How To Remove & Install - Siemens NCDC 2013 / 2015 Radio on Vauxhall Opel Omega, Vectra C, Signum

A tutorial guide on the process and items needed to (remove the original) and re-install the NCDC series radio head unit 2013 /2015. The video has been speedup a little but is still easy to follow....This was done on a 2002 model (Vauxhall Omega 3.2 V6 Elite - NCDC 2013 + CID - Colour Display). I Have also included pictures of the original factory fitted stereo to help you check if this is the same model as yours. You will need a Torx T8 size which works just as well as the appropriate allen key and once the grub screws are removed, You can now insert your 2 Radio release / removal extraction keys.
Similar units where also fitted on the Vauxhall/Opel Vectra C & Signum, ELITE, GTS, GSI etc.. These had a few different features but more a less very similar. Later cars such as the Insignia or Newer Astra would have post code search etc.. VXR / OPC variants would have had the logo on the standby screen. Also the NCDR 1100 where broadly similar etc..
_________________
The Omega was and still is an excellent all rounder especially in it's heyday, A large well built executive saloon with the top of the range model approaching £32,000 back in the day, It's also known by different names/brands across the Globe, Some cars having minor or major differences but at the end of the day these cars share something with the GM made Omega in some way or another....
Australia also had a version of the Omega more commonly known as the Holden Commodore that would be the closest relation to the Omega - In the UK Holden vehicles where badges as Vauxhalls with V8 engines only, The Monaro & VXR8 although the Monaro was a coupe version with a 5.7 V8 in its early form in the UK later getting the 6.0 V8 with the VXR livery, The most obvious characteristics shared with the Omega and Monaro I find are the lines on the side, the doors, and not forgetting the exact door handles off an Omega as are many other aspects of the Monaro I'm sure, While the VXR8 could be called the worthy successor to the Omega with a 6.0/6.2 V8 it never could replace it fully with just one engine, Plus they are rather expensive in comparison. At least they are likely to hold their value well...
The Cadillac Catera / CTS In America although the early CTS mainly shares the Y32SE engine as far as I know the ...no doubt it also shares other aspects of the Omega in some way or another, Also in South America they called the Omega the Chevrolet Omega.
Now probably the most recognised brand of the Omega.. The Opel Omega in Europe apart from the UK where the Omega is more commonly known as the Vauxhall Omega, The predecessor of the Omega was known as the Vauxhall Carlton In the UK although the most notorious model being the legendary once fastest 4-door saloon in the world in the early 1990s the Lotus Carlton.
Also the Omega was known as the Chevrolet Lumina in Middle East.
The biggest engine the Omega was given was the 3.2i 24v V6 - Y32SE - LA3 - 3,175cc Quad Cam producing approximately 218bhp the engine was also found in the early Vauxhall/Opel Vectra C / Signum - Similar Engine 2.6i 24v V6 - Y26SE - LY9 - With approx 178bhp.... Also worth noting the Opel/Vauxhall Omega was assembled in Germany while the V6 engines at least where built in Liverpool, UK.

I've upgraded to the ncdc 2013 and wanted to know what gps antenna would I need for the sat nav to work

I was removing the 2015 ncdc radio and the date does not match after reinserting. the time has set itself. I tried manually to set the date but as it was approved it was 2000. Help!

[@Sanyey]

most of us suffer from this, as date is set by the GPS module. They did some adjustments to global gps systems a few years ago, and these old gps systems get time data wrong from now on. If U wanna set ur date correctly, U must disconnect the GPS modul, to avoid the NCDC getting false date data.

And what about code? You don't need enter blocking code?

[@Sanyey]

not as long as Ur using the original color display for the NCDC
