HOW TO FIT AN ANTI DAZZLE REAR VIEW MIRROR.

You will Have to find a Second Hand Auto Dim Mirror on eBay
If you can get the Small Loom that Goes too the Mirror
and the Console in the Headliner with it Also as it is needed.
 
If not go to your Local Dealer and Order one as you do Need it
you wont Need the Surround as this Can not be Fitted to the Glass
Unless you Replace the Front Windscreen.  



Remove the Console from the Headliner
There are Three Panels to Take off
Then pull the Light Unit out.





You will Then see a Connector Attached to the Roof
This is the One you will Need.



Connect the new Loom to this Connector
Pull the Other end of the Loom
Through the Front of the Headliner Toward the Mirror
The Picture of the Loom Below is the One you Need
It will Have Three other Connectors on it
For the Rain and Light Sensors
That go to the Mirror Surround
As these were Not Needed i Cut them off
but you Don't have too if you Don't want to.







Remove the Plastic Cap that Covers the Mirror Screw
that hold the Mirror onto the Windscreen
Take the Screw out and Remove the Old Mirror
A Toque (T20) is Needed.





Then Refit the New Auto Dim Mirror
And Plug the Connector in Place.



You now have a Working Auto Dim Anti Dazzle rear view Mirror
so when a car Drives behind you at Night the Mirror will Darken
so you don't get Dazzled by there Bright Headlights.

This worked Plug and Play on MY11 Spec car
but Remember it only Works in the Dark
when the Sensor Activates and Turns the Mirror on.
i Believe Fuse (15) in the Rear Fuse Box
Supply's the Power for the Mirror to Work
The Three Wires are
(Positive), (Ground), (Reverse Light Positive).
If it wont Work just Ask
I know off Another way to Wire it.  



You can Add a sun Strip to the Front Windscreen
to Hide the Small Wire that will be on Show.



AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL HOW TOO,S.
you do this at your own risk if you follow the how to correctly
there should be no problems thank you.  

...........USB RETRO FIT FOR THE CD 400......



Yes This can and has been Done but Again this is a Very Hard one to Follow and to Do
And this really is a big job you will be removing everything to do this one
your best bet is to get this Done by Someone who knows How Too
Rusty2009 or Vxmods on Here can Supply and Fit the USB for the Factory Retro Fit
But it is Expensive for what it is
Programming and VCI Codes will also be Needed.

Here is the USB and AUX Sockets on the Storage Tray



The USB module is located just to the right and above the accelerator pedal
And is held in place by a bracket and one screw.



Here is a Link too the USB Kit Needed and A How To Fit it Guide
but i do Believe that Two Wires are Wrong in this Guide
It has Something to do with the Audio.

USB Part Number, 13397904.

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=...397904.pdf

For this Option The USB Retro fit
I think Money would be Better Spent on an After Market Head Unit,
with USB and Bluetooth, SAT NAV, ETC Combined.



BUT YES IT CAN AND HAS BE DONE...

[COLOR="#FFFFFF"]Model year from 2013 (13 plate) that has cd400 will not support
any factory retrofits unless the radio has an ident of - UZZ

if usb is already fitted then the radio will support the aditional
Retrofits provididing the radio again is ident- UZZ[/COLOR]

BLUETOOTH.....



This is the Factory Retro Kit
For the CD400, and the  NAV,500,600,800.etc



It works Exactly the Same as Factory
because it is The Factory Bluetooth kit.
it is a plug and play kit that just plugs between
the connector on the back of the head unit
Then plugs into the Bluetooth module
and the Microphone goes to the light console in the headliner
but you will need to find you own Bluetooth module
as it does not come with the Retro fit kit.  

Bluetooth can be Done but the main Problem with Retro Fitting it yourself
is the Loom Needed for this Has to be Made
Its not That easy to get the Connectors, pins, MIC, etc  
you can buy the kits Ready made from Germany
but you will hit a brick wall with the Dealers they will not program it or give you the VCI codes
Some have got lucky and they have Programmed it but that is a chance you take.  

Your Best bet for this is Just to Get it Done by Someone who has the Kit
and will also Provide the Programming and the VCI codes that are needed
Vxmods on Here can Supply and Fit and program The Bluetooth
At around £280 Including Fitting and Programming VCI codes etc.

The Factory Bluetooth Module Goes just under the Head unit
and is Held in Place by a Cradle

Module part number, 13353284.

