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.

Excellent, glad it all worked out for you !!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: REAR BLIND FITTING

« on: 21 July 2009, 19:10:31 »

hi does any one know how hard it os to fit above to a cd model 2001 i had one in the cdx and found it useful for keeping the car cooler

Remove parcel without blind. Refit parcel shelf with blind, plug it in & fit switch ..... so they say!
I've removed my shelf/blind ages ago, & the only problem was a bit of stray rear screen glue was holding he shelf in too. It gave in in the end! 

yours should have the wiring already to be honest and is just a case of out with the old and in with the new and connnect the wiring..

Dont forget to get the switch in the dash to work it though

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: what speakers for my cd 2.5 v6

« on: 06 May 2009, 19:36:51 »

infinity components in mine  

6.5 inch in the front ( the tweeter in its normal place )
5.25 in the back ( 18mm of mdf needed to pack it out )  
if you look at the back of the door card, you will see a circle scored in the card about 300mm from the bottom close to the centre for the tweeters  


100% agree with this set up....well done that man my choice also
cross overs sit in the space where the armrest goes if you cut some of the polystyreen away

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: bose vs standard?

« on: 28 April 2009, 20:17:04 »

20 years or so ago, the BOSE was considered to be a very worthwile improvement over the standard setup, and 20 years ago, it was worth spending the money on it.

Whatever your opinion on how good the sound may be, the technology and equipment are still 20 years old, and aftermarket audio has evolved considerably over the years and has way overtaken the BOSE system.

A good set of aftermarket speakers will put the BOSE system to shame, a quality set of speakers and a small amp will blow your mind!

Agree 100% and  personal taste for me...... Infinity Kappa components  will give a far better mid range  then the age old speakers from Bose

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Where do i buy some super bright xenon H1 hulbs?

« on: 25 February 2009, 09:12:10 »

I can recommend Phillips  X-TREME bulbs, i have tried various different bulbs in my wifes Nissan Note and i found these to be the best for Performance, bear in mind these dont give the blue tint other bulbs do as these are for performance only not show and give a very bright white light. Cost was £18.00 for a pair.

Omega General Help / Re: TYRES

« on: 19 September 2009, 18:48:43 »

first time i have heard someone say Dunlops are quiet. What on earth did you have on their before Andy?

Have had a couple of Dunlop models on my car, sp(?)9000, and Sport max(?). Both borrowed on wheels from members here in an attempt to diagnose my tramlineing issues, ill spare you the story, for once, but they  made a marked improvement in accuracy of the car, something Dunlops are renowned for it seems. They where well past their best as well.
 The price seems to be a bit more road noise, and er, the price of course.

But for that money, dont think you could go far wrong. Esp if your previous tyres where louder....

Another note, recently spoke to a guy getting over 30k from michelin primacy. Expensive tyres but for me thats 2 years driving. Not so steep over all.

Anyway having paid 370 for crap falken 912s that looked like they would struggle to do 15k. Yours look like a winner, by some margin....... Bar the noise of course. :-) 

Sports contact 3 now fitted to mine, very pleased. :-)

These Alloy's had Toyo's on before and were very poor in the wet to be honest, bearing in mind the power mine puts down i was expecting more

That ain't a bad price at all!  I used to have SP Sport 9000's on my Astra GSi, and they seemed fine.  But they were only 16's.

Can't grumble at that price either - got 225/55/16 Goodyear Eagle F1's on my Miggy, at a cost of £96 a corner...  Blinking good tyres though - loads of grip (in the wet or dry), minimal road noise from them, and hardly any tramlining.

To be honest so far so good, the grip on take off is so much better wet or dry and the road noise is far better also.......

look's like a good choice so far
