Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Omega Towbar Electrics..
« on: 11 November 2008, 19:19:55 »Quote
QuoteIve just picked up a 2.5 Elite with towbar and thought i`d benchmark it towing a horsebox compared to the Grand Cherokee.
However the lights ( any of them) on the trailer dont work in conjunction with the miggy being linked up, they all work perfectly with the Jeep towing.
So I concludethat theres a problem with the wiring or summit on the omega towbar.
Its got the towball and wiring thingy at the end with the 7? pins and all the fuses are fine.
So where do i go next to determin the problem? Is it easy to fault find at this stage or do i get it rewired...
I know nowt about electrics or towbars in case you didnt notice....
TIA

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Upgrading Omega sounds whilst retaiing head un

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Upgrading Omega sounds whilst retaiing head unit
« on: 25 August 2006, 14:28:13 »
Birthday time sooon.....wife wants to know what i want.
I mean what do you buy the man that has everything ...( Idea : Facelift 3.2 mv6)
Struggling for ideas then i though . o O Omega sounds.
Anyone got any recommendations for an AMP and replacement speakers that will fit in the original door housings, if i recall correctly the Omega speakers are quite shallow.
I dont under any circumstances want to change the head unit as i use the phone function on my crt700 often. I also dont like phone kits etc so it must stay.
Would appreciate any ideas

Sorry to see this and hopfully you get it sorted.

« on: 17 September 2008, 14:39:53 »
yep they are different for pre and post facelift and i think also for auto and manual.
I would only go for like for like personally - otherwise its going to be more difficult to work out if theres a fault or a compatibility issue if it doesnt work.
