Title: Knackered TID
Post by: smalt36 on 29 December 2015, 19:13:27

Was halfway through the missing pixel repair but when I got the board and screen half the ribbon cable just came away from the board, i'm assuming old age has degraded it! Any way is the only option a replacement as cant find one on ebay, I have a zafira one but its different. Mine has yellow plug.

Also do you need to pair these up like you do with the newer ones?

They don't need pairing as such (for security reasons), the MID's ideally need configuring to suit the vehicle, TID's are pretty much for the HU info plus some other bits, someone would need to confirm whether they need configuring for the Autobox Lamp. :-\

Never know, check your fuses.

Quick update, I have successfully fitted a zafira TID into my omega by taking the internals of the zfira tid, de-soldering the buttons off and fitting into the omega casing ;D. The Radio part with date and temp on is perfect but the bottom part used to have the brake pad light on but that's not on now so maybe need to move the bulb position in the back of the tid? Also its just set itself via rds which I don't think it used to do :y

Heater panels still not on tho so some more tinkering to do
