okey dokey.  Its about 1.5 inches deep x 4 inches wide and displays in orange.
Currently it sais top left " 13o'c
top right it has the time.
Middle it has the date.

Under that a long Orange line and under that "BOSE"

Ok, its a GID.....so it did have an NCDC and you cant do anything with a stalk.

[TheBoy]

I'd happily swap a MID for a GID

But not sure the stalk wiring is in place  :-/

It means that it is a 'Graphic Information Display'. The NCDC satellite navigation systems use a different display to lesser Omegas (either GID or CID 'Colour Information Display')

You either need another NCDC system to drive the graphics display OR you need to fit a normal MID character display BUT you will need to get the replacement MID coded for your car and the wiring might not be present to connect the display to the stalk.

[TheBoy]

Oh Duggs, why do you live in the back of beyond

Need to check wiring diags to see if a standard MID can be added.  If it can, I can program up a MID for you in return for your lovely GID

[TheBoy]

Seen the photos, its defo a GID.

But how could it have ever had a Navigation system..there is no where in the dash for it to go ?

So are you suggesting that at somepoint the cars been mucked about with...baring in mind the AMP seems to have gone also.

The GID is the Sat Nav display 

Arrows / Junction Layouts + voice commands

Its on the display, and nav controlled by radio

Okey doke. So as is, I can't run through the various computer stuff.

Can I ask this...Will the display I've got warn me if anything is wrong, such as oil low, brakes bad, washer or coolant low etc etc

Yes. But you can't acknowledge it.  So for eg, if washer fluid is low, you can't get rid of message (except by topping up).

PM sent btw

[duggs]

He he he....least I'd know...

Would love to know mpg/consumption etc etc though.

[Lazydocker]

Looks like I hit the nail on the head when we spoke then I'll have a good look for you when I get a chance if you like

TB... If you fancy a run over this way there's always a spare bed here

i have 2015, same as your old 2013 but with phone unit(telematics)in the glove box. It also has rain sensing wipers. Point being, there is no need for ANY buttons on the wiper stalk with that equipment. All head unit functions are handled by stearing wheels controles ,on mine at least.

I'm not familiar enough with the model years to say how yours should work but with that head unit. Should be the same? Stearing wheel controles should operate the computer still i would think?

[duggs]

Well..as mentioned, I can't flip through any of the computers functions....not from the steering wheel OR the stalk.

NOT the end of the world BUT as I can on my 1998 CD, twas hoping I could on the 2000 Elite also.
