I think you will get a way with swoping the eeprom. I did that with an IPC some days a go and it worked fine.
Ahh let me try to remember
Already had this issue couple years ago
Will check tomorrow evening what was done in this case i just remember we replaced cim couple of times as they all were from scrap so not sure now which one we fitted
With cim you can face a problem
Old cims was mcu type new ones eeprom so nothing to swap over
Went out of bed for you and checked
Solution was cim from 2005+ vectra as resistance on buttons is different than on scrollers and all schematic works much different what old cims doesn't understand
Tried to rewire it but no luck cim doesn't get it right only solution was facelift cim
did you have to mach up the letters on it or did you use other letters cim unit as just spoke to a vauxhall garage (not proper vauxhall) and thay said the letter have to mach up but if the letter mach up then its the same as i have and it will not work hummmmmmmm
No they don't have to much, went to scrap looked for vectra c facelift picked up any available
If you will match them than you will never get scrollers
I would go for a facelift CIM an ident UY one if you do NOT have AFL's or ESP fitted.. But changing the eprom from an older CIM probably not work as it will be looking for different things, but nothing to stop you trying (Dom - Was only the very early ones on the MCU's.. Later ones were eprom)
well had a look at mine today and its a ident GL on a 1.8 2003 so going to get replacement and get it installed buy a nice chap with a tech2 i see soulman said get a ident UY ...can i use anything else as some one told me UZ just want to get the right part as the man installing it lives a long way from me and dont want him to have a wasted trip thank you every one for your time
Main thing what you need is cim from facelift 2005+ years, uy was mentioned if you don't have afl's and esp but otherwise use one which you can get
