You cannot use standard MID with CCRT700, they are very different electrically, and the protocol they communicate is completely different.

If you want a phone, a nokia bluetooth kit  wired in to stereo is an easier, cheaper option, and ultimately probably more usable, depending on how good your phone is bluetooth.

But not even half as cool and groovey... eventually I will find one... The other half of the question is, assuming the CCRT700 has been replaced in a car with an after market head unit, and therefore the radio side is now no longer in use.. will a normal one work in its palce for the trip computer and clock functions? as I may have found one but its in a car!

Going to be a long time then, none in my local scrappy, and when one does appear I think the MID is the first thing to go... unless you get it the minute it comes in think the corsa owners think they can wire them in!

Does anyone actually know how the two types of MID actually work? It might be possible to interface to the ordinary one, afater all the only extra bit is the signal indicator. Are they both CAN? if so it should be possible. Does anyone have the pinouts for both?

SO where can I get one of those from? looks a bit bugetronic compared to the full size version! and how differnt is is? TBH as long as it works I can live without the signal strenght.. have they changed the whole way it comunicates with the MID or just added bits to it?

Also I supect the original MID it was working with is still in the car it came from, so would a standard one work in its place? (if so I might be able to get it)

Is all the phone stuff in there factory fit? Why do you want to fit ccrt700?

I want a propper in car phone with no dangly wires or hand sets! no idea if its factory or not but I suspect not, mind you the traffic master looks decidedly aftermarket, but is suposedly fatory fit!

So that MID I bought, what is if for? it appears to have 2 symbols on it that mine does not.. one is a phone the other is a circle thingy..

If you want phone, there is the aerial to sort, and changing the courtesy light for the ccrt700 one, and a lot more wiring.

Err not another bit I need? may I ask why? as I have a mic up there already.. I have found a lot of an in car phone kit still fitted, mostly an aerial, RF amp under the glove box and the afore mentioned mic so I am not sure what other bits it would need.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / WIring diagram for CCRT700

« on: 06 March 2008, 10:55:31 »

I now have the short loom from the back of the CCRT700.. I was sort of expecting somthing slightly differant...  basically one that had a some extra wires and the standard ISO's to plug into the existing loom and with the extra wires dealing with the phone side of things. Inspection reveals this not to be the case It has the 2 standard ISO's and a big red connector from hell. So what I now need is a wirng diagram for the CCRT700, and one for the CDR500 (whcih is what I have ATM so I can make up a link loom with what I ahve and sort out the rest. I am assuing the MID (?) is much the same. The car is a '99 2.5 CD pre facelift.

Assuming the wires have much the same colours for the same functions I can get it working, but I would like the extra nice bits!

Or is there a second peice of loom between the drivers footrwell and the back of the peice I have?

Omega General Help / Size of NON AC 2.5 V6 drive belt!

« on: 01 March 2008, 19:27:06 »

Does anyone know what size the non AC drive belt is? My car has snapped 2 AC belts inside a week, this is becuse of what looks like some emissions gear that keeps rubbing on the belt. I don;t have time to look into why, so want the non AC belt which will keep well away form this.

Omega General Help / Re: Power steering problem

« on: 23 February 2008, 20:46:49 »

Well got it changed and its all working fine now. All I can say about the Haynes manual,,,, rip the page out and throw it away, as there is no need for half the work it claims. Take the ducting out, remove the the coolant hose above it, take pipes off, undo three bols from the front of the pump and it's off!. Only one niggle, the pump I used was from a 16v omega, so I had to drill out the threaded holes and would have change the pulley if I could have got the thing undone.. so it currently has the slightly smaller diameter 2 litre pulley, which should not effect much, but the slightly incresed spin rate might have made the PAS lighter!

Well I have aquired a Pump, however on reading the manual it seem to think I have to take the AC pump off? has any one found a way to remove it from the top? (like I did with the car I took the repalcement pump from! although that had no heads on it) I really do not want to disturb the AC having just shelled out to have it all sorted out.

Possible, but I'm not so sure, as I had a worn pump on anopther car, and that just got heavier over time. How does the speed sensitive steering work?

Omega General Help / Power steering problem

« on: 21 February 2008, 20:13:12 »

My power steering has developed a fault, at parking speeds it feels like it has ABS cutting in!, this gets faster as revs increase. While manouvering it appears as though it has no power steering at all till you rev it. It does feel like a slipping belt, but this appears not to be the case as the belt does not squeel, although it does look a bit old. This appeared today, the system is full and the fluid clean and there are no aparent leaks would anyone know what is causing this fault?

Omega Gallery / Re: my jaguar sovereign

« on: 24 February 2008, 22:25:43 »

Nice car, but it's got the wrong shape bonnet and lights, should be round lights, like all good Jags

Oh no,that's how you recognise it is a true sovereign or Daimler. This is from the time that the round lights equals entry level model....

Although the interior would stop me from having one again, they are still the most comfortable and best handling car I have driven of the big saloons on the horribly bumpy english country roads...

 That's not true my Ex Father-in-law had a top-spec Daimler with round lights, Jaugar change the bonnet and lights to that type, so to update the model and in doing so upset so many of their customer's,  they changed them back

All sov/daimler XJ40s left the factory with the square lights, although it is easy enough to change them for the round units. As for the fordised X300/X308 vresions.. yuck, look like an SIII XJ that and elephant has sat on the front of. The XJ40 was the last good looking XJ. IMHO the XF is just horrible and the S-Type is just a tarted up lincoln. I do wish I still had my 3.6 XJ40 Daimler

General Discussion Area / Re: High octane?

« on: 02 March 2008, 13:36:30 »

I lived in Iowa and then California for many-years and both states have 87 RON and 91 RON std. at the pumps.....in Iowa they also have 10% Ethanol-enriched 95 RON.
I used all the major-brands of 95/91 & 87 RON fuels in my trucks and cars then (big and little engines) and did not ever notice much 'real-world' difference in performance/economy....or perhaps electronic fuel management is very good at disguising any shortcomings?

Would U.K branded-fuels be formulated very differently from the US types?

Actually there is very little differance, as US fuels octane ratings are PON not RON, and 87 PON is about 95 RON
