Hi All,
New to the forum, I've just upgraded from an Astra H to Astra J sri. Wow two different cars. The J drives hellishly better than the H.
I read many posts where Tucpal has done some amazing mods.
This inspired me. First mod being Dab Radio, which I bought and installed. I have tried today using my op com to enable it but the program box is greyed out.
So is there anyone in the North East mainly Teesside area who could enable these and other features that can be enabled.
I'm really wanting my Nav 500 flashing to a Nav 800 or speed camera PIO added.
Thanks in Advance
Aks

The op-com is very limited. There is one person in Liverpool and myself in Bournemouth that can do programming.
Adding DAB will require to visits as you need to have a VCI requested.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Can you pm me contact details of who does it in Liverpool as that's nearer to me.
And can I request and get the VCI in advance.

Yes I PM you now.
No A VCI can't be requested in advance the car has to be plugged on and a VCAP file is created which then uploaded to GM servers.

Hi all
I made contact with Andy he kindly activated my dab unit yesterday without the need for VCI code, top man.
I now have a problem that i can not tune any stations in. I get the message searching no station found.
I have stripped the rear tail gate area and every thing looks good.
I have a CD 500 Navi fitted with a shark fin aerial.
I have all the modules etc needed with cables attached however the windscreen has two pins one is connected to module the other one is just a cable going nowhere. this is this normal.
I've tried several times to insert piks but it wont let me.
I do i insert piks?

I spoke with Andy last night and he has no idea what I was on about, are you sure it wasn't Adam?

As @Vocky has said that single wire needs to go to a DAB amplifier.

Thanks for your replies lads.
Will I need a third module as I have two already fitted. One at the top of the tailgate (MA) and one in the middle near the locking motor ( ZK) see Piks, there no scope to add any cables to these.
Below I drawn a schematic diagram of the wiring, if needed as chance of a part number
