Windscreen arrived yesterday, well packaged had a quick look and I do need to get the mounting bracket. Good news is it looks more like it just clips on as there are like little plastic poppers stuck to the screen already.
yes mate they just clip on

Yes mate I had look at mine this morning and it pushes up to come off.

Just need to find some cash to have it fitted and someone good to do it now.
I have a mounting bracket for the windscreen mate, came with my auto mirror. Don't know if it's any good to you?

Ahhh.... Worth a shot. If anybody wants it, then it's theirs for the taking FOC as I have no use for it.

I'll find out if vx will give the VCI code once I have the CD400 controls back from Baz as I need the factory unit back in.
Well the new Screen has been fitted guy did a top job.
cool so whats next ??
Just waiting for the Bracket and covers to arrive also the controls then I can request the VCI.
How have you gone about the wiring on this? Does your car already have the looms for all of these gadgets?
Just needed a new roof to mirror loom for this one.

Programming is next mate.
Very nice mate, can't wait to see it ready and working. Never seen this before!
cool good luck mate
I've sent off for the VCI code/s this morning.
Have you had any luck with your VCI requests?
Not yet need to re-request it as the guy at GM refused outright, I was gonna do it Monday when Lewis comes down but he's not coming now till next weekend I think.
Right I've re-requested the VCI code this time I've said no software is available so lets see what the response back is.

On a plus note I reprogrammed the radio and that download and installed the front camera software to it.
I ended up getting the same guy at GM seems he only knows how to say

Quote:this car is built without FCM. 


Support for Retrofit FCM is not possible.

Even after I responded to his email telling him the IPC and RADIO software had been downloaded and installed and I control the system from GDS2, and the fact the car has had AFL etc retrofitted which was not fitted at the factory.

I also told him if it can be fitted at the factory it can be fitted afterwards. 

I know this can be done it's just getting a VCI which this guy at GM seems unwilling to provide.
Some people are just jobsworths! Fingers crossed you get someone else next time mate!
Did you eventually get the vci codes mate?

Nope not as yet the system won't give one, I've thought of another way round it but need to find someone with the system.

from Zafira C and install in my car.
There is no point buying the front cam as GM will not supply the VCI code needed, I'm working on a work around but need to find the time to get to the guy who has the cam fitted.

What you have is not the front camera it's the High Beam Assist mirror.
VCI code and programing is not problem. I have one guy with MDI, and programed rear camera for car whitout VCI code.
I need electrical diagram and connector pins. I don't now where front camera is plugged.
You will need a VCI code for the front camera otherwise you will not get access to the needed software.

GM will not provide a VCI code.

did you get the factory reverse camera to work
if so how did you do this and did it just need activation with MDI and no vci codes thanks.
I don't know, I didn't do that. In Poland there's a company which provides that: http://www.autoflashonline.pl/#intro.
In Astra J there is programmed reverse camera estate 35 model.

Without VCI codes.
Thank you I will look later on
May have an update in a couple of weeks going up to see a lad who has front camera and is allowing me to program mine in his car.

Fingers crossed it works the BCM may need some extra software too but at the moment all its complaining about is the Camera has no VIN
