowhere to put anything, I think the facelift would be a better bet but i aint got one (yet)

but before any of that i need a cup holder !

Hi Everyone...

Has anyone fitted a car PC in an omega yet ? I'd love to see some pics....

Some time ago i put a pc running centrafuse in my works van... Best thing i ever did, sat nav, phone & media all at the touch of a screen, it was a fairly heath robertson affair but worked well and being a van had loads of room

How ever did the police get on with them? - theres no room for anything, I did toy with the idea of replacing the CID but i like what it does, so any ideas? need to mount a 7" or smaller screen...

Happy to swop parts, ideas, software ect...
