  Tyres
Posted by: Elad1962 - 12:th-Oct-2018, 17:16:54 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Hi guys, I will soon need to change my tyres on my GTC Biturbo. The size is 245/40/20. Any recommendations for a mid-range summer tyre that won't break the bank?


  Hi from Oxfordshire.

Hi,
I'm from the Oxford area and have just bought a 2011 diesel 2litre SRI.
Looking at putting the bluetooth and usb connector in to make use of the "spare" buttons on the radio and steering wheel. Seems to be (a common thread) plenty of info about on the site so hopefully it won't take long to get sorted.


  Change oil soon - can I ignore it for about 1k miles?
Posted by: umognog - 9:th-Oct-2018, 08:47:24 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

Ok, prepping for a trip down to Alton towers leaving tomorrow, and this morning it change oil soon popped up.

I'm about 650 miles round trip, add on 300 for miscellaneous other driving, looking at 1k miles before I can get back and do the oil change (procrastination will be the end of me)

  CD400 Plus - what does the “Plus” Add?
Posted by: GordyC - 8:th-Oct-2018, 21:36:30 - Forum: ICE - Replies (9)

Hi folks,

Pretty much what the title says...

I’m about to collect a 2015 SRI GTC next week. It has a CD400 Plus stereo fitted which gives DAB but not Bluetooth.

I’m struggling to find what additional features the Plus model has over the standard CD400 stereo. Even the online user manuals don’t explain any extras.

Do any experts on here know the differences?

Also, I’m looking to add the Bluetooth module (from Ray Smith in Dunbar, Scotland). They also provide OEM parking sensors which SWMBO desperately wants. Looking at their website it’s £430, including painted sensors (where required). Is this reasonable for the parts?

I can fit the BT module myself but the sensors I’d rather have fitted by a professional. What’s a reasonable price?

Thanks for all your help.

Gordy

Hello folks. I’ve just bought a 2015 Astra GTC 1.4T in white which I collect in a week. Looking to do some small mods. Was disappointed that the CD400 Plus didn’t come with Bluetooth so my 1st mod will be getting the BT working (though it is steep at almost £250!).

Also looking to add aftermarket parking sensors (not paying OE prices) and upgrading the front lights to white as possible.

I’ve had a good look around the forum and already have some other ideas.

Thanks for the help so far and adding me!

  Headrest for middle rear seat passenger
Posted by: benawhile - 6:th-Oct-2018, 16:07:59 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (7)

Hi
My recently purchased 2015 Astra J Hatch has no headrest for the middle back seat passenger.
Would anyone know of an aftermarket/retrofit accessory that can be fitted to do the job? I have seen these:

but not sure if they would fit may car.

  Astra J Coming Home Module / Key Signal Diagram
Posted by: EricMod - 2:nd-Oct-2018, 17:10:47 - Forum: Retrofit Research - Replies (9)

Hey there guys!

I wanted to retrofit a Coming Home Module for my Astra J (A16XER).
The aftermarket Module needs a „door open“ signal to trigger the relay inside of it. I looked up in Autodata and searched the Internet but I cant find any useful information unfortunately. All I know is, the Body Control Module (BCM) should process the Signals but there are many cables to measure them all for my needed voltage signal.
Does somebody know or has a Wiring diagram/Pin assingment picture or something like that?
In the best case it should have a (short pulse) 12v Signal and no Canbus Data signal.

Thank you guys in advance!

Best regards from Austria,
Eric


  Where to find standard head units

Hey all, 

I have a '16 plate SRi, when i brought it has a DriveAuto head unit. 

Does anyone know where I can find a 600/650/950 to put it back to standard? 

I have been using a newer corsa for a bit and have found android auto enabled system to be perfect for me and i would like to go back to one of these standard units and use it?

Could only find this on ebay:

Any help would be appreciated!
