but it comes with a colour screen.  This is what interests me.

Oooo, could TB be prepared to sell his CID from the MV6

Thanks for everyone's replies and guidance

TB - Thank you, but I think when all considered it is just too much effort for limited gain, so will pass on your offer.  I will fit my acquired rear blind and just settle for that,, dealing then with the things I enjoy; pure mechanics!

The map display and pop-up when you approach an intersection is really useful.  And the fact it shows you distance to go on the main Nav screen when in Pictorial view is a boon to save going through all the menus.

BUT if I was in your shoes, I think I agree with you.  I fitted CIDs to my fleet, as programming is not an issue for me, and to make the Omegas as good as they could be.

I fitted one to mine as it doesn't quite seem like "top of the range" without it. I think the GID screen looks very old school.  I still say if the one for sale is from a 3.2 Elite, its a very simple easy upgrade, and just need to take car and have patience when pulling the old NCDC out.
Simple plug & play apart from that.

Worth double checking RGB cable is there. But I believe LZ's is late car (hence no blind), so very likely RGB is there.

I would be very surprise if it wasn't. Got to be worth checking though.

I've come across a few FL Elites without, but probably all early ones.  I know, I should really have paid more attention

Yes indeed.  Built 14th May 2003. with the last Omega built 25th June 2003.

Just need to check the donor car had Bose, and preferably a 3.2 Ab hours work to install after that.

If I was going ahead, I'm afraid the unit I was watching for sale has gone.

Thanks anyway Migv6

Out of interest. How much was it for sale for ?

£60 if I remember correctly, but I cannot recall if that included postage or not!

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

That's extremely cheap.

The CD player was "stuck", and looking at the pictures it looked like someone had been tampering with the whole housing.  It was only the colour screen I was really interested in.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Ah, maybe not such a bargain then.

I might have bought it, and just fixed the CDC3

(or knowing me, depaired it all, and sell the depaired CID for a gazillion quid on the Gay or E )
