Title: CDR 2005 VDO Replacement
Post by: docksboy on 15 November 2007, 23:55:22

Hi Guys, I'm looking to replace the CDR 2005 VDO unti in my 52 2.6 v6 as the rotary volume dial is screwed.  I have seen a CD30 on ebay from a vectra I think? will this fit it double DIN but what about the connections?  Also there is a cdr 2005 VDO from a corsa/Astra which is chrome would this be a straight swap? whaty about the display unit?

Any advice b4 spend £60 on ebay

Thanks Gray

Personally I think it will look a bit gash if it is a silver/graphite one :-/ Can't confirm for sure on the tech details but I do know the new vauxhalls run a queer electronics system, not sure if this applies to the radio though.

If you're feeling handy with the old soldering iron there is a replacement volume pot available or perhaps it can be cleaned, will have a shufty through some old posts, it is a common problem. Does it still work from the steering wheel controls?

Thanks, yup still works from the steering controls but seems to take ages to turn up or down

The CD30s like the NCDC's are a CAN bus based display comms setup (nothing queer about it, all the manufacturers are using it) so wont replace a CDR2005.
