  Android Head Unit Install Help
Posted by: cro55m - 22:nd-Oct-2020, 12:49:13 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Technical - Replies (13)

Hi All, 

I've managed to pick up a used Android unit for my Astra J, I've removed all the original equipment and read numerous threads on here and online regarding installation however I feel I'm missing something? 

The unit I have seems to differ from all the other units and I can't find anything online regarding what I have. 

The picture of the cable with the grey connector, I can't find anything that, that would connect too am I missing something that would split up the original big connector to then plug into my unit? 

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated or even better if there's anyone local to Blackpool who would be happy for me to pop round and I'll chip them something for their time? 

Thanks
Mike

Smile Astra J LED DRL Headlights Question
Posted by: Baz22 - 18:th-Oct-2020, 17:12:24 - Forum: Lighting - Replies (2)

Hi, newbie here.
I have an Astra J 2013 Ltd Ed which originally came with LED DRLs from factory (black insert headlights). This car had front end damage so both headlights smashed and I'm having trouble finding some for a decent price currently they're ~£120 per headlight in decent used condition. That's the least of my problems but need a solution, still have the Ltd Ed bumper to repair which is thermoset polyurethane. Thud

I was wondering if I can fit black insert headlights with halogen DRLs and fit LED bulbs (as per the thread already on this forum) without any errors?


thanks in advance, and top forum btw.

Question Blower issues
Posted by: Abc - 10:th-Oct-2020, 11:58:39 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (9)

Hi.
I have a really annoying blower issue which is made worst now we are at this time of year. When pressing the buttons on the dash to direct air flow travel it’s random and does not direct the air in the direction selected. So this time of year when I want to demist the windscreen I sometimes have to spen 15mins pressing buttons and random combinations until I eventually hear the windscreen vent open and the direction of air finally starts demisting the windscreen.
Can anyone help or give any advise before I decide to sell the car.

  Headlight downgrade
Posted by: Boris.t - 7:th-Oct-2020, 13:16:36 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

Hello,

I own a 2014 Astra J 1.6cdti, which came with regular halogen headlights and factory LED DRLs. The DRLs on the right side, however, have stopped working and I don't think there's a way to repair them, is there? Anyway, not sure I want to.

Here's what I'm thinking instead: I found a pair of good halogen lights with standard DRL bulbs. IMO, they even look better with white-ish bulbs than the stock LED DRLs (never been a fan of those). So, is it a straight swap? Also, are all light units the same, pre and post - facelift? 

Any input is much appreciated. Cheers.

  Broken wheel stud
Posted by: Euroshopper - 5:th-Oct-2020, 19:02:23 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Hello :P 

The wheel change company I used managed break one of the wheel studs when they remounted my wheels. Is this possible to replace? or do you need to replace the whole wheel bearing? 

From the looks on youtube from other car brands, it looks pretty simple, remove the disc brakes, knock the broken wheel stud out with a hammer, replace with a new wheel stud. Is this equally simple on a Vauxhall astra? Money is a bit thight so I would ideally do it myself if it's an easy job.

  What to buy?
Posted by: ALFRID - 4:th-Oct-2020, 23:16:51 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

Hi guys, I was hoping someone could answer some questions I have been wanting to find out. I have been looking at cars for the last 3 weeks and not a clue what to buy, and recently just started looking at the Astra GTC and I ain't got a clue what model to go for. I think my budget will get me something up to a 2014/15. I owned a civic type r up until 3 weeks ago and would love something performance wise not far off. I know there's the vxr but that's a bit out of my price range. so, here's my questions-

1, As above what do I go for? 2.0 Sri? 1.6i? I really don't know. I do fancy a diesel but what are they like power wise?

2, Do they have heated seats? I can't seem to find any info on the matter.

3, I would like to stream music via BT is this possible with a standard system?

4, I love my music and the speakers were very poor in the civic, what are they like in these?

5, And finally, what shall I look out for whilst looking for one? Hoping to have a look at a couple (hopefully I get some advice from you guys first)