CRADLE BRACKET, Part Number. 12768522.

Screws x2 for cradle, Part number. 11589015.

DAB receiver/Ariel, Part number. 15938939.

Microphone, Part number. 13242355.





The Microphone Sits in the light console in the headliner.



I have had factory retro fit Done and it is excellent
And I am very happy with the Retro fit Bluetooth.





OTHER OPTIONS..................

I would Consider an After Market Bluetooth Options like this one
its a Bit cheaper and no Programming or VCI codes are needed so thats a bonus
I have Heard Good Reviews so far about this.



https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=15&cad=rja&ved=0CKEBEBYwDg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.incaroem.com%2Fvauxhall-opel-fully-integrated-bluetooth-handsfree-kit-with-a2dp-p-336.html&ei=oc4HU8TiLvP07Aa00oCYBA&usg=AFQjCNGgxkj9_qfcRJZIrRojeSj9Tp2-Fg&sig2=t4j2I0YfLn9gtcWgaY0qhw&bvm=bv.61725948,d.ZGU

I think Its the Best Bet Money wise .

But an After market Head Unit
with Bluetooth, USB, and SAT NAV
Would be money Better Spent again.



BUT YES IT CAN AND HAS BEEN DONE,...

Model year from 2013 (13 plate) that has cd400 will not support
any factory retrofits unless the radio has an ident of - UZZ

if usb is already fitted then the radio will support the aditional
Retrofits provididing the radio again is ident- UZZ

this is for the NAV500 and 600 that have the FM already in Place
And the Shark Fin on the Roof for the Sat Nav
But do not Have DAB.

If you have the CD400 go to the CD400 DAB how to.

So if you have the NAV500 or 600
And you have the Tabs in Place on the Rear window
then you will find the one for the DAB is a Dummy
just put there in Place to make it Look nice.

Remove the Trim from the Tail Gate
you will see all the Receivers are There for the FM
So you only need the DAB Receiver (ZA)
And a 1 Meter fakra Z Cable
Going from the Receiver (ZA) to the Double Female Connector
In the Roof Right hand side just under the Headliner
just follow the Cable from the Shark fin to find the Connector you need
it will have one coming from the Shark fin for SAT NAV
and an Empty Slot that you need for the DAB.  



Thread the Fakra Z Cable 1 Meter Female too Male
From the Receiver Through the Tail Gate
to the Right hand side off the Headliner.



See the Blue Plastic on the End of the Male Connector Pictured above
you now have to Remove the Blue Plastic Case and just Leave to Metal Pin
so Gently cut the Blue bit away Leaving the Metal Pin inside and in tacked
it is the Metal Pin that will Connect to the Double Female end in the Roof
i do not have a Picture of the Connector Striped or of the one in the Roof
so if any one can send me one it would help others.

You now need to get the DAB Module and Connect it up to the Exiting
Connectors in the front Foot Well just above the Accelerator Peddle
you are looking for the Black and Green Connectors there.





The Module is held in Place by a Bracket
That you must also get and one Screw
once you have that all in Place
you are now Ready for Programming and VCI Activation
You will have DAB Radio



DAB Module Part Numbers are
for the (Astra J 13319590 UBT)
and for the (Astra J GTC 13362385 UBT.)
the Cradle for the DAB unit is (GM 13263525).

AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL HOW TOO,S.
you do this at your own risk if you follow the how to correctly
there should be no problems thank you.  

This is a How for Factory DAB and Integrated FM and Shark Fin Ariel.
for the CD400 with out the Rear Glass Already in Place.

If you have The NAV500 or 600 Go to the How to for The NAV500/600.

So if you have the CD400 Follow Here...

The first thing you are going to have Get is the Tail Gate from a car that has DAB
it will have to be Complete with Looms in Place and not Cut
As all the Looms will be Needed to Swap Over to your car
The Receivers for FM and DAB will also be Swapped as well as the Glass.

By far the best way is to Buy the Tail Gate in Good Condition and the Same Color and Just Swap it over
At around £250 Complete Is about the Wright Price for that so its the More Expensive option Here.

the Tail Gate that i got the Panel was Damaged so i got the Lot for £75
Plus £50 to Swap the Glass from the Tail Gate to may car.

You can just Skip the Glass and Tail Gate
If you want and just Buy a DAB and FM roof Mast Ariel
but again there not Cheep and for a Good one there around the £100 mark,
if you do go with this Option just skip the First part and follow the rest.  

