Hey couldn't find a real answer to this, so i'm asking all of you guys.
I want to swap out my VN exec wiring loom for a higher model one.
Since I want to keep my heaterbox and not stuff around with the HVAC box at all, I don't wanna install climate control.
So I was thinking to get a VN calais one without the climate option. There actually really hard to come by and so I want to check what the difference between a power pack Berlina and a Calais. So far I have this:
Berlina: No trip computer or lvl 3 dash.
Central locking/ power windows and mirrors/ cruise control
Standard HVAC box
Any other differences I havn't thought of?
Probably wont be an anti theft circuit in the berlinas and maybe no rear lights for passengers (not hard to put in)
I would be looking for a series 1 vn which im sure dont have climate( i know mine doesnt)
Either way the level 3 mod to a berlina loom isnt hard and that and climate are the only thing you'll miss out on.

Thanks guys, that was everything I needed to know. Rear passenger lights are fine as there already installed. Lvl 3 dash i've done as well, so it should be really easy with the loom out of the car.
no cigar lighter behind the centre console lid?
Why would you want two ciggie lighters??? It's just wank factor.
theres a calais without climate control at centre rodad self serve wreckers
Thanks mate, Thats near me. Didn't think they had any good stuff though. Was at Jolly Rogers today, nearly had the whole thing out, ran outa time. Hopefully i'll be able to get back tomorrow.
Yay!!! Success!! I got the whole thing out of the Calais at jollys. I think its missing one part though, Theres a green and white plug in the loom, goes just behind the glove box. I'm thinking it's for the alarm. If it is, is the alarm module needed if i'm putting in a aftermarket one??
I don't think it will start without the alarm module connected. I grabbed one and hooked it up anyway, just in case.
I think I just unplugged the Calais one that was in the Wagon (fitted when the calais loom went in) when it started self alarming
Wagon still goes![]()

Ah well, i'll find one around. Not sure if i'm going to use the whole loom, or be lazy and split it up and use the original loom as well.
