Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: What Bulb ?
« on: 19 March 2008, 15:54:57 »
....also referred to as a W5W or 501 'wedge based' bulb. 12v obviously. Shouldn't cost you more than a couple of quid a pair. Maybe change both to achieve equal performance.

For future confirmation of anyone else reading this thread, to check whether warning lights are working, observe lights on dash panel when ignition is switched on. They should then extinguish upon starting the engine.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Single DIN CD with bluetooth and iPod?
« on: 10 March 2008, 20:20:08 »
I fitted a sony H/U the other day, twas only a cheapy but had pre outs, aux in on front and back and CD changer control. NOW, sony's ipod interface is only around £15 new (from the bay), utilises the changer and rear aux socket and allows the ipod to be controlled remotely. Therefore, run the cable to the glovebox or any suitable cubby and connect up and leave the ipod out of sight (charging) and control via the stereo controls. H/U also came with IR 'credit card' remote.

Not sure how old your car is Arrol but certainly on most of the newer keys the answer is YES. They can be dismantled and put into a fresh 'casing'. Consult that friendly online auction house

Why embarrassed? If it doesn't work it doesn't work, happy to help mate! Always taught there's no such thing as a stupid question
...and i've fitted car audio in the dark before!....
.....didn't work like!
There is always a nice feeling about getting a car audio system working though

Mr Dumpty, have you got a multimeter?
If so, check the 'Illumination' supply from the loom plug that connects to the radio. It is an orange wire I believe? I.E. Connect your meter from the plug to a ground anywhere on the car. There should be a reading here, obviously there will only be a supply when the headlights are switched on.
Report back here and we'll get it sorted

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Bose CCR2006 no sound !
« on: 16 November 2007, 12:26:22 »
If you've got Alpine gear and perhaps add some aftermarket squeakers, the bose is nothing to shout about. Yes it's ok for a factory spec car system but if you've gone the upgrade route there is better to be had, i'd still be tempted to keep it stealthy though

Here you go mate (provided you have the all important radio code!);

For the CD changer (if you have one) instead of holding 'AS', hold 'CD' instead. (Though it might be fine without inputting the code)
