Lets talk navigation with opel cd:s!

[Åland]

:renntech:

I just bought a -99 996/C2 with the 8 bit system in. I later bought a 16-bit system with the original 2002-1 cd for germany so that one is now installed and running nicly with the old German cd 2002-1. Now, i am in Finnland and therefore need the scandinavia cd and not the german cd, + a little newer would be nice B) . When pushing AC-button and right button i get info: PONA642D and PCM/IDIS V3.85.. (the 16 bit nav system is a 996.642.122.12 so that one should be the latest there is before pcm2 came along).

I understand that the pona part is correct (PONA642D) by reading in other forums etc. but the pcm/idis should be V5.43 to be able to use the new opel/Vauxhall cd:s.. How can i upgrade to get this version? I heard that you need both PONA and IDIS right to make it work? is this correct? I also heard that only PONA is important?? Wich one is the importent one or is it both?

I bought the Navi from a guy that have used 2007 Opel cd:s for portugal in it, but i dont know what his IDIS version was.

I guess that his PONA was the same since i now have his machine and my understanding is that the Pona is for the Nav unit and the IDIS for the PCM (screen)??

Am i totaly out flying here or have i understood it correctly?

Please advice anyone!!

I'm bought at ebay a new opel cd70 2008/2009 scandinavia and waiting for it to drop in to the mailbox anytime, so it would be nice to get it to work with this.. Will this have the V5.43 in it?

Please post what you find out for all of us who have the 16 bit system! I am sure we would all love to purchase a disk that is less that 7 years old!

Hi Sylvan,

I sure will!

I can see there is alot of debating about this in forums, but there are no really easy understandible explanation.

You have to take a little from different places and add together..

All are correct in some ways but there are many that are full of missunderstandings also..

I hope to have a 100% solution in a week or 2, then i will post everything i know as clearly as possible for everyone to read and ask if they so want..

We are a few together who is finding a solution at the moment..

Sincerely

Åland
