Omega Electrical and Audio Help / What radio should I have in my car?

« on: 21 June 2009, 13:00:28 »

My 2.5v6 elite has the wrong radio cassette unit in it.
It currently has the ccr600.

The car has the blaupunkt cd changer & factory fitted telephone ariel stalk + it's a bose system.
What radio/cassette should be in their?

I slid out the ccr600 and the cage it sits in has the wires built into it as you can't see any wires, only sockets the unit plugs into so I believe the correct one probably had the same connectors on the rear too.

Just to note the ccr600 works ok but limited low volume control as some on here mentioned it would be.

Can now confirm cruise control is working. Pressing the on button didn't seem to do much but pressing the I button after the on button seems to activate it.

Have now fixed the fog light switch. An easy diy repair to be honest.

1. Lever out switch panel
2. Lever out fog light switches from switch panel
3. Lever off the switch button cap and remove the 2 x long springs. You will then see a white frame inside the switch with some clear plastic that provides the 'on' light.
4.Pull out sqaure clear plastic and the frame will lift and you can remove. At the end of the frame is a v cut in that accutaes on a lever that provides the clicking action. Inside the switch you will see a tiny spring lever that runs through this v channel.
The fault is the V channel. The end of the 'V' is slightly rounded off. I gently applied a hot scalpel to 're-shape' the end of the v so the runner would go into the right side of the channel.
Put it back together and it workd perfectly.

An easy job and a good tip if you have a similar fault.

Can you confirm both switches click?

I'll give the cruise control a try at a higher speed.

Cheers

1. The foglight switches----The front one of mine clicks in and out and works fine. The rear doesn't click and everythings ok as long as I hold my finger on the button but doesn't stay on when letting go. Is the rear switch click like the front??

2. Cruise control----- Was driving down a main road so I though I'd try the cruise control. Nothing, not a beep, light, click or murmur. Does a light come on with this? Any common faults on these?

Have to say I'm loving the car though, a joy to drive and comfy too.

It's definitely bose as it says so on the speakers. Can't see the amp properly as it's in a housing under the parcel shelf but it's a big black thing with loads of wires going into one location. Volume and playback is good and controllable at all levels.

Is their a direct replacement for the ccr600 stereo that allows the use of mp3's or mp3 cd's

Mine is the bose system and was wondering if their are any modern upgrades?

That's assuming the ccr600 isn't mp3 compatible

That's not so bad, a fairly easy fix. Better than having to trace dodgy wiring.

Just a couple of questions.
The front central locking on my omega seems lazy and intermittent although the rear seems fine. Is this likely to be lazy door motors? Or is this a common fault.

Lastly my rear fog switch doesn't latch, they work if I hold down the switch though. Does the whole lighting module get replaced or can you replace individual switches.? Front ones are OK.
