No. You need double DIN head unit paired with that color screen+ wiring harness. Color screen is controlled via head unit, not through wiper stalk. Other option is to find HU from Astra/Vectra with color screen but there's still mater of wiring..
Speedo cluster is separate part and I believe they are interchangeable as long as transmission is the same, but I'm not sure. M57 ( DTI ) has ''drive by wire'' instead of cable, so there might bee differences.

Depends on what car it came from and if it has been correctly delivered paired.

Unless you're fitting the NCDR1100 with it although if it's not from an Omega, it probably won't work.
