VXOC Astra-J/GTC

Hi all, 

I'm new to the Astra scene, had a Corsa C for my first car and was a cracking little car for what it was! 
Had a few random cars between then and now, Jaguars, Range Rovers, a few bangers recently -_- and now picked up a 2014 Astra J, 1.6 Design petrol model! 

Haven't picked it up yet but will get a few pictures once I get it, pretty standard apart from front and rear parking sensors which I believe were optional for the year, pretty chuffed with that though! 

I'm not a stranger to retrofits, I've retrofitted Bluetooth into the x type Jag I had, a heated front window into a Transit, cruise control into a Combo van and the later ACC sensor on a Mk7 Golf that hadn't been done before! ... I do have an opcom I've had for around 9 years now but not sure if it's working... think I blew it earlier this year sorting a mates VXR! 

Hope I can help some people and pick up some advice on here... I will probably be looking to at the minimum add Bluetooth, as the CD400 standard model is fitted and after a bit of browsing Bournemouth is only an hour away from me Rusty!!

Cheers!

Hello and welcome.
you're right there are lots of great upgrades you can do but a lot do need the car to be programmed to work

Oh yes tell me about it! Luckily I work in IT so understand that too!

Pickingf the car up tomorrow morning so quite excited!

Welcome to VXOC.

hope you got the car ok and are happy with it.

Thanks Rusty, have just sent you a PM regarding the bluetooth!

Got the car OK, surprised how basic parts are but overall can't complain!

That's good news.

Yes some bits are basic I remember when I picked up totally different from the car I test drove my buttons in it I spent hours after getting home just playing seeing what each button did.
