I bought a 2nd hand satnav with all the looms.
looking to fit it to my MV6, using http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1202730965
trouble is, there's no six-way plug behind the passenger kick plate.
AND the website which describes how to break out wires from the loom:- http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/omega-elite/menupages/omegasatnav/satnav.htm
isn't there any more...
so - how do I do it?
also - no speaker included with the sat nav - I have a two-way plug with blue/green and blue/yellow wires.
I'm assuming this is the speaker connection, so what size/spec speaker do I use?
thanks!

Are you SURE the connector isn't there? It is usually well tucked away.
My '98 MV6 had the connector as did a '98 CD and '98 CDX I've seen.
Carin was an option on the MV6, so the connector should be there.
Re the speaker, almost anything will do - get a Nokia one off ebay from a phone car kit - it will come in a nice housing also. I've used one and it works well. :y
-
The 6 ways plug only appeared on MV6s from 98.5 - my MV6 didn't have it either, so I had to add it.
All the info is in the Maint Guide, just a bit 'messy'/'bitty'. The wanadoo site had nothing of use on it to be honest.

Double checked - definitely no plug :.(
So - do the wires I'm looking for in the car loom match the colours of the wires in the loom for the sat-nav?
If not, what colour wires am I looking for?
Cos the maintenance guide doesn't say, nor does the pdf files in the last reply to the maintenance guide
-
The PDF states colours IIRC, and pin locations on the main connector.

You are (I think) correct in that the PDF shows colours(?)
Terminal 1: WSSW
Terminal 2: BLRT
Terminal 3: GRGE
Terminal 4: GRGN
Terminal 5: BRRT (BART?)
Terminal 6: Unoccupied.
It's all double deutsch to me...
I'm assuming first two letters show main colour, second two
give stripe colour?
BL = Blue?
GR = Grey?
GN = Green?
GE = Beigey????
WS = White????
SW = ???????????
BR = Brown?
RT = ????????????

This is gonna be what appears to be a REALLY dumb question, but:
What's the best way to take a tap off the wires?
I'm assuming scotchblocks are disparaged?
Cut the wire, strip back, then solder in a fly lead?
Where can I source a 6 way plug? Maplins?
I'm assuming I'll have to disconnect the battery first?

Solder.
Disconnect battery.
