Hi,
I have read all the posts as best as I can about problems with the NCDC2013, but was looking towards those with more knowledge than me for suggestions.....
I currently have a 2003 3.2 Elite estate with a NCDC2013 and GID fitted. It spits the sat nav disc out within a few seconds with the message 'insert disc with printed side up'. It has worked intermitantly, and whilst working everything seems to do what it should.
I have also got a 2013 and GID which I took out a scrap car, which weren't depaired, but I have the car pass for them. I haven't been able to test them.
I also have a 2002 3.2 Elite saloon, with a NCDC2015 unit with CID in it which is working great, with telematics (which I'm not too bothered about as I haven't got a sim card for it) and I am quite impressed with it!. I bought this car for parts originally, but overall it seems too goood to scrap. I don't have a car pass with this car, but I'm sure I could get one from VX.
The question is -
1 - can the fault be repaired cost effectively, or
2 - could I simply replace the unit and GID with the paired ones from the scrap car as I have both the car passes for the scrap car and the recieving car,
3 - assuming that I do scrap the 3.2 saloon, could I replace the defective units with the NCDC2015 and CID without any further wiring issues as I'm not interested in the telematics at this time?
- Would I need the the units depairing prior to removal?
- Would I actually need the car pass from the donor car to fit them - i.e. for any radio code??
I know a techy at VX who would help me out with any tech2 adjustments.
I know this may have been covered before, but I'm not the best at understanding car electrics, so some positive suggestions would definately be appreciated!!
Many thanks,
johnnydog.
