Hi Iv got a 2014 Astra GTC Auto, I’m after some advice, Iv spoken to Vauxhall themselves and they want £300 for a replacement gear knob.

The rubber on my gear knob has worn and split, also in the recent snow my car got stuck and while flicking from reverse to drive to rock the car out of a ditch the button on the back of the gear knob has snapped.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for a more reasonable price, and how to fit the replacement.

Many thanks

Jay

Came across this today. Basically it is a usb dongle which plugs into the Android HU and gives you a Carplay / Android Auto type interface on the screen via an app. Looks pretty good and costs about 50 quid.

Anyone here got one?

rather than top up the fluid, I guess it would be better to change the fluid,

I've read the workshop manual instructions online which seems fairly straightforward until the part where it says

Hi there. I know there's a few amazing threads and how-tos showing how to upgrade to a touchscreen HU, but I had some questions:

My 2013 Astra J has the Navi 600 with the colour screen. I've looked at the options available for example in the Android Auto section of caraudiodirect (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/head-units/android-auto). Can one of these just be swapped with the current screen using a new surround and the relevant loom, or does it have to go where all the controls are and I n

Hi all, my gear shifter has broke, the button on the back has come off and a grey plastic piece has come out, is there any way to reattach this? Been to Vauxhall but they want £280 for a new gear shifter.

Hi all,

I'm looking at if/how to add in auto-adjustment to the side mirrors whenever the vehicle is put in reverse to point further towards the ground (well, any user preset position recorded.)

Does anyone know the types of motor used in the mirrors already? Need to figure out if I need to add input sensors, or if the motor is a step-control and I can read the step info instead?

Bought myself an Astra J Elite Mirror with the auto dim function, This is to fit on the Meriva B. Just doing my research so i can connect it properly to the BCM to get the signal for when its in reverse. 

It came with a rain & light sensor, but from another user on here It needs to have the SD Code on it :( so might try and sell the sensor. Would like to fit auto lights and the rain sensing wiper thing.
