Should also add its not atall very loud either and it distorts at loud volumes anyway!

I have Infinity component speakers and an amp off Freecycle (some odd make DaveDND knows of) Head unit looks out of place as it is silver. Sony MD.

A brand that never really made it big over here, despite all of my attempts as a dealer way back in the nineties - but very nice amps though !!

OEM Intigration is really easy now there are loads of units that will latch on to the existing Vauxhall Unit

at Some point this will be happening to ur insignia in the fleet

Whilst this is very easy for new and modern models, do not be under any illusion that the manufacturers will waste their time and valuable research budgets on a 20 year old vehicle.

If it hasn`t been made for the Omega by now, there is little chance that it will be - as now too small a market.

Individual opinions are great here, but in my opinion I am more than impressed with the BOSE system fitted to my mig. It's more than loud enough for me and like any sound system, if you set the levels correctly you will get little or no distortion.

Don't forget that the BOSE system is speed sensitive and will adjust the volume accordingly.

it is one of the things i miss about my previous migs, which have all been bose equipped elites....    Dark side of the moon on a Bose system is joyous....   


on the vanilla NCDC2013 in my MV6?     flat, dull, lifeless, and frankly, with no welly.

if it wasn;t for the sat nav , which i like,   and the appearance, which i also prefer....    i'd have the thing out and replace the lot....   OR add Bose system components.... (which i may yet be able to do....   brother in law may be scrapping his elite....     )

Like I sad already, I have a 2DIN OEM HU with GPS, designed for Astra H or Vectra C. It fits perfectly into the Miggy's dash, the color is a bit lighter grey than the original HU, the only thing is that the driving wheel controls are not functioning (the HU has a CAN interface for Vectra C and Astra H - also bord computer messages are displayed only on the Miggy's original MID). It has a nice 6.2" touch screen. I have to stick to it mainly due to the fact that there are no (& there will not be) maps  for Eastern Europe. Also, the HU has all modern things like Bluetooth, mp3, mp4, DVD, micro SD card slot, USB connector, iPod connector & a rear camera input which looks very nice on the screen  . And audio/video output for additional screens, 2 channel function for instance for navigation on the main screen (while listening to music) &  listening to music or watching a film on the additional screens.

It works well on navigation - no TMC  , music (4x45 W output) & movies but it is weaker than the original HU on radio, mainly on RDS.

oh is this a non GM head unit?

Vectra C uses CAN-BUS for everything as far as radio goes same for Astra H iirc

the BOSE is poor guys honestly compare it to what even halfords sell and it is very poor indeed as i say  a standard BMW stereo will out perform the bose system the same fgor many other manufacturers Mazdas have good speakers in them as-well thatll out do that Bose setup

oh is this a non GM head unit?

I reckon it may be a Vx dedicated fitment aftermarket stereo, but doubt very much that it will be an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) one.

There are several about that may physically fit but can be diffucult to push into the dash due to the amount of wiring coming out of the rear.

This sort of thing for instance

Yes Sir, it is almost the thing showed in the link, but is a newer model (it has two micro SD slots - one for Nav software & the other one for music, movies, etc.). And YES, it fits in the dash but you have to struggle to the huge amount of wires in the back! . AND the price is MUCH lower than 1k Euro+ as it is shown for the one in the link. Of course it is not a OEM product (uhhh, English acronyms), my mistake!

[gaby63]

Correct: Aftermarket HU . From China!
