Stubborn nobility sounded better than sentimentalism... ;D

Joking aside, if it gives you the functionality you desire, whilst maintaining the factory look, then it can only be a good thing. No :-\

Looks amazing! Keep it up, looking forward to seeing more  :)

So what I'd like to know - is it possible to fit a CID in place of a MFD in a 1996 car, which can do all the reversing camera stuff etc.. but also display the data of the MFD? Or, to put it another way - can I have any colour screen 'hacked' to fit in the Omega, but still display the data of the MFD? (given that CIDs are somewhat rare)
As in...


It has the CID, but I've not put any non standard inputs in the back of it yet.

Oh, and ignore the CARiN on the left, that's been taken out, obviously, soon after I fitted the NCDR1500 due to better satnav on the NCDR

Cheers The Boy :y

Once I've got the trifling things like getting the engine to idle, get the front suspension replaced, found some steelie wheel and tyres, Mot'd & taxed, sold or given away the Turbo Weasel, then I can start playing!

I'll keep my eye out for an NCDR 1500, then  :)

Yeah the finish on those buttons doesn't chip off at all, does it. ;D

you'll struggle to get a 1500 paired with a cid, (in fact you might struggle full stop,) so will most likely need to buy each separately. In which case be sure to get the pairing code for each unit, and that each unit is de paired before buying. :)


This means only buying from sellers that know what they are doing and have tech 2 available to de pair the units. This makes it even more difficult to find suitable de paired units, sadly.

(NCDR1100 has the wrong icons on buttons for telematics use)

That's tosh, its currently in the Battlebus, as it was easier to fit that than decode the cdr500 that was in there ;D

Doesn't this result in losing the Computer side of things :-\
As it stands, Yes, and the stereo information.

I am planning to use a raspberry PI to pick up the warning inputs, temperature and the fuel MPG.
