Hi. Being new, and loving the Omega. Ill be have a few early post until i can get it now I want. so please accept my oppologies.
Looking at the stereo system CCR 2006. Is there any way of popping in a Aux socket or bluetooth adaptor to connect my phone? Has anyone done it, or know of a good place to get it done?

Is it better to change the stereo, and in doing so would I still keep the digital dispay (Range/Fuel consumption/stop watch) along with steering wheel funtions with an after market stereo?

Is there an Omegea stereo that already has this Aux function built in?

Many thanks

In a word No, in theory Yes, but you need to know what your doing and be handy with a soldering iron.

If you change the HU the MID computer will still work.

No.

Thanks for your reply. Easiest option is to change the HUMAN then. So being the next logical question. Are they standard double din, I'd like a tidy fit, without gaps. So any suggestions?

Fitting a Nokia CK7W hands free kit is an easy (and cheap) way to add bluetooth phone support to the CCR2006.

There is an Autoleads adapter that makes it plug and play.

Yea, sorry, read the post wrong, saw Aux In and wrongly assumed MP3, iPod, Stereo In etc.

So, as Andy says, for phone, there is a Mono input via a Car Kit adaptation.

If for phone calls, quite straightforward, even moreso if yours has the cellular aerial on the roof

If you're looking for music via phone/mp3/gaypod etc, its a bit more involved, and still not quite ready for primetime.

The Omega aperture is not standard Double Din, so needs a facia adapter to fill the gaps.  I've yet to see an aftermarket unit that looks anything other than utter crap (though I'm sure their owners would disagree), hence I still run Vauxhall units.

I chose my Clarion as it was the closest look to standard - has variable light colour and only a small screen.

If it's a stereo audio aux you want, you can, but as Zirk suggests, you need to be certain that it's the right choice as you lose the disc changer...

No you don't, you just utilise a DPDT switch.

Just to clarify. The idea for Aug or Bluetooth  would be found music from an android phone, not to answer calls. Sorry for any confusion.

In that case, back to my answer number 2, No, not easierly.

Or PIC controlled micro relay...  ...which reminds me...
