What are you going to use to drive it.....an NCDC1300?

It cant be driven from a standard head unit as it uses a CAN bus interface and RGB feed...

It would need one of the NCDC range, and one capable of driving CID....

Not seen a single DIN version, but I guess they make them for some models, but would these ones be capable of driving a CID?

No it doesn't....the adaptor os capable of driving the basic displays....but not the complex ones....

Have you managed to source a CID then?

Ow yes, the NCDC 1300/1500 are single DIN nav units....

Yes I have bought one, and conected it & took to Vauxhalls, but was told it wasn't compartible.

Originaly I was told it would work. Paid a lot of notes for it.

If that means on screen gives the option for English & German comes up.

Somebody on eBay was selling their Omega B and had the DVD running though it.
