Is it possible to fix the flap to the \cd plsyer on this stereo or do I have to live with it broken? It appears that the right hand side (sitting in drivers seat) has come adrift. The CD player itself works perfectly.

Spares are rarer than rocking horse poo since the demise of Philips many, many years ago

That's bad news. Is it posssible to take the flap off of a broken 2006 and fit that to the facia of the 2013 ?

;D ;D
If you can find a 2006 with an intact flap, then yes !
However, trying to find a good flap . . . . .
:-X
Also look for the CDC3 from the Astra/Vectra glovebox (same flap) but again, most have now been robbed for parts.
:'(
What you will probably end up doing is making a small pin for the flap to pivot on, and glueing it in place
;)

Thanks Dave DND, I'll try the flap first. I'll take the front off of mine to see what is wrong.

I like to think that VXL V6 and I have the world's supply of NCDC bits ;D ;D ;D

Does that mean that a flap may be available ? ;)

Probably not I'm afraid - spares for my own stuff....
-
Oh well, worth a try.

I had the same on CCR2006, the other end of the flap was hanging loose and replacement was not an option due that the spares are very rare.
I simply repaires the "hinge pin" on the flap, which was broken. I glued a small steel pin to the place of the original plastic one and voilá, as good as new. Took some time to dismantle the unit but it was easy enough, just be careful not to break anything...

I think I may have one..... will have to have a look through my various boxes of NCDx bits.
Whereabouts are you?
Have you managed to remove the Head Unit? If not you may find it will need more than a flap / catch by the time you've managed to remove it!
Oh and if you have got the unit out and the front bezel off it would be worth inspecting the catch area to see if there is any further damage.

I am in Hemel Hempstead. I went to remove the unit and then realised I don't have the code so I need to sort that out first. I know what you mean about removal, I could end up looking for a complete faceplate !!!!
If it wasn't for the loss of satnav and computer functions I would have whipped the whole thing out and fitted my Pioneer. Rewiring the speakers would have been less of a problem !!

Don't worry about the code, the only code is for the pairing between the unit and screen (and telematics if you have it).
You will not need to enter a code into the head unit if you remove it and break the power feed. :y
Will have a dig around and see what i've got left, might not be for a few days though due to work and The Lakes meet.
Would be worth checking exactly what parts you need first before I start searching! ;)

I'll be able to pull the unit on saturday so will let you know then. Thanks for the help.

I have a complete front for a CDC3, with working flap/button. PM me if you want it, I'll chuck it in the post as it's no use to me, I've had the rest of the changer for my 2013
Although I have stolen the allen key removal hole covers...... ::)
