Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: internal wiring diagram for the CCR2006?

Yep, phone aux would be a good solution due to the ready made switching input. Never tried to activate the phone aux so I don't know if the tone and volume settings are maintained during phone mute or perhaps there's a separate volume setting?
Either way, you should be able to feed a signal into the phone aux input and trace it to one of the inputs on the chip.
Failing that, I think the signal is looped out and back into the TDA7313 after the input selector so you could switch it here.. Ahh, yes. Pins 7,6 and 17,16.
This has got me thinking again... My Zen would slot in nicely where the cassette normally goes...

My thoughts exactly... I started to wonder how difficult it would be to capture the previous / next track inputs from the steering controls and send them to the ipod via a dock connector rather than just using a headphone connector for simple audio - but the ipod uses serial signalling over usb which would require a PIC, and then I got completely carried away...
I'll probably use the audio connector, but thanks for the point about the phone aux - that's switched and therefore probably easier to manage, I think. (My elite has phone wiring pre-installed, though, so i might want to leave that in place).
Typical - a simple project turns into a wildly complicated one cos I get carried away!

Ahh, the old ST part.
From memory it has 3 inputs so I guess its quite possible that one of these is for the aux (phone) feed.
If so then its a case of tap into this and away you go.
I've read the TDA7313 datasheet and you're right, by god - three stereo inputs - it's just a case of tapping into the right one.(Right inputs, R1,2,&3 are on pins 11,10 and 9, and Left inputs are on pins 15,14,& 13)
I think some exploratory surgery is required on my CCR2006 - this might be easier than I thought...

Aha! Thanks Kevin.
I was aware of your howto but I figured it was just for a line out - I may be more tempted to have a crack at that.
Cheers
John.

With the limited space behind the head unit, the IQ Play units are so difficult to fit, that they are not really a viable option either.
Hence the reason to suggest the modulator that we have, as to fit it, you don`t need to touch the head unit in any way, and it is not one that plugs into the aerial leads either

Nice one Dave, cheers mate. I might well buy one next month, subject to available finances.

Thanks Dave, figured as much.
I'm trying to work out a way to get my music out of my CCR2006 with decent quality - the aforementioned tape to ipod adapter is horrible quality and is probably doing damage to the tape mechanism (not that i'm terribly bothered as the tape mechanism isn't that much use to me anyway), and burning CDs knackers the CD laser positioning mechanism in short order, i understand.
You mentioned a professional quality FM adaptor for ipods - is that likely to be the best I can manage, short of a head unit swap?
The music is mainly drum and bass which rarely gets released on 'proper' CDs - they still mainly cut vinyl or provide MP3s. :-/

Anybody got one of these?
I'm considering replacing the tape stage of mine with an ipod input section and fitting a blanking plate with connector in the tape bay (I never use my tape player and the ipod to tape adapter I have in there at the moment is awful).
A long shot, but I thought I'd try...

Guilty as charged, your honour. I cannot tell a lie, I listen to Radio 1 until my brain starts to leak out of my ears, then I switch to Radio 4. (Or a CD).

Well, the extra specially strange bit is that it used to say BOSE, but at some point (i think after I disconnected the battery when I was doing my cambelt and cam cover gaskets) it started showing OSE instead.
Not really that bothered - it just looks a bit strange when it starts up. Maybe I'll get it Tech2'd at the next meet.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / OSE not BOSE
« on: 20 March 2009, 14:20:20 »
Bit of a weird one this - not a biggie, just thought i'd post it to see if anyone else has seen this.
My 2.6 elite has a Bose CCR2006 with the usual assortment of subs, amp and speakers, and an MID (I think) display.
On startup the display shows 'OSE' instead of 'BOSE' - The pixels aren't duff because after startup that section of the panel works fine when showing other data (i.e radio stations, etc).
Am I right in assuming my MID has a hiccup on startup?

I've got an 02 2.6 elite - expect a BOSE system with Sub and two speakers in the rear shelf, speakers in the rear and front doors, and (I think) separate tweeters in the front doors too.
Mine has a CCR2006 headunit - 4 disc in dash CD changer, RDS radio, tape cassette player.

Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 V6 tappety sound, black oil, oil light
« on: 23 July 2011, 20:17:03 »
Thanks all. I'm a bit shamefaced that I didn't change the oil, it was on my todo list.
I'll check the sump and do a quick oil change and filter - if I'm lucky then I might get away with it but I'm not that certain.
If not, then expect to see some parts for sale

Omega General Help / 2.6 V6 tappety sound, black oil, oil light
« on: 23 July 2011, 12:35:09 »
I rather unwisely gave the mig a good thrashing on the A1 on the way home from watford last night - it is a ten year old car with 126k miles on it, after all - should really be a bit more careful with the old girl, rather than racing her against kids in saxos.
About two miles from home the oil light came on, and I got a loud tappety noise from the engine.
Checking it this morning, the tappety noise is still there - so loud you'd have to shout to make yourself heard with the bonnet open. Oil level is good, but the oil is as black as tar and I haven't changed it or the filter for ages (i.e. 2 years + ).
. No leakages from underneath, or from around the camcover gaskets.
I'm guessing that I've got a blockage in the oilways feeding the tappets / lifters - don't know the correct term - and a couple of oil and filter changes should do the trick. Perhaps some Wynns Lifter treatment too?
Any other suggestions? I did the aux belt / cambelt / breathers / water pump / camcover gaskets etc about 2 months / 500 miles ago, and I've got no error codes. The car has been sat outside the house with very little movement - maybe 200 or so miles in the last four weeks - because I've been quite ill.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
