just looking for ways to treat my Miggy.... having just been quoted £425+VAT for a CID (new) , thought i'd look and see what else there was .... since i always did fancy a CID, but don't really have the spare cash....
i also wondered where the brains of the trip computer functions were.... for example, whether it might be possible to self build something that could do the job a CID without actually being an original .... basically are the various MID, CID, displays just dumb screens?? with a sensible input that could potentially be converted ? or are they integral parts of the trip computer and navigation system??? with processing and data on board...
or even, might it be possible to take the back end of a unit, and modify it with a different display component????
with regards to the NCDC 2013.... do units from other models, like veccy's actually fit the miggy as well?? my cd cartridge is still jammed..... only been a year.... I missed out on a replacement unit a year ago when i disappeared (see public apology thread in chat, and for which i hope phil will forgive me one day.... i ended up unintentionally dicking him about .... )
so i'm contemplating things .... i don't much like the appearance of any of the budget after market units really... ugly buggers shoved in to a converter plate , SO do not look like they "belong" , spoil the clean lines of the interior sort of thing.... and i actually like the sat nav system , just could use a clearer display....
thoughts anyone???

personally, with winter fast approaching & getting dark early, driving around with that amount of light it would create would be very distracting :-\
VeccyC units need CaNdi Max, so they don't won't, your best bet is to keep an eye on breakers here for a 2015/2013 with CID/GID

Vectra NCDC units and Omega NCDC units are identical (except facia colours in some cases). Pairing these can be a pig though - ensure any replacement is in Delivery mode.
Or buy a CDC3, and swap that bit over - guide in Maintenence Guides.
Computer functions are in the CID itself.
