Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CD/Radio

« on: 23 March 2008, 05:16:42 »

Hi guys,

My Omega is fitted with a Phillips CCR2006 unit that has a small fault. It's linked into the Bose system. I'm thinking of replacing it. Cassettes are old hat now and i'm sure there's a model that has the single CD at the top as well as the 4 pack at the bottom. Anyone know the model number please or indeed if there's an even better quality model available that will fit?

Regards,

Dragon.

Omega General Help / Model Verification

« on: 17 February 2008, 04:22:49 »

I recently considered trading my Omega in against a Signum. I didn't in the end. One reason being the derisory trade in offer.

When inspecting my Omega the dealer (who was using Glasses guide) told me that my model didn't exist. It is an Elite and has always been and has all the Elite specifications even including parking pilot, EXCEPT (according to the dealer) because it has a velour (not leather) interior and is a V6 manual (not automatic) it's a non-existant specification according to Glasses.

Everything about the car is original as supplied from new. Is the dealer right or is he (and Glasses) just badly informed?

Omega General Help / Sounds System Help

« on: 17 February 2008, 03:57:17 »

I have a 2001 Elite fitted with a Bose sound system and the fascia unit is radio/cassette/4 disc CD cartridge. (Can't remember the model number, 2008/2009 maybe?)

I have a problem with the on-off/volume/balance. I've spoken to the main Vauxhall dealer and a couple of local ICE companies but can't find anyone prepared to look at/repair the unit. Vauxhall no longer offer service or a replacement unit as it's obsolete. ICE dealers say it's virtually impossible to interface a 3rd party unit with the Bose system.

Any ideas please of companies/individuals offering a repair service on this unit?

Regards,

Big D.

Hi guys.

I own a facelift V6 Elite and have done for over 3 years. I love it! Every time I climb into it i'm happy. It's getting to the time when I will need to change, in fact it's past time really, I just can't find anything I like as much.

God knows why the stopped making them. According to Vauxhall the day of the big saloon had passed in their volume market. Then they point to the Signum; mmm it's OK I guess but it's not an Omega. Then they make the Vectra bigger!

I look after it like a baby. Every job that's needed gets done. Everything works exactly as it should (apart from an annoying but small problem with the sound system volume/balance control, but the steering wheel control is fine). It drives like the day it was new. The interior and exterior are superb. It looks like new. Then they offer me £1,500 in part exchange, rapidly raising it to £1,600 when they saw my expression. That was the point at which I turned on my heel and strode out of the dealership without another word.

Ho-hum.

Spotted this on ebay motors. Looks like it could be a good buy if it goes for the starting price. No bids so far and time running out. (No it's not mine and it's nothing to do with me, just spotted it)
