As the title says I'm fitting a Vauxhall Signum Travel Assistant to my 3.0 Elite, It's a armrest fridge with fold out table, for the rear passengers, check out the pictures:

I think it would look not so out of place in our MV6, seats are a similar shade of grey to the Travel Assistant.....

Interesting idea mate

:y

I agree, I think I will actually finaly fit it to my 3.2 facelift elite as the leather in that is the same shade as the travel assistant

My rear passengers would not like it  - too uncomfortable to sit on ;D ;D ;D ;D

You could get an MP5K in it, or a couple of Glock pistols ;)

Is it the same profile of the rear seat base in the Signum as the Omega? It looks quite close but I can't tell if it is exactly the same or slightly out.
Is there any drilling or self-tapping required to fit it into the Omega?

I'II post some pics, there is 2 holes to drill into the floor

Thanks; I really like the idea. A fride would be so handy.

Is that to keep the toilet paper nice and cool Jim ;) ;D

Jim. If you're only securing it with two screws at the floor, wouldn't it fly forwards in a shunt?

The 2 holes that I have to drill in the floor are for 2 bolts which hold a bracket in place which the travel assitant clips onto and connects to the power socket :y
I'II post some pics tomorrow!

True, True ;D ;D

Jim, have you got any pictures of this? In particular, the floor bracket and how the rear of the base hooks into the back of the seats.
Thanks

I'll echo that... Very interested in this :y :y

I have been reading up on this. The TA comes with different bases for either the Vectra C, or Signum. I think (could be wrong) we would need the Signum base. Anyway, mine off ebay came with the Signum base and it's a damn good fit on my rear seat.
I don't know how the rear bit of the base attaches yet but there is a bracket required for the front of the base, which touches the transmission tunnel. From what I have read on another forum, this is part number 93182997 and when I called my dealer it was about £30. The bracket includes the ground and 12v power supply, which the connector on the underside of the base plugs in to.
There might be a way to 'bodge' installing the base but I would rather use the proper bracket.
Hopefully Jim will reply soon and let us know how he installed it, and then I will know whether to order the bracket. My dealer says it is a special order item.

Hi guys,
I'II post some pics at the weekend. as I'm in Italy at the mo 8-)

Basically I'm using the Signum base for the travel assistant and it fits good and I'II be using the Signum bracket and electrical kit and fitting that to the transmisson tunnel for powering up the unit and securing it to the floor.

I wish I was in Italy!
Anyway, it looks what I wrote was correct so I'll be ordering the kit from my dealer soon. Hopefully I can get it all working at the weekend.

I'll post pics, or maybe even write a how to.

They just about fit into the bolt/screws for the centre armrest.

If anyone can make a "how to" for this travel assistant (especially for electrical connexions), it very helps, I'm interested to fit it on my Facelift Omega too, but I need a creme beige one  :P

Found one but a bit expensive I think...

Let me know about that, very interested ;)

Will do :y

Got the install kit today, but I've decided to fit it to 3.2 and not the 3.0 as it match's the interior colour better, what do you think?

http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy201/wee-jim/25032010043.jpg

Looks 10x better in the 3.2  :y

Looks very good  :y
If I decide to install one on mine, I need abeige one... Very rare!

Agreed, its the same colour which is good, and it looks like its on opional extra from the dealer!!
