Omega Electrical and Audio Help / GPS Connector Type

« on: 01 February 2015, 21:56:51 »

Does anyone know what type of connector this is? (It goes to my Pioneer SPH-DA110 Headunit)

Also what connector is used for the 2013 Navigation headunit on the Omega, I'm looking to get an adaptor so I can use the existing GPS antenna or replace the whole antenna.

Omega General Help / Weird Automatic Problems

« on: 28 January 2015, 23:25:10 »

I've been having a few issues with the auto on my 3.0 Omega.

While driving at certain speeds, if I come off the accelerator and then put my foot back on it, even if I wait a while or do it gently, the gearbox changes down 2 gears and then realises I didn't want to change gear and changes back up.

All the time I keep my foot on the accelerator, it's fine.

At 70mph, it's fine, 50-60 it does it all the time (country road driving).

And it is getting worst.

I have done a gearbox fluid change and cleaned the filter (oil smelt burnt) but hasn't had any effect.

I'm guessing it's the AR35 box as it's a 3.0?

General Discussion Area / Dash Colour Change

« on: 27 January 2015, 13:29:34 »

Hi,

I know for some, colour changing the dash of the Omega is seen as.. Well.. Gay.... But the orange dash illumination has got to be one of the worst colours choices to choose.

I am slowly converting my dash illumination to white using, where I can, 3mm flat top white LED's (Gives a better coverage area).

So far, I've done the switches but the 3 problem area's I've found are the climate controls, the info display (GID) and the speedo.

I noticed while I was replacing the stereo and being curious, disassembled the climate control to find an orange filter over the display. Removing it, it glowed in the VFU green.

After realising that there must be enough light from the other colours of the spectrum in the green light to allow it to be filtered to orange, I wondered if I could use a filter to change it to white and....

Not quite the same white but so close..

The switch LED's in the climate control will be next.

As I've had to replace the stereo, I will be replacing the GID with a colour LCD either hooked up to an Android on a stick, Raspberry PI or a mini PC.

The speedo, I'm thinking of using a Vectra one as they don't have the built in orange filter but the one I got off ebay doesn't have the front fog lamp reminder.

Carl,

P.S. What's the best site for embedding pictures? Tried Google and dropbox..

Newbie Welcome Area / My first 2001 Omega Elite 3.0

« on: 28 July 2014, 23:08:59 »

Hi,

I recently got my first Omega after having a Carlton Diamond.

Got it for a bit of a steal with a few issues. Some of which I've found how to fix with the aid of this forum.

Also got a few modifications to do..
