Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Few electrical questions and car phone/bose

Recently there have been a couple of Omegas advertised on Ebay as Elites, when in actual fact they were probably CDX's from the equipment on them.
It is feasible that a leather interior from a CDX has been put in the car to replace cloth interior which would explain the lack of electric seat controls and no heated rear seats.
Do the door cards have leather trim pieces above the arm rest / window controls, or are they cloth? Not everyone changes the door cards when adding leather.
I would not have thought it was a problem identifying which head unit is fitted as they are subtly different in their appearance. The audio handbook is the best place to see the differences.

I think you are on to something the bit between the armrest and the door handle is cloth but the car has elite badging on it on the sides and has every elite option on it which I will list:
Automatic rear view mirror
Xenon headlamps
Heated front seats
Illuminated vanity mirror
Rear passenger reading lights
Rear window blind
Cruise control
Rear spoiler
17 alloys
Bose stereo with amp
Sunroof

Very strange

Car is definitely an elite and has the the Bose subwoofer on the rear parcel shelf.

In terms of the telematics being being paired up, surely the sos button functioning means they are paired up? Wouldn't this work at all if it wasn't the case? It could be a case of the buttons but it it does not ention this in the manual.

I've noticed some elites have heated rear seats and mine does not. The front seats are leather and only have the height up and down button and everything else is manual so very weird.
I forgot to add the car is a 2.2 diesel.

Hello thank you for your responses

I tried putting a Vodafone SIM card in today and nothing happened and the Nokia box only illuminates when I press the SOS button and it says make emergency call on the display, and that dosent go through either. The call buttons on the unit take me to the sat nav as well.

I will work my way through the guides the lights that come on of their own accord is driving me mad this car has a mind of its own!
Zirk: it's definitely a 2013

2013 doesnt have call buttons, 2015 does, on the 2015 the call buttons are the 2 to the right of the keypad, on the 2013 the same buttons are marked differently and are Sat Nav buttons, one of them is a Alternative Route, other is instant 'Take me Home' if the home address has been programmed into the Sat Nav Memory.

Something is a miss then, if yove got a 2013 with telematics, I wonder if it been swapped or someone has changed the front Fascia.

There are basically the same unit but the 2015 has some different button features which are more geared towards the telephone side of things.

On the Vodafone Sim, does it give you Network Signal on the Display (Top Right), GSM Aerial ok?, what you got Saloon or Estate, could also try Manual Network Selection, its all in the Manual, have a read of the Owners Manual its quiet comprehensive, if you dont have one you can download it here -

Something is very amiss, the green and red buttons which I assumed were for calling actually have a house legend and tries to activate the satnav further confirming it is a 2013.

When I insert the SIM card I don't get any network signal on the display. The car is a saloon and I cannot access any network settings as all the buttons take me to the sat nav again.
This confirms it's a 2013 according to the manual yet the telematics is definitely connected allowing me to press SOS call and showing up on the colour display and I have the option of ending the call with the rotary knob.

I had a look at the guide for model type and another strange thing about this car is that it has every option incl. Leather heated seats but they have to be manually operated with no electricl function.

Hello

I have bought a Vauxhall omega elite and it has a few  electrical gremlins.

Firstly, the bose driver's speaker is not functioning, I have altered the balance to confirm this, is there anything I can do to test the wiring and fix this? There seems to be no sound coming out of the tweeter as well.

Secondly, I have a Nokia telephone box with SOS button in my glovebox and was wondering if I could use this and if it still works all these years later or connect my phone to it somehow?
Also I can't use CD RW on this player but can I use a CD RW on the top slot only instead of the CD changer will this damage the stereo? Is there a way of playing music from my phone without FM transmitter?

Thirdly, is there a way of altering the brightness on a colour information display?

Fourthly, while driving, sometimes the left hand light from the roof randomly comes on and requires me to push the headlamp knob in then out to turn it off. Also the sunroof seems to have a mind of its own and goes ajar then closes itself randomly. None of the buttons on the roof light turn any of the map lights on and I can't test the bulbs as they are impossible to pull out 

Fifth: the knob to adjust brightness for the dash lights does not spin is there a fix for this?

Sixth: passenger side heated seat does not work/light up is there a fix as I'm unsure it's fuse as driver's side works.

Thank you for your assistance it is much appreciated.
