Wassat?
« on: 03 September 2010, 10:07:59 »
In the r/h rear light hatch of my estate I found an "aerial" connection, and a multiplug. Broomies mate has the same, but his is under the rear window in a space left to fit something in a plastic moulding.
What is it for??

Funnily enough, Mike, I looked at this plug again today with question marks floating above my head.

It's a small coaxial type/BNC type (but neither of these) connector and a small grey multiplug.

I'm sure not, but was the Omega ever 'loomed' up for DAB?

If you notice, the CCRT700 has an Onstar button.

The Catera had it as did many GM cars in the US. Its a standalone GPS assisted support system  which can track/disable/unlock the car should needs be.

It works well - so quite why it never made it here I dont know.