STEP ONE..........

Get a Tail Gate and Remove the Glass first
i found a friendly Local Mobile Glass Fitter and got him to Remove the Glass first
as most of the Looms that are needed are Clipped in Behind the Glass
so you can not get them out Complete with the Glass in Place
i called him back when i had Swapped the Looms over to Refit the Rear Glass to my car
when i had everything in Place.



Note this is the Main Connector from the Tail Gate to the Body Loom
the rear washer Hose also Joins up here and must also be Disconnected
it just Pulls out and Pushes back in but be Careful it does not Leek when Refitting
its best to Remove the Interior Boot Trim to get Access to the Location
off this Connector just above the Fuse Box in the Boot
follow the FLEX floor Thread for Trim Removal.  



STEP TWO...........

These are the Tabs you will need on the New Glass for the FM and DAB Receivers.  







STEP THREE.........

This is the (FM Suppressor ZA) and Connects up in between the Heater Matrix.
 


STEP FOUR........

This is the (FM Module ZK) the Black Fakra Z Cable 1 meter
And goes to the (FM Receiver MA) at the Top of the Glass
The white Fakra z Cable 2 meters will go too the
Existing Female End of the FM Ariel Cable in the roof
that you unplug from the old Roof Mast Ariel.
   


STEP FIVE.........

This is the (FM Rreceiver MA).
 


STEP SIX.........

This is the (DAB Receiver ZR)
A 5 meter fakra z Cable Female to Female
will run from here to the front Module.



STEP SEVEN........

Both the farkra z Cables will run Through the Right Hand Side Gator on the Tail Gate
One to the DAB Module
And one to the FM Cable.



This is the old FM Cable unplug it
And Reconnect the new FM Cable from the Glass.  





You can now Remove the old Roof Rast Ariel
And Throw it away as this now has no use
the FM will now work from the Rear Glass
so you can now put the Shark Fin on top
this has no Function apart from Looking Good.



That's the FM all Working now.....

This is the Point were you can now Follow
if you went for the DAB FM Roof Ariel Option..

You will need a 5 Meter Fakra Z
Female to Female Cable
one end will go to the Roof Mast Ariel
Or the (ZA receiver) on the Rear Glass
This Cable will go to the Front off the Car
And Come out very Near the Bonnet open Catch
in the front Drivers Foot Well
If you have a feel just Behind the Trim Behind the Bonnet Open Catch
you will Find a Blue Male Double fakra Connector.



One side will go to the DAB Module and one side is Blank
Join the Double Female End to the Double Male.



Place The single fakra Z Male End to the Female 5 meter Cable from the rear
the small Wire in the Photo below is not Needed.  



You can now fit the DAB Receiver
Located just above the Bonnet open Catch.



You will find the Green Connector and the Black Connector
just above the Accelerator Peddle
Connect both too the Module
the Module is held in Place by a Bracket and one Screw

Your are now Ready for Programming and VCI codes.
The DAB will now Work,

DAB Module Part Numbers are
for the (Astra J 13319590 UBT.)
and for the (GTC 13362385 UBT.)
The Cradle for the DAB unit Part Number is (GM 13263525.)

Once you have all your parts you can then set about fitting the flex floor system
The first thing we need to do is remove everything from the boot and lower the rear seats.





We then need to remove the black pin from the top of the trim (there is one on each side)



Next remove the rear trim panel (simply pull at the bottom and once it's unclipped pull upwards).
*Take care not to break any of lugs that hold the clips like I did*



Then unfold the bracket





Once you've done that pull the trim out so you can get behind it, you will need a 7mm socket here there are 2 bolts to undo





Now you have a bit of room there is a metal clip holding a bit of trim on use a tool and get it in-between the two and prise them apart.
*You might be able to do without taking the 7mm bolts out but I found it quicker this way*



Once you have it starting to come apart then just give it a good hard pull and the other end will follow



Remove the rest of the trim and replace the two 7mm Bolts you removed.



Fitting the bracket is simple there is a metal holder that the bracket sits over





Bracket in place



then put the bolt in



Then fit the new piece of trim



fit the bracket cover



Refit the seat belt trim



Repeat for the other side.

Once you've done the other side fit the rear trim



Fitting the flex floor is an ass and will take two people, sorry not many pics of this.

you have to use a lot of pressure to get the pins to clip in then you use the bracket and screw to hold it in place



In and fitted



The dog loves it too
