Installing NCDC2015 + CID & Telematics

[RobG]

But he has to come to me first for some other clips and bitz (and help me install "My Naff Code Reader" software and have a look at my Bose unit.)

I shall form an orderly queue then! 

Must be nice to be so popular, hey Paul! 

Paul`s a decent chap, it`s just that Albs is a tad stupid `cause his "brain hurts"

Evening all!

My Omega currently has a NCDC2013 HU with GPS and GID.  I'm about to swap this over for a NCDC2015 with CID & Telematics.  Just a few questions....

1. Do I need to put anything into delivery mode prior to removing the parts, or is that not necessary as I am changing the whole system?
2. Do I have to install any additional looms (for telematics, CID, microphone, etc)?
3. Where is the telematics microphone (on the HU or up on the interior light)?
4. Which mobile networks does the telematics work on?

While I'm at it, I believe that the right-angled gps connector on the cage of the car the 2015 system is coming out of has been damaged...

1. Is the OOf recommended fix for this still to adapt the cage and fit an aftermarket gps antenna? Or has anyone come up with another solution?
2. Is there a method of ensuring this connector doesn't get broken when sliding the HU home?

I think that's enough questions for now...

TIA

I fitted an an aftermarket gps antenna?, then ran this up to the window on the pass' side, worked very well.

Car is now broken (gone to the car park in the sky), but I removed all the bits - NCDC2015+CID and aftermarket gps - you can push the unit home and feed the cable slowly - watch your hands, as they can get sliced putting the cable in at first.

if you need any bits just send us pm, as need to shift em. (got no loom or tele bits - just re-wired to make fit my cd estate)

I need a NCDC2015 for a moment now...

Ok, I'm making progress installing this into my car.  I have fitted the CID and the 2015, primarily to test the functionality of the GPS, which all seems to be working as it should!! I have however discovered that the 2015 unit I am installing is not Bose enabled, so its a tad on the loud side!! 

Is anyone going to Billing with a TechII by chance, or likely to be in the Suffolk area anytime soon? 

I'm getting stuck into building up my telematics/TM sub-loom, whcih I think I have got my head around! The only thing I need now is to remove the section of coax aerial that runs from the telematics unit to the drivers kick panel.  This look to be sewn into the main loom!! 

Has anyone had to remove this cable? If so, is it best to completely remove the dashboard to gain access? Which route does it take from behind the glovebox to the drivers kick panel?

Also, what is the best route for the TM loom and coax lead when I come to run them in my car?

TIA, Twiggy!

I'm about 30m the wrong side of Billing.

Telematics loom - obvious, straight out.

Aerial, runs in the main bulk of wire from behind stereo, by steering column, down into kickpanel. Unpick, but it will be a pig.

I'd rerun the same way

Thanks Jaime. 

I take it you're not planning on going to the show then? If not, I'm wondering if you could spare me a few minutes at some point over the weekend?  :-/

I have no spare time to make Billing, too much to do before the Lakes 

If I'm in, I can do that, but will need to know approx time first to ensure I can be in
