Hi All

Just a quick question if you could help me, I have a 2012 Opel Insignia with a standard CD300 Radio, I bought a CD500 Radio from a Vauxhall Insignia, the year is 2011 but I can't get it to work, the cable going into the back of the Radio control unit has only 3 wires in it and the Vauxhall had 8 wires, even the screen wont turn on. 

Do you think it is a waste of time trying to fit this or is there anything I can do to get it to work, I have a full CD500 radio there.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, can anyone use remote SPS to change VIN number on my PDC module and then program module to the car? I want to retrofit PDC, but i need to change vin and then program it. I have MDI.

Hi guys, anyone know a trick to open the diesel door that is stuck and wont open?

Thanks

"In comparing quotes, staff were extremely helpful and the price quoted was considerably less than my previous insurer. Thank you all for your professionalism working from home in these crisis times." Patricia Williams, Trustpilot

"A great insurance company - will beat or match any quote you get, they've beaten mine saving me around £75. However, the policy they gave had alot more with it as extras and great customer service - thanks again Chris Knott, thanks to Kim for all her help. Also during Covid 19 they lowered my deposit which was so helpful." Daniel Moreton, Trustpilot

"Best quote for my replacement Hyundai Coupe. Efficient and friendly even in these lockdown times." John Stephenson, Trustpilot

Hi its been bothering me a while that I cannot play music via bluetooth (especially when the missuses 63 Adam can!), the car is 15 Plate GTC SRI and has bluetooth functionality for phone calls, DAB and USB. Looking around some support it by pressing AUX twice but this doesn't work for me, am I just missing something?

What options are available to me? I've looked at aftermarket units but many don't support the ECO button or I lose some factory functionality such as DAB.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Looking to see if anyone is removing their android head unit in good order for a reasonable price, just the "single din" (ha) 7" type that leaves all the main buttons in place.

TIA

Dave

Hello all,

My name is Marcin. I have just signed up to this forum.

I must say, I have been following it since 2014, but only now I have decided to join.

Sine 2011 I have been driving Opel brand cars - firstly Astra J on 11 plate, later on another Astra J on 13 plate and a few years ago I bought an Insignia A facelift on 15 plate.

Myself and my wife have been happy with all those vehicles.

All of them have been great for long journeys.

Soon, I will try to post some pictures of our Insignia. She is quite well equipped.

Good to meet you all, guys.

Marcin.
