VXOC Astra-J/GTC

This is a How for Factory DAB and Integrated FM and Shark Fin Ariel.
for the CD400 with out the Rear Glass Already in Place.

If you have The NAV500 or 600 Go to the How to for The NAV500/600.

So if you have the CD400 Follow Here...

The first thing you are going to have Get is the Tail Gate from a car that has DAB
it will have to be Complete with Looms in Place and not Cut
As all the Looms will be Needed to Swap Over to your car
The Receivers for FM and DAB will also be Swapped as well as the Glass.

By far the best way is to Buy the Tail Gate in Good Condition and the Same Color and Just Swap it over
At around £250 Complete Is about the Wright Price for that so its the More Expensive option Here.

the Tail Gate that i got the Panel was Damaged so i got the Lot for £75
Plus £50 to Swap the Glass from the Tail Gate to may car.

You can just Skip the Glass and Tail Gate
If you want and just Buy a DAB and FM roof Mast Ariel
but again there not Cheep and for a Good one there around the £100 mark,
if you do go with this Option just skip the First part and follow the rest.  

STEP ONE..........

Get a Tail Gate and Remove the Glass first
i found a friendly Local Mobile Glass Fitter and got him to Remove the Glass first
as most of the Looms that are needed are Clipped in Behind the Glass
so you can not get them out Complete with the Glass in Place
i called him back when i had Swapped the Looms over to Refit the Rear Glass to my car
when i had everything in Place.



Note this is the Main Connector from the Tail Gate to the Body Loom
the rear washer Hose also Joins up here and must also be Disconnected
it just Pulls out and Pushes back in but be Careful it does not Leek when Refitting
its best to Remove the Interior Boot Trim to get Access to the Location
off this Connector just above the Fuse Box in the Boot
follow the FLEX floor Thread for Trim Removal.  



STEP TWO...........

These are the Tabs you will need on the New Glass for the FM and DAB Receivers.  







STEP THREE.........

This is the (FM Suppressor ZA) and Connects up in between the Heater Matrix.
 


STEP FOUR........

This is the (FM Module ZK) the Black Fakra Z Cable 1 meter
And goes to the (FM Receiver MA) at the Top of the Glass
The white Fakra z Cable 2 meters will go too the
Existing Female End of the FM Ariel Cable in the roof
that you unplug from the old Roof Mast Ariel.
   


STEP FIVE.........

This is the (FM Rreceiver MA).
 


STEP SIX.........

This is the (DAB Receiver ZR)
A 5 meter fakra z Cable Female to Female
will run from here to the front Module.



STEP SEVEN........

Both the farkra z Cables will run Through the Right Hand Side Gator on the Tail Gate
One to the DAB Module
And one to the FM Cable.



This is the old FM Cable unplug it
And Reconnect the new FM Cable from the Glass.  





You can now Remove the old Roof Rast Ariel
And Throw it away as this now has no use
the FM will now work from the Rear Glass
so you can now put the Shark Fin on top
this has no Function apart from Looking Good.



That's the FM all Working now.....

This is the Point were you can now Follow
if you went for the DAB FM Roof Ariel Option..

You will need a 5 Meter Fakra Z
Female to Female Cable
one end will go to the Roof Mast Ariel
Or the (ZA receiver) on the Rear Glass
This Cable will go to the Front off the Car
And Come out very Near the Bonnet open Catch
in the front Drivers Foot Well
If you have a feel just Behind the Trim Behind the Bonnet Open Catch
you will Find a Blue Male Double fakra Connector.



One side will go to the DAB Module and one side is Blank
Join the Double Female End to the Double Male.



Place The single fakra Z Male End to the Female 5 meter Cable from the rear
the small Wire in the Photo below is not Needed.  



You can now fit the DAB Receiver
Located just above the Bonnet open Catch.



You will find the Green Connector and the Black Connector
just above the Accelerator Peddle
Connect both too the Module
the Module is held in Place by a Bracket and one Screw

Your are now Ready for Programming and VCI codes.
The DAB will now Work,

DAB Module Part Numbers are
for the (Astra J 13319590 UBT.)
and for the (GTC 13362385 UBT.)
