advert claims compatibility with Omega.

if this works,  it looks like  a viable solution to several points of discussion ......

[Lazydocker]

That's a lot of HU for the money and I would be cautious. I also doubt it is compatible with Bose

I'd be interested to know if it does all work though. Of course, a big thing is also ensuring that the Trip Computer functionality remains and, IMO, that the CID remains fully functional, including showing the Nav instructions

hmmmm sounds to good to be true 
would expect something like that to be around the 700/800 mark
but great if it is compatible in everyway
if it is and i will try and get more info it will deffo be on my christmas list 

wonders what davednd will have to say

Unlikely, the unit has 4ohm impedance

Well looks good but...

[Dave DND]

Yes it should physically fit and function in the Omega

However,

A crowbar is needed due to lack of space for the cables

No, it is NOT compatable with BOSE

You will lose a lot of the extra functions of the CID as these are often controlled from the original head unit.

As an upgrade from a bog standard head unit / display its worth a go, but if you have an NCDxxx then you are going to be mega dissapointed more about functionality you are going to lose

[Dave DND]

PS - its designed for later model Vx models with teh "line" down the centre of the unit, and if you look at the picture of the one installed, even they had trouble getting the top left of the unit to fit properly

Its just too tight a fit.

hmmm thought there would be something 

if something sounds to good to be true it usually is 

[tunnie]

yeah looks nice, shame its not Bose compatible & work with GID's/CID's

Looks like the typical Hong Kong cheap tat to me

TomTom module is seperate for updating purposes. Will run ipod/cd changers, has bluetooth, video in and out, and will play pretty much any disc you put in it without breaking. It will be a tight fit and it is pricey. Make sure you get an EU one, not a US import though.

Just my tuppence worth, (no change expected).

Fek me you can buy a bloody nice Omega for that amount of dosh! 

[Dave DND]

If you are going to invest that sort of money, at least buy a decent brand

I think if I was looking down this route I would go for a double din Pioneer AVIC unit and if the car had a CID I would consider replacing the NCDC with an NCDR and putting it in the glovebox so you can keep the board computer functions via the steering wheel... but then selling the HU and CID would put a healthy wedge towards the Pioneer!

I suspect that it would last more than four times longer than the OPs' suggestion, and on that basis it is better value.
I know someone who has a Pioneer dvd head unit that does most of the above, he paid over £1500 for his system, it doesn't work particularly well, bits have broken off it and it looks shyte. JMHO. 

You pays your money and you makes your choice...
