I have recently bought a 1998 Omega Elite. It didn't have a head unit fitted when i bought it. It has bose speakers and a bose amp, and from looking through the manuals, i can see it originally came with a phillips ccrt 700 head unit. I don't know if it came with a cd shuttle unit. Is there any other head units that will work with this system or does anyone have one of these units for sale? I have tried ebay but the only one on there is broken.

Many Thanks,

Darkers

The ccrt700 and its cdc2 (different from cdc2 for ccr600/800) are the easy option.

Only ever fitted to 1999 Omegas, so not hugely common.

I have one here, along with CDC2, but it too has a fault (every time you turn it on, it scans for radio stations, even though it has a load stored)

Thanks. I may be interested if i can't find a fully working one. how much would you be asking? If i did want to use a different head unit, is there any adaptor available to still be able to use the bose amp and speakers, even if it meant losing the display and steering controls?

ccr800 with its cdc2 (different to ccrt700 cdc2), but needs a bit of frigging on the wiring.

I have CCR800 with code and matching CDC2 (although may need the code for that £7.50 from Dave DND??) all good working order

My ears were burning !! Somebody talking about me and my ability to supply Code numbers?

Let me know when you can supply the winning lottery numbers please Dave.

LOL Dave, I must have 4 CDC2s in my garage that came from elites I stripped and not one of them came with the code...do you do a bulk discount? lol

Also out of interest...any idea if the insert in a CAR400 stereo which I do have the code for would work in a CCR800???

Insert?  Not quite with you ?

 :-?

The bit you take out and take with you (numbers 2-5??) is this the bit that has the code stored on it?

Ah! The detachable fascia.

Contrary to popular belief, this iss not the only part that retains a code number. The main code number for te unit is stored in the rear, and a corresponding code number is also held in the detachable panel, meaning that the stereo would require the correct fascia to be fitted in order for it to work.

There are many makes of fascia, that all appear to be physically identical and if you look closely at the back of them, they will have the manufacturers name on them. Blaupunkt, Delco, Philips, VDO, Siemens VDO to name the most popular ones.

You must never mix and match manufacturers, ie, a DELCO fascia will not function on a PHILIPS head unit as they are electronically very different inside.

However, if for instance you had a PHILIPS CAR400 with a missing display panel, and you inserted a different PHILIPS panel, it would come up with an error message of PANEL, but if the radio code was correctly entered, then it would reprogram that panel to go with that radio.

As far as miixing and matching fronts with different radio models within the same manufacturer group, I must confess to never having tried it - but my suspicions are that it may well work, providing of course that the fascia in question had the correct button labelling and configuration on the front.
