Omega Electrical and Audio Help / locked down stereo

« on: 08 July 2010, 15:27:56 »

I'm having trouble with my stereo in my 99 16v 2litre cdx ecotec-the problem is as follows-after repeated disconnections(from the battery) and me thinking i had the code right I made the mistake of repeated unlocking attempts-and so the stereo has gone into shutdown-I now have the correct code but the stereo is not playing ball-basically Im wondering if there is a way of reseting it thus allowing another attempt at unlocking it-I have been told that I can have it unlocked at a price but was hoping that someone could help me with this-any ideas and suggestions gratefully recieved-Harey D

« on: 29 June 2010, 19:07:24 »

Hi peeps-my 2 litre ecotec has just had an engine change and i now have an issue with the gear box-what seeems to be happening is(its an auto)it seems to pull away fine in first then when i change to second there is a slight delay and the same into third and then i put it into drive and it seems ok ish if only gut less-it seems like when i try to pull away in drive straight off it seems like its stuck in third gear! Also the button on to of the gear stick which used to put it into 'speed' mode as in it would red line before changing gear-it would also seem that i no longer have any kick down-really boring-I love my Miggy but its been causing me alsorts of headaches for months now and i just want her back-I,ll be taking her into a garage tommorow however I am looking for some advice from people who know these fickle creatures-by the way its a 2 litre 16v ecotec on a 99 plate-any advice or/and suggestions gratefully recieved-many thanks-Harvey D
