All advice gratefully accepted.

My 2009 Astra 1.8 auto Life model (basic) has this setup http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-ASTRA-MK5-H-2004-10-CD30-Stereo-CD-Player-/250875373624?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a69566838

Is it possible to replace it with this setup http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-ASTRA-MK5-H-2004-10-CD30-Stereo-CD-Player-/350485342941?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item519a8deadd

And get the new bigger screen to work ?

Thank You

Astra-H is CAN, so may need some Tech2'ing to get things working properly, assuming the car has all the other required modules for Check Control etc...

I see, what is missing is the usual trip displays average MPG etc. I did think this would be basically built in, but would just need activating (tech 2)

But I suppose I am just being naive

They probably would be, although may need enabling in other ECU's (due to the way that CAN works).  Its if you can disable 'missing' features that the screen expects that aren't present in the car.

Yes, it can, the screen will want a bit of reconfig but thats all.

Any other ECU's on the CANBUS need tweaking to tell them the screen has more features?

Thanks chaps. I suppose the tweaks require tech 2 machine. Would TB or KW be able to assist or do I go to dealer

Location?

We only have 1 CANdi between us, and MDTM currently has that, but I'm sure we could plan for it...

No, in fact, if you ever see a car with the three line display (not the two line as per above) all you need to do to enable board computer is up the config value by 1.
