Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Audio display query
« on: 04 April 2011, 07:28:59 »
Since changing to a new aftermarket Head Unit  the display on the dash loses the date whenever the radio is turned on - no surprises there that will happen of course with such a change.

My question is:- is there any way that you can bypass this function so that the date stays up all the time (whether radio on or not)?

Anyone know of a way?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Audio Forums?
« on: 27 March 2011, 16:38:35 »
Does anyone know of a similar sort of forum to this one but for In Car entertainment?

I'm in need of help to try and make sense of my JVC head-unit instruction booklet.
I'm sure I'm not getting the best out of the thing and I find the booklet incomprehensible. I'd like to realise a lot more of the radios features and cannot make much sense out of what's contained in the poxy manual.

Any one know of anything like this?

In despair................ :'( :'( :'(

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Connections same? Different?

Hi Folks.
It's been a while
Wonder if any one can help out?

As part of my grand plan in modifying my 'meega I wanted a new head unit that would:
1. Play stuff from my iPod
2. play CDs
3. Receive DAB stations
4. Play DVDs through monitors for the kids in the back

Had a JVC  KD-AVX11 installed
Mostly fine except that the screen had to be held in (with my finger) to show anything >:(
Reverse camera nice touch but no good with the screen not working. :(
DAB staions reception not too bad. (Via screen mounted stick on aerial)

3 head units later (all have same problem with screen not working) I get  a KD-DV7402/1.
Different sort of screen - works fine.
However, unlike the other one it seems not to want to save any of the settings that I put in:- clock date preset stations. Every time I start the car back to 0:01 on the clock the display setting is back on 'demonstration' and no presets. >:( >:(
My iPod doesnt come through when plugged in
I'm also down to about 5 DAB stations - nothing like the variety  that I know are broadcasting and one of the reasons I wanted DAB in the car

I'm now at the stage of not wanting to phone the ICE installer coz I've no faith that it'll make any difference (it's been going on since May and I've taken the car back about 5 times). :-/ :'(

Does anyone know these head units?
I dont find the JVC instruction booklet anything other than incomprehensible and I'm beginning to get fed up.

Incidentally, as I now need a separate screen for the reversing camera, does anyone know if the sat nav screen for Prefacelift Elites (that sits in the neat little space to the left of the H/U) can be adapted for use with the reverse camera?

Any help/advice much appreciated!

(losing the will to live) Matthew ;)

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Bose vs Vx ICE
« on: 29 November 2008, 08:36:19 »
Hi,
Just seen the thread from the guy asking about the Bose system. My 98 CDX has the standard Head unit (Philips?) and a Blupunkt CD Changer.

As the quality of Bose is meant to be superior is a straight swap possible? The CD Changer has now started not to load/wont play tracks/Skipping to other CDs. >:(

If I'm thinking of a change is this a good place to start?

I've seen other CD loaders that take more than the current 6 in my Blaupunkt (dunno how many the Bose one holds) which would be good -  but will they take recorded CDs (that I've put together) or should I just go MP3 (or similar?)

Any thoughts appreciated!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CD cassette not loading last CD
« on: 12 October 2008, 07:55:13 »
My Blaupunkt CD loader has started not reading/loading the last of the 6 CDs.
When you fill up and put the cassette in it will say 'ER-6'.

Is this common and just an age thing? Car and CD/Radio now both 10years old.

Time to go MP3?

Any advice welcome.

Omega General Help / Brake pedal soft to start with...
« on: 11 September 2011, 15:19:55 »
Since getting the car serviced in June, I've noticed that there is quite a lot more travel in the brake pedal when I'm driving from cold (this was Brake oil change year).
 It wasn't apparent straight away but has never been like it before

This doesn't seem to last once I've been driving for more than 5-10 minutes.

The braking's not effected but it is different to usual.

Need I be worried? What should I check?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Omega General Help / A couple of things...........
« on: 20 July 2011, 08:01:24 »
Firstly, the front Fog light fuse is blowing - wires touching?

Any ideas where I need to look - routes of wiring, places where the circuit can short?

Secondly, I'm getting a code 77 readout for an airbag light on the dash - Drivers side airbag squib .
Do I need to get the side airbag out and follow/check the wiring through to the seat base?

All Help very much appreciated!!

Omega General Help / Airbag light still on
« on: 22 May 2011, 18:55:14 »
Finally got round to replacing the passenger door airbag sensor yesterday.......... ::)

Disconnected the battery, took the door lining  + paraphenalia off, unstuck the membrane (I've found out it's proper name!) from the bottom of the door. Swapped sensor and everything back in true Haynes style.

Start engine and airbag light stays on. What am I missing? Does it now need to be cleared by Tech 2?

TB, thanks for the Heads up about the wiring. Was a little unsure how to check though as the wires are all neatly carried in ribbed plastic tubing behind the strip which is riveted on to the door skin.
Also wasn't really able to see much inside the circular door plug once I'd got it off.

Any ideas any one? :-/

Omega General Help / Plastic skin/seal for doors
« on: 16 May 2011, 17:58:20 »
I'm about to replace the front passenger door airbag sensor.

I've got to remove the thin plastic skin to get at the wiring on the bottom strip (to check that too) and remove/replace the sensor.

Any tips for suitable adhesive to use for re-sealing when I'm putting everything back? Or will it remain sticky enough to re-affix without additional adhesive/

Anyone know?

......mechanic drove it yesterday and and said it sounds more like the diff than the bearings.
So, if this is confirmed, are rear diffs from breakers worth installing or should I go new? :-/

(I guess this is a case of Mega-bucks :'( vs quite cheap ::))

Any thoughts?

Omega General Help / Facelift door mirrors
« on: 25 April 2011, 14:44:01 »
Just before I start taking things to bits unnecessarily, Does anyone know if I have to take the mirror off the door to get the cover off (ie the bit that is painted and faces forward)?

Omega General Help / manual gear box gear knob info
« on: 15 April 2011, 19:43:32 »
Does any one know the thread pitch (is it called something else in Europe?) of the Omega Manual gear box gear lever?
Trying to find out if a gear knob from the states will fit on a Omega gear stick.

Could some one enlighten me or point me in the right direction?

Omega General Help / Using cubby -hole for a Carin Screen
« on: 09 April 2011, 19:56:38 »
On my Prefacelift centre Console is the little square cubby hole (to left of radio)
When you take the surround trim off the actual hole is lined with a sort of sandpaper coarse fuzzy-felt.

I will be putting in a Carin screen some time shortly and want to know if I have to take the whole of the cubby hole box out or just the lining?
I will be running leads through to behind the H/U so  guess will need access for them,but don't know the extent to which I will have to remove stuff.

Anyone retro fitted a Carin screen and got any tips?

Matthew
