  PDC on VXR front bumper
Posted by: Hummelshøj - 8:th-Apr-2017, 20:24:55 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (7)

Just ordered a complete VXR front bumper. It dosen´t have PDC option. PDC was not an option on the VXR.

Mine comes from factory with PDC. Has anybody fitted the PDC sensors in this bumper and where.

Maybe someone has a good idea how to fit the sensors.

All inputs are welcome.


  Buying a GTC
Posted by: BenSXI+ - 8:th-Apr-2017, 08:48:23 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (5)

Hi Guys,

I'm currently driving a 06 Corsa SXi+ and am looking at getting a GTC soon to replace it (good choice? )

I take it it'll be a significant upgrade?!
I'm looking to spend around 9/10k a couple of months from now, but am finding it hard to choose between a SRi and a Limited Edition?
I want all of the interior upgrades in the SRi, half leather standard etc, but also want the VXR-line body kit on the LE?

Which is it worth getting? I guess it'd be easier to retrofit the LE body kit to the SRi than all of the interior options from the SRi to the LE?

Just looking for a little guidance and info (being a Corsa man atm after all)

Cheers


  DRL bulb holder
Posted by: ronnierae - 7:th-Apr-2017, 10:01:53 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (15)

Hi, upgraded to led DRLs, (2l GTC SRI 3D 63 plate) which aren't working. Is it possible that I may have put the plastic bulb holder in the wrong way or will it only go in one way, if you get my drift.? Not with car atm so will try after work, just thought Id ask before I knacked them trying.
Thanks in advance
Ronnie


  Installing 2013 intellilink nav unit and trim on a 2010 Insignia
Posted by: i.rosca - 7:th-Apr-2017, 10:00:37 - Forum: Retrofit Research - Replies (5)

Hey guys!

I am interested in fitting an intellilink nav unit from the 2013 facelift Insignia on my 2010 Insignia.

Essentially, I want to go from the one on the left to the one on the right:


(image take from: http://www.auto-news.de/webcore/data/con...rticle_EXT)

I am not really interested in getting the intellilink to work because I plan on gutting its innards and replace it with a mini or flex atx motherboard and basically install a small linux machine that I will use to program my own radio unit with all the goodies that I will ever need, and if I can't reverse engineer the touchscreen to work, I'll hack another in its place. 


The reason I want to do this is because I want to connect this linux machine to the OBD port of the car and have the possibility to display sensor readings and fault codes straight to the unit's screen. (I'm also tired of fault codes popping up in the middle of a long drive only to have it disappear by the time I get to a dealership where they inevitably tell me they couldn't find any fault code.)

I could do this with the stock unit but the new one looks cooler and I'd like to keep the stock one as a backup.

To summarize, what I need to know is:

  1. Will it physically fit (do the mounting holes / clips line up; is it the same external shape etc.)?
  2. Will the air con controls, hazard lights, traction control, parking sensor and lock / unlock buttons work or what is needed to get them to work?
Thanks!

  VXR or Half Leather interior including center console
Posted by: ali2487 - 6:th-Apr-2017, 17:40:30 - Forum: Wanted - Replies (1)

Hi guys

I am looking for a 2dr VXR or half leather interior with center console - the handbrake is not electronic. 

I'm also looking for some VXR alloys and possibly front / rear bumpers as well as side skirts. 

I may be interested in purchasing the NAVI 600 if someone can do it for a good price.

Thanks in advance.


  broken cd400
Posted by: jamesh7168 - 6:th-Apr-2017, 14:03:17 - Forum: ICE - Replies (18)

hi, i have a gtc 1.7cdti and it has a cd400 :( it has been working fine since i got the car about 6 months ago then i noticed last week when i plugged in a memory stick into the usb to play music it froze, the radio works as well as the cd and even the aux but when i go onto usb nothing plays and it is stuck on one song 00:00, i went to a vaxhaull specialist who told me to disconnect the battery for 5 mins and re connect it and this could reset it but if that doesnt work its because vaxhaulls need to update the software on my radio.

the battery trick didnt work so i rang vauxhall and they said it will be £80 to just look at the car cus it is out of warranty so i obviously said no. Is there any other way of fixing this issue that anyone knows of? 

thanks in advance

james


  New Guy's Head Unit Question
Posted by: Nuko-san - 5:th-Apr-2017, 15:42:34 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (5)

Hi Guys,
           Fist thing first it's my first post so be gentle, I was looking into changing the rubbish CD400 for one of the android head units got two in mind but dunno which one to choose:

http://www.iceboxauto.com/vauxhall-opel-...id-44-m072

http://www.iceboxauto.com/opel-astra-j-2...d-60-b5754

anyone know which one to go with?

there's an obvious difference in hardware:
One's 1gig or fam and 16gig of storage
the other one is 2gig and 32gig respectively
different version of android (4.4 vs 6.0) 

But since the difference in price is £1 ... anyone has experience with those?

Cheers

  Fly eye lens wrap
Posted by: ronnierae - 4:th-Apr-2017, 21:15:37 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

HI, can I ask if anyone has chanced there hand at tinting the rear lights on a J 3d with lens wrap, thinking of giving it a go but looks like there may be too many facets on the lens for it to wrap around neatly. Any experiences?
Regards
Ronnie
