Carin Sat Nav
« on: 20 January 2008, 17:58:53 »
I have searched the forums for this information so I guess I need to ask.

I have recently acquired a 1999 2.5 Elite and all the gadgets work and are brilliant (I've owned XJ6's until now) however one thing is missing - sat nav! I have TomTom on pda but it involves two different holders - one for the bluetooth GPS and the other for the PDA. I have never ended up down a country lane I didn't plan to lol but as the car can have internal system why not use it?

I have the chance to acquire a Carin cd player & display and I know where to get the updated cd. What I don't know is where the cd rom lives.

There is a holder I have found inside a cuddy in the boot. The cd changer is inside the 'hole' but there is also another holder sitting there doing nothing.

In short - sorry this has been a lengthy post lol Does the cd rom live in the boot or glove box. Would the wiring already be there? Does it take a seperate gps unit?

By the way great site guys - I hope to become a regular :)

Hi Tommy and welcome to the forum

If it a saloon you have the Sat Nav CD rom sits to the rear of the boot behind the passenger side wheel arch up under the parcel shelf. I am sure the wiring wont be there. I have had this system in two of the Omega I have owned and although it does work I still use my Tom Tom as it is much quicker.

If you have the CCRT700 then some of the wiring is prefitted for the sat nav

If its the saloon yes, if its an estate the early one were fittied on the tunnel between the back seats so it got kicked to bits by the kids and the later ones are fixed to the roof in the load bay :y

Have a look on the inside left hand side of the boot for a cable with a black connector and a mini coax jack. Mine was lying loose in the boot.

It seems to originate from the centre of the car, under the rear shelf and then is clipped to the shelf running around to the left between the suspension turret and the spare wheel, which is where the rom unit should sit.

The black connector is there (multisocket) and a mini coax all wrapped in a little piece of grey foam - obviously never used
Mine's on the right rather than left but I guess it could be moved if needs be.
By the way yes I do have the saloon

I understood it, that wiring in the foam bag is nothing to do with sat-nav but is the pre-wiring for a phone kit that all Omegas had, cos not all Omegas had a CCRT700 phone. The other end is somewhere behind the glove box.

I understood that telephone pre-wiring was not available in conjunction with the CCRT700 and I'm pretty certain that this plug is Carin related.

There's a CCRT700 in my 99 Elite & there's also the phone pre wiring in the boot - up under the parcel shelf.
I was in Edinburgh last week - we could've compared notes/wiring.  :y

I thought this was the loom for the sat-nav

Now I'm stuffed :(

Can anyone post a picture of the back of a carin unit so we can see the connections ?

Pretty please with sugar and pink icing on top  :D

Righty ho.

I've just opened the wiring diagrams on TIS.

Clicking on the navigation unit brings up a picture of a connector.

this connector is in my boot

It has a ten hole connector with a little lever to release it.

This convinces me that this is the loom for the sat-nav unit.

Jules,
Is that the connector we were talking about earlier?
