So then why does my 99 MV6 have a GID then??

Really? What Radio?

I suspect it actually has a CCRT700 MID. No prefacelift Omega was ever factory fitted with a GID Wink

Half height screens on prefacelifts are either the basic TID, or the CCRT700 MID (note, it is a MID, just with extra phone based portion of display).

The GID, as fitted to the facelifts with non colour satnavs is a different beast... ...though annoyingly loses the Stopwatch function of the MIDs - how am I supposed to time my 0-60s now...
