Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Installing NCDC2015 + CID & Telematics

« on: 24 June 2011, 13:05:56 »

I fitted an an aftermarket gps antenna?, then ran this up to the window on the pass' side, worked very well.

Car is now broken (gone to the car park in the sky), but I removed all the bits - NCDC2015+CID and aftermarket gps - you can push the unit home and feed the cable slowly - watch your hands, as they can get sliced putting the cable in at first.

if you need any bits just send us pm, as need to shift em. (got no loom or tele bits - just re-wired to make fit my cd estate)

You can change them with a standard socket set and a pair of long nose pliers - if all goes well half hour max. Just don't apply too much pressure when fitting them, or you can strip the thread.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: DAB aerial

« on: 16 September 2009, 14:18:22 »

Just wanted to post up my results on a search for a good DAB external aerial.
I have now fitted a JVC..Hal 3 dab external aerial,which I bought from fleabay.
I removed the existing stub aerial from the roof rear,and using the existing hole fitted the new unit and feed the cable through headlining/down door pilar and along cill trim,then via a coupling flylead into the Highway unit.
To say the result is staggering is an understatement..reception is now 100% on every drive I have had over the last couple of days and it is a real pleasure to be able to listen to Planet Rock without any signal loss.
This is definitly the way to go and at a cost of £30=00 all in a real bargain.
Thanks to all for advise.

That's good news .  - what head unit are you using?

Are these bolts used to restrain the seat in the event of an accident?

If so then as the seat belt catch is attached to the seat they are considered to be part of the seat belt mountings.

The difference in strength between mild steel and the different grades of high tensile steel is astonishing. If the Homebase ones are mild steel then you may as well use liquorice

Hi, good call - will check and confirm. Regards

Did you have to use longer bolts as you do on he pre/mini facelift cars?

Hi, yes checked with vx after looking up in the parts guide - m8 x 38 (I think) - vx said don't know, after showing them in the parts guide which ones - said had to be factory order - two weeks. I got some 8x40 from homebase instead - works fine and they don't catch in the runners. Regards.

Hi Mate try this guide

http://images.omegaowners.com/images/faq/seats/elite_seat.pdf

and remember

Pins 1, 3 and 4 are live and pins 2 & 5 are negative. Using the existing wiring from the car, to the seats, connect live to pins 1,3,4 and your negative to pins 2 and 5. Hope that makes sense to you.

Final update - all now working, inc memory function. As per the guide, yes you need all the extra feeds and nice .. Many thanks.

Hi, many thanks - the quide I've now printed and got the correct pin layout. I'll take the current feed to the power and earth and run some branches off it to the other pins (I'll solder them while the seat is off) - thanks just wanted to double check that was all. Many thanks .. May the oof be with you

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / elite seats into cd model - 2 questions pls

« on: 04 September 2009, 14:33:14 »

Hi, trying to put elite cloth seats into my cd estate.

Pass side works, just connected and all is good.

 Just pluged in drivers seat and nothing works.

The new seat has all the correct conectors, including the connectors to the car loom .

1. With the seat just plugged in should there be any response, without adding the extra power to the memory unit.

2. To add power to the memory unit, can I just tap into the loom on the drivers side or do you have run new power from the battery (to fuse box, etc)

I have a copy of the wiring in the memory unit - I just exspected some response from the seat without any extra changes am I incorrect?
I've put the old seat back in for now while I looks for the answers.

Thanks in advance

Rob

Hi, I got one for my facelift mig which works fine. It has a right angle connector - so works with current cage (only requiring a small change to have some play with the cable when putting the unit back in place). Price looks ok, mine was 12quid. Regards
