Am I right in thinking you could go to VX for a new screen and head unit, but they'd want £1000+ - or have they stopped doing them now?

CID from VX is around £1000 +Vat, I guess they would probably charge about the same for the HU.

This is the RGB cable you need to obtain:-

Not for the Omega its not......

The extra wiring is not to challenging.....

I'm guessing that the GID is CAN, similar to CCRT700 display, and the MID (being interchangable with older cars) isn't?  Which means a bit of friggin on the loom between them - easy enough if diag available though I would imagine

[zirk]

when you say RGB, do you mean reg green blue?

I take it that the cable is from the head unit to screen only and not around the car twice?

Im fairly sure you can make up a RGB cable by using a CD Changer rear Plug for the NCDC range.

That's the one for a Vectra C / Signum (So presumably the widescreen hooked up to one of the later head units). My mistake.

Just googled CID and came up with http://home.btconnect.com/nickargue/OmegaSatNav.htm

So i need a head unit and CID from the same car, or if from seperate cars then need to be in delivery mode.
I get the feeling that this kit can be quite rare and expensive  

I've heard rumours that if they come from same car they may not need to be depaired.

However, not sure if you'll be able to get your config on there, hence why I'd only recommend getting ones in delivery mode

That's my web site   . I origianlly fitted a GID/NCDC that wasn't depaired first and they worked fine.
I only had them fitted for a few months until I could source a CID so I didn't have any Tech2 work done to them so I don't know if that's possible.

yes. its about a 12/14 pin cable.

but, I think your larger cable may be wrong as well now....  ....not sure

You need to add the RGB cable which is a 12 way connector, and do a slight rewire to the 32 way cable and the radio connector.

having had a browse of http://cgi.ebay.de/KVA-OPEL-CID-DISPLAY-NAVI-OMEGA-B-VECTRA-ASTRA-ZAFIRA_W0QQitemZ250218154861QQihZ015QQcategoryZ76086QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem  and my wife to decode the German blurbe, the screen is readily available for £150 but the auction does warn that the correct radio is needed.

I may even contact my local breakers and tip them to call me when a flash elite arrives with a color screen and a special radio.

Just had a quick look at this. I think he's offering a screen repair for a fixed price of €198

Do you have the security code/carpass from the donor car?

No afraid not, I just took the screen, unit and wiring.

1 in 10000 chance of guessing right then, should ever you want to depair (eg, fit CID)....

I sold them as a pair a while back on fleaBay and replaced them with  a new CID and NCDC  

[rockhound]

The stereo itseld used to be £650, I know this cos mine stopped working and it had to be replaced at company cost:)

To make life easier to have an omega with sat nav why not buy mine on ebay
