Hi,
Has anyone tried to fix CDC40 OPERA stereo system in his OMEGA C ??
I wonder if the steering wheel controls are compatible withe this system.
I know for fact that the display and head unit need to be changed in the same time. Does the cable and sockets are the same?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I believe TB tried with the similar CD70, with marginal success 

Problem is that the wiring in the later Vectra C is predominantly CanBus, whereas the Omega is mostly not

[KrisGT4]

Thanks mate,
Will need to find the electric diagram and try to get cd70

[Doctor Gollum]

There are easier (and arguably better) ways of upgrading the standard set up assuming it's not a Bose unit in your car

[KrisGT4]

At the moment im equipped with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-VECTRA-C-OMEGA-CD-PLAYER-NO-CODE-/321043378658?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item4abfad31e2 stereo, but i'm pretty sure that isn't BOSE.
I might be wrong

[Doctor Gollum]

Agreed, Bose on that unit would be a surprise

[KrisGT4]

So ist worth to convert it to http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-VECTRA-C-CD70-NAVI-WITH-COMPLETE-HEAD-UNIT/300905988190?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D8327229296920540461%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D300905988190%26
or I should stop dreaming and get this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Omega-Double-Din-Remote-SD-USB-MP3-Stereo-Tuner-Player-Car-Radio-Kit-/350802934574?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item51ad7bfb2e

I'm this kind of person who know what he wants, and all the buttons in my OMEGA have to be in working order 

[Doctor Gollum]

Personally I have one of theses...

Autoleads do steering wheel controls for pretty much all aftermarket headunits

But each to their own

The Vectra units are a couple of generations old, so whilst they might be better at playing home produced cds than the Omega ones, they're nothing special, even if you can get one to work in the Omega

Meant to say Dave DND is the person hereaboots to ask

[TheBoy]

If and when GM ever release an Omega-C maybe someone can try. But fitting later generation double din stereo to an Omega-B facelift is far from trivial.

Get on with it! 

Mind you, if you succeeded i'd then have a stack of NCDC2013/15's!

I lost interest at the point that I realised that I'd need to make a CAN interface between the HU and CID

[TheBoy]

And the gain? TMC and CDRs/MP3s. I use CDRs anyway, plus know how to wire MP3 player in.

Is there a guide for that

[Doctor Gollum]

It'll be in his head somewhere, if only he could see the wiring for the trees

You really are on form with this tree biz arn't you
