  Locked CDC400
Posted by: Gavinsig - 5:th-Sep-2020, 16:22:44 - Forum: ICE - Replies (7)

I have a 2009 Insignia CDTI.

The CDC300 that was in the car when I bought it has now given up.  I have bought a second had CDC400 to replace it, also out of a 2009 Insignia.

I have managed to fit the new system but the screen is showing "Locked" and whilst all the non-radio buttons seem to work OK the radio does not work.

Can anyone please advise me on how to unlock the radio system on the new (to me) CDC400?

Thanks

Gavin

  ESP service message, erratic fuel range figures on trip computer
Posted by: mpotsb - 5:th-Sep-2020, 13:56:42 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

Dear All,

I have a couple of very recent issues with my 63 plate GTC 1.4 t and wonder if anyone can give me some advice.

One relates to the ABS warning light and traction control light illuminating on the dashboard together with an ESP service warning message on the trip computer. I think this might be a sensor issue somewhere.

The vehicle is running ok (ie no misfires, slightly slow pulling away like in a very slight limp mode when it gets to 2000 revs).

Is this an easy fix or something more sinister? Has anyone experienced this issue?

This has been closely followed (yesterday) by the trip computer showing erratic numbers on how much fuel is in the petrol tank. Started with a range of 130 miles left of petrol ( I believe this to have been the correct figure), then went down to 68, back to 111 for example. This was on the same journey which was about 3 miles.

Are the two linked? Might be the cars ECU?

The car has been recently serviced by a reputable mechanic.

  Astra GTC Horn issue
Posted by: ed-b - 4:th-Sep-2020, 17:05:00 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Howto's - Replies (5)

Hi Everyone

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong folder but I could really do with some advice about the horn on my 2016 GTC. Over the winter it started to work intermittently and, as it is getting worse (sometimes it works but mostly not) with an upcoming MOT in November I have decided to replace it. I have managed to get a replacement horn unit from ebay complete with mounting bracket. I have a copy of the GTC manual which seems to indicate that I need to remove the front bumper unit to get to the horn assembly. Has anyone ever replaced the horn on a GTC and if so, is there a faster way of getting to the horn or do I have to remove the entire front bumper assembly ? I'm good at DIY and have a set of ramps but, if you think this really is a job for a garage, I'm happy to do that. Just need some friendly steer.

Any help / advice would be gratefully received ?

Many thanks in advance

Ed

  Insignia Mk1 - Cd400 upgrade?
Posted by: Toboe - 3:rd-Sep-2020, 23:47:38 - Forum: Medium cars Astra, Cascada, Vectra, Monaro & Insignia - Replies (6)

Hi,

I have a insignia 2011 with cd 400 radio, im looking at upgrading it to a nav 600/800 or similar.

from what ive read (correct me if im wrong) but you need a matching screen, head unit and front panel as well as wiring loom for it, wiring loom needs connecting up and the radio coded to the car, is that right?

and optional extras are like the center console controller, DAB, Bluetooth and reverse parking camera modules, but these can be added to the system and dropped in at later date if wiring is put in?


is that right or am i completely off track?

rather have a factory fitted type system rather then a aftermarket and could do with knowing what to look for etc?

Thanks ect
tob

  Paint code location
Posted by: David` - 3:rd-Sep-2020, 20:35:36 - Forum: Request for information - Replies (5)

Hi, the 'vin plate' just says about tyre pressures and there's no other plates I can see with the paint code on as you get in other Vauxhalls - in the J is it located somewhere I've missed?

If not... Does anyone know what the colour and/or paint code is for my car please? Many thanks

  GTC DRL's on Canbus? and Best White LEDs?
Posted by: alexgibson - 2:nd-Sep-2020, 23:59:10 - Forum: Lighting - Replies (2)

Hi,

I dont have a great understanding of cars but own an Astra GTC 1.4T 2013 and want to change my DRL's to white bulbs as I have purchased white headlight bulbs. Having looked over the forum at some very detailed threads regarding bulbs it has left me quite confused. 

I have read on some that the GTC has a system called Canbus and that DRL's are on this system which could cause error codes but then on other threads that the GTC DRL's arent on this system. I was wondering if anyone could clarify for me in regards to whether these bulbs are on the system or not.

Secondly, I would like to place LED white bulbs as my DRL's to remove the horrible yellow/white colour. Having seen the threads I believe that my bulb is W21/5w (580). I was wondering what the best white LEDs that are out there which would fit and where I can get them. 

Kind regards,

Alex

  factory alarm
Posted by: roger_nl - 2:nd-Sep-2020, 17:58:09 - Forum: Retrofit Research - Replies (5)

Good day everybody,

New here on the forum.
I'm Roger from the Netherlands and driving an Astra H OPC for 11 years now.

Currently I'm looking for a young Astra J OPC to replace my current H OPC. There is an interesting one standing in Germany, which I will visit in the upcoming days to check it out.
It is a near full option one except for the factory alarm. (don't know why, because it is one of the cheapest options available...)

So here my question. Is it possible to retrofit the original factory alarm incl. sensors and deadlock? Will there be anything prepared as a loom or nothing?
(I really really hate aftermarket alarms with al their irritating sounds and light shows etc. so that will never be installed anyway Smile..)

Hope to hear from the experts.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards, 

Roger
