  additional USB plugs on dash
Posted by: mrwup - 12:th-Sep-2017, 13:45:18 - Forum: ICE - Replies (1)

Does anyone have installed additional USB plugs on dash near or instead of cigarette lighter (or in other place)? if you do have it done, can you share some pics and some tips?

i am thinking of having 3 port USB hub connected to Android head unit and have extensions (something similar into the ones from below URLs) comming to center panel with fixed plugs. not sure if that will even work though.. but USB hubs are quite cheap (don't see the reason for usb 3  at least for testing if this would work at all.

round one (which i believe should fit into cigarette lighter hole, if you would decide to remove it for what ever reason) 

square one (i like this little bit more, but there is not much to choose from it appears)


  Inner Wing Lining removal help needed
Posted by: ed-b - 10:th-Sep-2017, 18:25:03 - Forum: Exterior How-to's - Replies (4)

Hi All

I have a 2016 Astra J GTC. I need to remove the inner wing liners (front and rear). I have checked the site and can't find a reference to this request. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Also, does anyone know if there is a GM workshop manual for this vehicle ? JCT600 have access to a parts catalogue and I was having a look at our local branch yesterday. It shows a breakdown of each part of the vehicle. Trouble is, I'm told that it's only available to dealerships. Does anyone know if it is possible to access this type of material from an alternative source ?

  Astra J Estate 2014 EcoFlex 1.7 CDTI
Posted by: Nuko-san - 8:th-Sep-2017, 22:57:49 - Forum: Cars for sale - No Replies

Hi Guys,
         Since I need to get an automatic (foot injury that left me with a long term health issue) I am selling my Grey Astra, it's an 2014 (63 reg) 1.7 Cdti engine (110bbhp) 52000miles had quite a interesting past, due to an interesting electrical fault it had the following replaced:
- the ECM with the wiring harnesses
- the whole fuel filter assembly (with the sensor) and it's harness 
- high pressure rail (with the hi pressure sensor)
- DPF regens 2x
- DPF sensors (both of them) - which was the cause of all problems

The car is quite nice - have been using it mostly on motorways (out of 10000 miles I've done since March I've driven over 8700 on the motorway)
Car comes with standard steel wheels, LED day lights, Cruise control, Bluetooth and the standard CD400 (was planing to replace it the the M072 unit, never got around to actually do it).
Got a new set of tyres on it (got receipts for those), and a full size spare wheel, installed an arm rest, replaced interior lights with LED added the HappyBlue 

Will advertise it on Autotrader on Sunday thought maybe someone here would appreciate the potential in it more.

I'll be asking for £6000 and most likely will sell it without the HappyBlue, here I'm opened for negotiations.

Photos on request 

I'm working in Hull at the moment so can kinda deliver the car between Southampton and Hull.

  H5754L or B5754
Posted by: mrwup - 5:th-Sep-2017, 14:41:44 - Forum: ICE - Replies (37)

So i am choosing Android head unit to replace stock one on Astra J. And it looks that i am stuck between two units from ICEBOX.

  • H5754L - this one looks to be older unit (A5754L) HW wise and with little bit lower specs, but is updated to Android 7.
  • B5754 - this one looks to have newer HW and little bit better specs, but is still running Android 6.
i would expect that B5754 version should receive Android 7 update fairly shortly, but there is not much where to read about it.
does anyone have one of these units (preferably B5754)? how do they perform? is there any strong reason why i should choose one over the another?

also how does FW upgrades work (specially when purchased from ICEBOX) on these devices?


  Carpet mat recommendations
Posted by: Big Dave2 - 5:th-Sep-2017, 13:18:56 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (11)

Can anyone recommend me some replacement mats for my 2.0 CDTi Astra-J?

I've currently got the genuine Vauxhall ones (Part No. 13334043), but just after 2 years the drivers side mat has worn a hole in it. The other 3 mats are typically still pristine.

The hole spacing for the floor peg fixings are 310 mm drivers side, and 340 mm for the passenger side. I understand that there are different mats, depending on what model J you have.

The genuine Vauxhall ones (Part No. 13334043) are coming in at around £45 on line.

There is another cheaper genuine one (Part No. UKCVA007) which are around £25, which I guess is thinner and not such good quality.

Has anyone bought non genuine ones, and more importantly are they any good in terms of wear and fitting?


  Navi 900 to I-link/MyLink 950 Wiring diagram
Posted by: Tylerrattv - 5:th-Sep-2017, 09:17:50 - Forum: Retrofit Research - Replies (7)

I want to upgrade my head unit to the I-link 950 unit.
So far i know its possible and have successfully changed the VIN on a MyLink unit out of a commodore (I'm an Aussie) and it does turn on and the radio works. 
I'm 99% sure that the units store the VIN on the same chip on all devices (made by Panasonic). 

I just need a wiring diagram from a Navi 900 and from a I-link 950 and then hopefully i can write a how to once i have done it. 

Thanks
