Has anyone every fitted an omega fitted sat-nav system to an omega which hasn't, at the moment my TC traction control button is where the screen normal fit's. an idea's

[TheBoy]

Either disconnect the TC switch, move switch to buttons above (you can get the small TC buttons, but rare).

But the Carin system is old. Much easier to use a portable nav system such as tomtom/navman/garmin etc

I agree. My car Elite has the Carin as factory fit, and although the system does work & gets you to where-ever, the newer systems are far easier to use and have a much clearer display. Sat-nav has come along somewhat in 7 years.

Jim if you do decide to fit the Carin system I have a small TC button you can have.

[Hillper]

This is my solution:

Make one of these.




Attach a Tom Tom One.




Stick to dashboard screen.




So much easier than retro fitting a satnav.

Edit.  I usually stick it over the tacho, so I can still see all the warnings and indications.
After all, what use is a tacho in a non-manual 2.2, right?

But you probably will cos you just can't resist it.

Aye, your right there, I've just picked it up on Saturday and guess what your helping me to fit it when I come up the road next week

[x25xe]

does this mean that you can change the TC switch next to the radio for a small one that goes in the row of switches?  This is a question that I have been meaning to ask but not got round to it.

If you can simply change the switch, that would be great.  Is it the same connector for both?

[TheBoy]

Its likely you'll have to move the wiring as well. The switches are different - the small switch is much less common...

Is the TC buttom the soft touch type fitted to the later pre-facelift or the rippled type fitted to the early type omega's.
