It sounds like the correct screen for the car, what model stereo do you have?

yeah thats the one, it came without a stereo, how come some later ones ive seen had the other type of screen in, is it for different features?   

[flexbuttcheck1]

ah ive just had a look at the other displays in that link you supplied and it looks more like the ccrt one.

Doubt its a GID, it will be CCRT.

CCRT can be configured to be a MID or a TID. No point in the latter setting, as you'll have all the sensors.

What Stereo are you fitting?

[flexbuttcheck1]

ive put in the ccrt700 in out of an elite and everything seems to work as normal

Excellent, as expected

Did you find a compatible CD Changer?

why did the cars have different displays in on the same model year? the car also has a different looking aerial to my other car but looks original.

i also pressed the phone button on the stereo and it said insert sim would this function work if i put a sim in it or would i have to wire other things into it?

Probably, but it it only works on O2 or Vodaphone network. If you're getting a new SIM, leave it in the full sized card it comes in ie don't snap it out.
