Not as much as they were,but still worth a few hundred quid if someone wants one ,imo.
Got an ncdc 2013/gid here which I must get a new laser for.If no-one wanted to buy it I might just bite the bullet and install it in my own car.

Are the NCDC and CIDsv valuably still? Getting a good collection here now  :-\

Not so much valuable, but just becoming harder to come by in good nick.  I have 3 cars running variations on this configuration, so spares are always handy.  :y

Thats why I've built up a good collection of them - as spares for my cars, due to using CDRs ;D.  Knackered one CDC3 (but not the laser), and the Nav Slot laser in the MV6 is dying due to too many (audio) CDRs, though its the (genuine) Nav CD it keeps spitting out.

I knew about the Gerner laser suppliers,just keep moving the purchase down the list of priorities.I suppose the thing is will it be worth spending the money to fix it and then sell it on.How much is someone going to pay for a 2013/gid ?
You may well be right about it not being worth the hassle of installing it in my car,although Im part way through installing Bose setup with CCR2006. Would it be a lot of extra hassle to upgrade that to the 2013 gid ?
Could just sell it for spares as is I suppose. :-\
Not interested in having them for spares myself as Im pretty certain this Omega will be my last (although I did say that about the previous one). Its an ongoing project which should be all done & dusted at the end of this summer,and then may well be sold or maybe even broken for parts.

Are they worth anything? I've got one (still in the car) that doesn't ever get used ::) Probably because some cowboy cut the audio out wiring to fit a CK-7W and we still haven't gotten around to fitting a mixer and repairing it ::)

Were you wanting some PCBs made for them? 'cos I've recently sussed that bit. :y

Best test the prototype first, though. ::)

I hope he hasn't re-used the magic smoke emitted from Mk. 2. It really doesn't work well when second-hand. ;D

;D ....oh hang on, smoke?  Isn't mine the mk2?  Works very well IMO. Just needs a slight tweak to stop the noise on the car audio. Callers are unaware of any of this.
