If you want phone, there is the aerial to sort, and changing the courtesy light for the ccrt700 one, and a lot more wiring.

Err not another bit I need? may I ask why? as I have a mic up there already.. I have found a lot of an in car phone kit still fitted, mostly an aerial, RF amp under the glove box and the afore mentioned mic so I am not sure what other bits it would need.

Is all the phone stuff in there factory fit? Why do you want to fit ccrt700?

[jules]

PIC of display.

Phone appears in bottom right corner when Sim is installed

I want a propper in car phone with no dangly wires or hand sets! no idea if its factory or not but I suspect not, mind you the traffic master looks decidedly aftermarket, but is suposedly fatory fit!

So that MID I bought, what is if for? it appears to have 2 symbols on it that mine does not.. one is a phone the other is a circle thingy..

Stewart

[Ford Prefect]

SO where can I get one of those from? looks a bit bugetronic compared to the full size version! and how differnt is is? TBH as long as it works I can live without the signal strenght.. have they changed the whole way it comunicates with the MID or just added bits to it?

Also I supect the original MID it was working with is still in the car it came from, so would a standard one work in its place? (if so I might be able to get it)

i installed my ccrt into an mv6 today well final bits

it will not work without a CCRT Display

goto the scrappes find an ellite and get the loom display asmuch of the iso connecter you can get the 6 speakers and an amp and i should have my guide done by the time you get ya kit!

yes my mv6 had a nokia cark91 hands free kit i used the aerial and mic input on the ccrt and it worked fine!

[Ford Prefect]

Going to be a long time then, none in my local scrappy, and when one does appear I think the MID is the first thing to go... unless you get it the minute it comes in think the corsa owners think they can wire them in!

Does anyone actually know how the two types of MID actually work? It might be possible to interface to the ordinary one, afater all the only extra bit is the signal indicator. Are they both CAN? if so it should be possible. Does anyone have the pinouts for both?

You cannot use standard MID with CCRT700, they are very different electrically, and the protocol they communicate is completely different.

If you want a phone, a nokia bluetooth kit  wired in to stereo is an easier, cheaper option, and ultimately probably more usable, depending on how good your phone is bluetooth.

But not even half as cool and groovey... eventually I will find one... The other half of the question is, assuming the CCRT700 has been replaced in a car with an after market head unit, and therefore the radio side is now no longer in use.. will a normal one work in its palce for the trip computer and clock functions? as I may have found one but its in a car!

Should do.

Remember, both MIDs need to be programmed to match the car's config

[Ford Prefect]

Ohh in what sence? if both MIDs are from V6's would they be corretcly set up? or do they both have to be the same capacity?

I'm assuming yours is minifacelift, so engine size, gearbox, tyre size (16" or 15/17"), headlight technology, and if it has add-on heater.

[tmx]

yes i got my GID off a 3.0 elite as myn is an mv6 all that needs setting up is the tyre size which ill get done eventually

the normal mid used a FSDA Protocol like all the normal CCR 400 600 800 radios the CCRT uses CAN which is totally different FSDA is like serial whilst CAN is like USB so theyre not compatible

its alot of stuff you need for the conversion

GSM Aerial kit
Mic /Courtesy light of an elite
CCRT unit
CCRT Changer
CCRT Display
CCRT Loom but my changer loom did have CAN wires in it already but i believe the boys doesnt !
BOSE Amp
BOSE Loom
BOSE Speakers x 6

that is all you need but its alot of kit i got myn of a scrapyard on ebay £100 all in except the display and head unit come from a local scrappy but myn cost me £150 all together in the end and its well worth it the bose sound is brilliant
