Which display is likely to be fitted to my 97 Elite? Mine displays the radio info,trip computer info and also the brake pad warnings etc. I can't check on my car at the moment so I was wondering what this unit should have electrical connector wise?
Anybody any ideas?
-
It will be a MID, but IIRC, there are two types for that with different connectors.
-
is there anyway of identifying which from what is displayed or does it require a look at the back of what is fitted?
-
Best way is to have a peek - dash comes out really easy and quick. I think its the colours of the connectors that distinguish them....
-
Ok, i'll have to wait till next week then.
Thanks [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Why, is yours knackered?
-
Early ones have two connectors, yellow and black, later ones have one, grey connector.
As a general rule, the later one has a seperate check indicator where as the ealrier versions spell 'check' on the screen

Mine has the word check in the bottom right of the screen
-
Later one with the grey plug then, much easier (and cheaper) to get.
It might need setting up with tech 2 if it is froma car with a diferent size engine and/or gearbox.
-
Is that just a grey plug or a grey and a yellow plug?? ones I have seen have a yellow socket or a yellow socket and a grey socket.
-
Earlier one with orange and black connector (although interestingly its from a 98 car and has a seperate check indicator)

Judging from the above you will need to spend 5 mins checking what connector(s) you have.....
-
Yes it looks like I'll have to pull the dash out.
Another job for the list next week!!
Going to be a busy week! :-X

Yep this the one I have, and I need a replacement :'(
-
Mines in need of replacement, need to find a good one.
Still haven't looked to see which one I need but will do when the time comes.
TheBoy do you reprogram these too. :)
