If you mean the kit fitted to late Vectra C's, Astra H, Zaffira B etc etc then i'm afraid not. Basically any kit out of the later CAN equipped cars won't work.

I am still looking into if this is possible (when I get my CD70 back).  Whatever, it certainly won't be a straightforward swap.

I got a NCDC2013 and CID from a Vectra C if you want to have play with it TB.

Been sitting on the shelf since I aquired it, and then found out it was CanBus and not fit for the Mg.  :(

Yup, but far more useful, detailed and definative info in TIS ;)

I realised after posting the link that the person creating the blog seems to be enthusiastic :y but groping around in the dark :(

I feel that anyone who is prepared to attempt something that big business would rather keep as a mystery is to be applauded. Sometimes the things that don't work (and the reasons why) are more illuminating than those that do so top marks for effort :y perhaps not such good marks for achievement :-/

The display will be the challenge, I still think its do-able on the later cars with the CAN link between ABS-ECU-Gearbox

Ignition supply is also a challenge, as its CAN on the CDXX series - you can apply a standard switched 12v but it will only give you 1 hour of operation.
