given that my head unit nav slot wont play writeable media, is there any point replaceing the lazer? or is the unit simply not capable, even with new tip top components?
from the price, it would be cheaper than, any genuine media, if you know what i mean :-X ::)

Units of that age were never designed to play recordable media, its a completely different format.

Yes no problem, just been out to check as i realised ive never played a CD in the nav slot, i always used the changer. Only a hooky download which it spat out.

Hi Dave, that sounds like the death of what ever slim chance there may have been of getting tmc working, have heard the boy talk of it(the player) possibly working with Verbatum media burnt at times 1 speed. The disc i had and was spat out was burnt at times 4 and was the slowest the software would allow....

Lasers used for navigation differ from those used for audio.
If you are planning to use recordable audio discs in an audio slot, then no, but if you are wanting to use a recordable Nav disc in the Nav slot, you may just get away with it.

I have found Verbatim CDRs burnt at 1x have caused less problems when used on audio CDs in my CDC2s. Haven't had the CDC3s long enough to comment.

Never had a problem with CDR's in a CDC2 in the 8 years I had them in Vectra's. CDC3's (and obviously all the HU's that have them bolted on) seem a little more fragile.

whats cdc2/3? The changer ?

whats cdc2/3? The changer ?
cdc3 is changer used in facelifts (and in external form as a seperate in some vectras, astras, zaffys etc).
cdc2 is teh 6 disc used in earlier omegas (and others)
-
Yep, The CDC3 is a standalone changer but on the NCDR2013/15, CCR2006 and CCRT2008 it's bolted to the original head unit - Basically all these units are based on the old single din headunits and the changer was just bolted on with a double din front fitted.
CDC2 was a bigger 6 disc unit (as found in the boot of Omegas with CCR600/800/ CCRT700) or the glovebox of Vectra B's with CCR600's)
If you ever find a CDC3 with 'TB' or the part number 91157147 written on it, let me know!
EDIT: TB beat me to it!!!

Why does it need to be a TB?

Looking to swap one of my spare 2013's for a 1500 so need a CDC3 that's compatible, I was lead to believe that the TB / 91157147 was the CAN version of the CDC3 :-/

Firstly, why do you want a ncdr when you have a facelift :-/
Secondly, about the TA and TB... ....nah, I'll keep quiet, it will push the prices up :-X

Firstly, not for the facelift - already have the 2013 & CID in there, have a possible project involving an Astra, when or if I find one cheap enough.
Secondly, ;)

Update on this part from supplier 'Unfortunately the items you have ordered are no longer stocked. The order has been cancelled as there were no alternatives in our system'
Mine as bit the dust today, :'(clean no good - will not read normal or Sat nav disks (unsure on history of unit if CDr's have been played - possible ). Any way - just ordered a replacement nav laser from germany (www.lasertrader.de - they still have limited stock :y ).
