Title: Stereo change
Post by: bigphil1 on 29 February 2008, 11:22:28

Hi all this is my first post.  I have a year 2000 on W plate Omega estate 2.0 litre 16v CD.  I think its one of the first face lift models, as it has the new style heating controls.  Can I replace the stereo which at the mo is a CDR 2005 with a CCR 2006 and retain the steering wheel controls.  One of the reasons I ask is that my stereo has the manual tone control which does not show on the control panel along with the volume level.  Will these values show on my panel if i fit this newer stereo.  Hope this makes sense!!
Phil

Straight swap - all you will need is the code for the new one  :y

Cheers for that.  Will the info show on the panel?  VOL, BASS, TREBLE etc.  as this does not show on mine.

Depends which version of 2006 you buy. If it has the rotary/manual controls then no, if it has the electronic controls then yes.

Yes, With the exception of the CCRT and NCD high end stuff, the majority of the Vauxhall OEM sets with model numbers of 4 digits in length (2006 / 2006 etc) are easily interchangable on both shape/size and wiring
