I know for fact that the display and head unit need to be changed in the same time
Actually thats a bit of a myth that is causing major problems in other Vx cars - if the radios are not depaired and paired correctly the to parent car, it can cause serious ECU and Tech2 issues.
The CDXX range of later VX units all require CAN to switch on.
However . . . . .
It may interest you to know that the later GM "Touch and Connect" systems from the Corsa actually powers up and functions on the bench from a normal 12v supply. Some form of Speed signal is still going to be required, but I would reckon a lot easier for you guys to hack about and find a solution to than the CDxx stuff - added bonus is that the unit is self contained with SD card mapping and a single DIN unit behind the dash to aid installation.
