Hi all,

Does anyone have any pictures of a replacement of the standard audio controls for a cd/mp3/bluetooth head unit?

Is it an easy procedure to do, I'm thinking of getting my local audio place to do something.

Thanks

Half hour job tops

Old unit out, possibly plug in adapter loom, fit new facia panel and cage, plug in new stereo, check it works and simply push into slot

Are there any pictures of ones after they have been installed?

Be some round here somewhere

Meant to add if your car is fitted with a Bose system, then the job gets alot more involved, as the system isn't compatible with anything

If you have Bose, you need to replace the amp, and all the speakers, in addition to the headunit.  Obviously the display will be a tad miffed as well, and if GID/CID, become unusable.

To raise an old topic from the dead

Im going to be replaceing my Bose set-up in my Elite and have the display adapter/steering controls adapter for a Sony H/U. This is currently fitted in my Vectra that Im stripping, would the display adapter and steering control adapter work with the Omega's wiring...?

Or is it a case of suck-it and see...?

Vectra B or C?

I swapped the soundlink/ Autoleads steering control adaptor from my 96 Vectra B to 99 Omega and it all worked fine, then put it in my 00 Facelift Omega and still worked fine - was a Sony hu btw

So would errr on the side of yes if its a Vectra B

Yes its coming from a '96 Vectra B ..... so should be OK happy days....
