It is a Renault in reality, even has Renault on the rear door glass. Engine is Renault as is the gearbox, in fact the whole van is built by Renault in france, and Vauxhall have one the same, called the Vivaro. The main difference is price, as mine is about £2000 cheaper than the Vauxhall, and about £1000 cheaper than the Renault.

Actually the vivaro, traffic and nissan are made in luton by a company called IBC using renault engines. The factory is right next door to the vauxhall factory and used to make the frontera. I know the vivaro uses a vauxhall radio, but dont know about the others. This message was posted from a WAP device

what difference does the hce 26 make? does it mean you dont need the external speaker supplied with the hca 60.
has anybody tried fitting one of these kits to a stereo system with an amplifier ie bose is it more difficult?

YES... How do you interface the HCE-26 to a DECK car stereo, meaning a head unit (minidisk in my case) that only has Line Outs and the system has Amplifiers...
How can we get line out from HCE-26? I suspect that you have to use ONLY the wire (that comes with the HCE-26) that connects to the HCA-60 and forget the rest of the HCE-26... The only thing to find out is the coloring/pinout of that particular cable...
Anyone knows?!

@fonque
Opel Astra's have ISO connectors as far as I'm aware so the HCE-26 should just plug in.
And yes, you'll need to purchase a holder for your particular phone. You should be recommended one when you purchase the HCA-60 as a mobile holder is NOT included.

@ttman
Yes, the HCA-60 external speaker becomes redundant, but then you didn't want to listen to your MP3's in MONO thru a 2 Watt speaker anyway, did you?

@PowerPlayer
Basically, the HCE-26 allows the car speakers to act as the earhones would; therefore the sound quality is determined by the phone and NOT the Car Stereo amplifier or any external amplifier you may have fitted. As such the only way to improve sound quality with this type of installation is with better speakers/speaker cable.

However.....

If you want the phones MP3 files to play thru your amplifiers, I recommend the MMC-60 RCA cable connected to the Line-IN sockets on your aftermarket headunit. I expect this could be used in conjunction with a HCB-300/700.

I have a MMC-60; sound quality is average at best. HCE-26 is primarily for better sound quality and convenience during phone calls not music playback. The best solution for music playback is A2DP via a Sony MEX-BT5000 / MEX-BT2500 or Pioneer 7900BT headunit or similar. A2DP accesories are available to upgrade your existing headunit using RCA or front AUX IN connectors with varying degerees of success. And then there are the FM transmitters...
