I bought one of those Tesla style headunits a year or so ago, tried fitting it but never managed to get it working properly so it's sat in the garage ever since. From memory (its been a while) all the connectors connected fine and it powered up etc, but there was two problems I could not fix

1. Bluetooth never seemed to connect up

2. The main one, I could never get sound to work. Back then I did do some reading up and found the amp needs switching on which meant connecting a wire from someone (again this was a long time ago now), for example pin 47 or something like that, I did this but still never managed to get it to work.

Has there been anyone else fit a headunit with the Infinity system in their GTC? Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Any help would be much appreciated and sorry for the vague descriptions, I have not tried since as I know without a new plan of attack I won't get any further than I did last time.

Hello guys.

I am sorry if someone already questioned about this. So i own Astra J 1.6 turbo SIDI 170hp with code A16XHT. I wonder if the "updated engine A16SHT with 200 hp is the same , but only different software. I talked with a guy in the local dealership and he told me it's just software " these extra 30hp" . Sooo, can somebody give more info about this .

Hi now I have changed a lot of oil in my time, and have always renewed the sump plug washer or o ring, but just lately I have come across always renew the sump plug ? when doing an oil change, on web sites and tv shows, any ideas where this is coming from or opinions on the subject, me I think I will stick with renewing just the washer/o ring

hi everyone new to here so thought I would introduce myself

Anyone there having similar problem. 

I had recently installed rear view camera that fits where the rear light is, just above the number plate (Astra elite 2011). All wires set up and camera triggers on when in reverse gear.

The problem - the button on the car stereo faceplate (Volume and option) & steering wheel control works perfectly prior the use of rear camera. Once I active the rear camera via the reverse gear the screen views the rear and after disconnecting the reverse gear the camera turns off bringing to normal screen, but I cannot use the volume and option button in head unit (Sony XAV AX3005DB)nor steering wheel. Only home button works in the head unit, the music can be changed via the touch screen.

Anyone have any idea what is causing this? Seems like something gets switched off inside the head unit.
If I turn the ignition off and on again, I can use the volume, option button and steering wheel function.

Hi all

I'm purchasing a 2014 GTC CDTI on Monday and upon testing the bluetooth it only has functionality for phone calls and not to play audio. The Stereo is a CD400+ I believe.

How would I go about upgrading this to play bluetooth audio and be able to use the steering wheel controls with this? I'm not after a new unit for navigation/parking cameras or a nice touch screen etc. Just want to be able to play BT audio and use the wheel controls with it on the same unit I have now. 

I'm also completely useless with fitting stuff so would require someone to do it for me, I assume you'd need some new cables and to maybe programme the unit (you can tell I'm an absolute amateur). If anyone has any ideas and how much this would cost for someone to do it all and any recommendations for who's the best person to do this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
