Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CCR2006 cd connections

Okay thanks, I was just after your perspective as you said you had tried this product and state catergorically that it will never work. Hope you get through all your work on time, cause your Aston must need some amount of petrol, nearly as much as my Omega at the moment, lol

I have but this product is sold in quite a few countries specifically for Bose systems in any make of car, I cant understand why it wouldn't work. You say you have used them, so could you just explain to me (a noob) why it never has and never will work,

Can you explain to me then why it works in different makes of car? Are American car speaker signals different from UK signals? Why would it not work, it just goes in the speaker cables from the head unit?

Being a little sharp there Dave. It is a universal adapter that works for any car with Bose. You adjust it using the screws to suit your car. I have been reading reviews about it all afternoon. It has also been superceeded by a version with RCA connections one side and speaker wire the other to connect to RCA outputs on head units. I also contacted Crutchfields, one of Americas biggest electronic retailers dealing with cars and they recommended it to me. I never at any point said it was for Vauxhall, Honda or any other make.

Thanks Dave, do you not think this adjuster will work then. Many of the owners of American cars with Bose have used it to install a new head unit with great results.

Just had a reply from the nice man at Bose. Apparently all the Omega Bose systems work on 7v RMS output. I take it this figure will be at peak volume output?

Cheers, I think from my previous exploits in my Vectra and Astra, Kenwood are the only one that make a Vx Display adapter. I will look into it, it's not essential was just wondering who made the display adapters

Cheers Kevin, so most aftermarket units will also be able to keep the display, I know most will connect to the steering wheel but I thought in most cases you lost the function of the display.

Assuming I can get this from America, what else is required to keep the steering controls and display. Am I right in thinking that Kenwood are the only company that do a display interface? And also is there a remote wire for the amp from the original HU?

This is the product and it is adjustable.

I am in conversation with someone at Bose at the moment to get the output levels so it could be calibrated.

Thanks guys but I think I have found something that means I can fit an aftermarket stereo and retain the Bose setup, just need to find if they will send it from America!

Thanks VXL V6, back to the drawing board then. I have bose and am quite happy with the system, plus i don't want to re-wire the speakers for a new headunit, just thought it might be possible to add a changer using the red connector/ribbon that connects the two units. Oh well, the joys!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CCR2006 cd connections

Having looked at the excellent post about removing the cd changer part of this stereo it gave me an idea. The cd changer connects to the tape/tuner part by a ribbon lead, could this be used to connect an aftermarket cd changer (by appropriate adaptor)? My player is really struggling to play any cd now and it is doing my head in. Does anyone have details of the pin connections between the units?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Ipod into an Omega

Bit of a question for the technical gurus. Would it be possible to remove my 4 disc changer section of my stereo (think it is a 2006) and solder or fashion an ipod usb lead onto the connections where the cd changer used to reside?
