Yea

i took the omega radio out and then took the metal casing out to free up the plugs, then connected the JVC to the two out of the three plugs

is this right or do i need to buy some different wires

Selsey means check the LIVE feed WIRE. Its the red or yellow one, on new headunits, these are swappable, as manafactures vary. I had to do the same with my Alpine unit, and switch them

Dunno if Omega is the same, but on Carlton, Astra 3, Cavalier and Calibra, the yellow and red wires need swapping over - switched and permanent lives.

What he says ^^

On some cars the red is live, others yellow. With Vx you need to swap them around, the loom adaptor will allow you to switch them.

On the loom, swap the yellow and red wires around.

Do you have the BOSE amplifiers and speakers in the Car?

If just the lower plug (power) is connected does the stereo stay switched on, or still shut down?

And yes, the yellow and red need to be swapped over on the bullets
