My Blaupunkt isn't very comfortable with CDRs at all.
I gave up in the end and bought some originals.
But then I like Moyles and Mills so it's all good !!

Don't quote me on this but TIS says you're looking for a red and white wire with 0.75Ohms impedance.
And it must run down the passenger side, try looking in the middle of the loom.

Quotei found with the tom tom while in the city of london it couldnt give me the right directions, buildings to tall, one min it was turn left then a sec later it told me to go right, i was dripping with sweat and went round in circles for half an hr
Classic problem of using a hand held sat nav in a city or built up areas with tall buildings and tunnels.
Not a problem you will encounter with a dedicated In Car System
Agreed !
Even the 'old and slow and useless' Carin system as fitted to pre-facelift Omegas can navigate quite successfully without a GPS signal.

A Panasonic DV2300N in Mello Yello. (Both for Sale) 
and now a CARIN in the Omega. BTW I love the simplicity of this unit, yes it's slow, but the way it delivers the driving instructions compared to TomToms is so minimal. It only talks to you when absolutely neccessary and doesn't repeat itself 50 times.
and the wife has a Navsure thingy.

QuoteTesco sim works as wellWho do they use?
I knew I'd read this somewhere !
IMO Tesco will purchase the frequency and set up their own mobile company somehow.

BT and Vodafone are the two networks you can use.
Perhaps Asda and Tesco as I think they use Vodafone.
it will not work with T-mobile or Orange or 3

« on: 23 February 2008, 09:39:26 »
I'm assuming you mean an Ebay Tech2 and not a VX one as I believe this is a handheld unit with proprietry software and therefore is not going to work with VW or Audi Software.
Is it a ELM327 interface ? If so there are various softwares available that use this interface.

Do you have the code ?
Both the radio and the cd need different codes.
They are on a card called the car pass.

Obviously, such technology is open to abuse by authorities. But then I guess a fair few of us drive around with OnStar in our cars - an early location system built in to a lot of 1999 Omegas....
I may be wrong here but I think the Onstar system needs a telematics unit connected to that spare cable and coax in the boot to function ?

They always fail mine on steering play.
I tell them it's a flexible coupling and produce the Nissan document showing how much play is in the joint and still they try it on, I've replaced it with a stainless bush now so that keeps them happy.
Failed on emissions this year, turns out the fuel in the tank was almost a year old
As for GPS 'big brother' it had to come sooner or later so why am I not surprised.

As I do not require a cat 1 alarm for insurance purposes and mine is fully declared including the remote start, I don't have a problem insurance wise.
Also I don't have a key hidden in the vehicle as the car has no immobiliser as standard
So for me, it's all good.
Kev, as for the oil, it was a temporary work around until I fitted a cooler which as yet I have still to do. (It's very good for track days though)

If its a warm car your after, have you thought about the Kenlowe Pre Water Heat system?
TBH I had remote start fitted for a reason.
I use fully synthetic race spec oil, for those not familiar it's like treacle when cold and totally out of spec for the engine. When it fires from cold, the pressure is up in the 90 psi range so it needs about 15 minutes at idle to warm through. Otherwise I'll blow turbo seals and things.
The reason for this oil is that I have a Jap spec engine fitted which has no external oil cooler as it would on a j-spec car, therefore the engine runs hotter than normal, around 130 degrees and this oil is capable of running safely at around 170 degrees.
Another benefit of this alarm is that it monitors the battery level and if it is dropping lower than required to start the car, the alarm will start the car between 12 noon and 6pm to keep it topped up. Useful as it sometimes sits for two months without being driven. Really freaked the neighbours out to begin with!
