Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CCR 2006 code input

Well that didn't seem to work Dave.

I left the ignition on with radio on displaying SAFE for just under 3 hours - it still won't let me input a code.

Going to have to think again - trouble is now I doubt I'll have a day off for a couple of weeks!

Cheers for the replies guys.

I didn't realise it had to be left for that long, so I'll give it another try......or two.

Failing that I suppose a trip to Paignton isn't out of the question!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CCR 2006 code input

« on: 07 May 2010, 10:01:07 »

Guys, I wonder if I could pick your brains as there's something I'm a bit confused with.

My mig's just gone back on the road after open-v6 surgery and unfortunately the bloke who helped me disconnected the battery before either of us had given disabling radio security a thought.

I now have two problems - firstly in my manual I have two cards with different 4-digit codes. My friend has tried one of them twice unsuccessfully, so I'll assume it's the other one.
Secondly, when I switch the unit on it displays "Safe", but when I follow the instructions in the audio manual (hold AS and switch on - wait for beep) it just displays "Safe 7" and does nothing.

I understand that I have 7 attempts left before it's disabled (does this mean a new unit?) and I understand there are delays between each allowed attempt, but I just seem to be getting nowhere with it.

Any ideas or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated - whilst the purr of my V6 is now a pleasure to listen to, for some reason my wife prefers the Golden Hour!

Thank guys. That answers that question.

Incidentally - for those who use N-Series or compatible Nokias, there is software out there to allow you to connect to almost anthing. Nokia used to have a site call MOSH, which is now closed and merged with a thing called OVI. There was loads of stuff on there.

Cheers again.

No, definately no holes, and I can't trace the wire back without removing bits of dash.

I just wondered it there was a converter for my phone allowing me to plug it straight in.

Thanks.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Phone System

« on: 16 August 2009, 11:19:08 »

Good morning all.

I have a 2000 Elite 2.5 V6 Estate with a CCR 2006 head unit.
Despite a couple of niggles I'm very happy with the car - who wouldn't be! - but I have a question, and I apologise if it's already been answered but I couldn't find any info on the forum.

The car has a Vodafone ariel on the n/s/r window, and a lead that is tucked nicely into the glovebox. There's also a mic situated just above the mirror. Would I be right in assuming that this is an integrated phone system, and if so can I get an adaptor to fit my Nokia from somewhere? I have a bluetooth headset, but it would be nice to use an integrated system if it's there.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mick's right.
I have a brother-in-law with a 3-Series BMW and an S-Class merc. They both spend more time off the road than on - either with faults being repaired under warranty, or factory recalls.
Who says you get what you pay for!!!

What it is to know people in the right places!!

I thought it was "Not what you know or who you know - but what you know about who you know!"

Had an Auntie who had a place in Perranporth, and spent many happy weeks there. Sorry about your mis-fortune.

Xenophobia is definately a bona fide condition. The bloke who lives opposite me obviously suffers from it - I reverse into my drive at midnight-ish every night and he rushes round shutting all the curtains!!

I have the same with mine, and occasionally it will announce that the licence has expired. Just press the "Tm" button to the right of the steering wheel.

I'm 40 and I pay about £370 for the works on my 2.5 V6 Elite estate. I shopped around and could have got it a bit cheaper, but would have had to pay in one lump sum.

I would have crashed mine by now if it weren't for TC. The roundabout under J5 of the M27 is a bugger in the wet - even seen a Sierra Cosworth drifting it in the early hours!!

General Car Chat / Re: What MPG Do You Get????

« on: 16 August 2009, 11:33:17 »

I'm fairly surprised that mine is averaging 30mpg at the moment. On a trip to bonnie Scotland I got 35mpg with 4 adults and luggage.
I find it's worse if I don't let it warm up before getting on the M27 though, and the computer says it's more economical at 85mph than at 70mph. Somehow I doubt that the local constabulary would accept this as an excuse though!!
