Question Vauxhall/Opel Question

Since we don't have a forum for GM's European divisions here (do they even HAVE any LS1-powered Vauxhalls?? ), this seemed like the most appropriate place to ask. To anyone who is familiar with these cars, can someone tell me if the stereo in an Omega, Vectra or Meriva of a 1999 vintage utilises the same CD changer interface as a Camaro of the same year? Reason being is that I'm looking at an iPod car adapter that claims to connect to the OEM CD changer wiring harness for these cars (allowing the head unit to control the iPod as if it were the CD changer). Sadly, they do not list any American GM models, and I want to know if there is any crossover there. If anyone knows, I appreciate any info you can spare. Thanks!

-Brian

Okay, granted - but they didn't have the CTS-V in '99...[] Still, any idea if it uses the same CD changer wiring harness as a '99 Z28...?

The Cadillac Catera was a rebadged Opel Omega. The CTS and CTS-V are built off of the Sigma platform which I believe is currently exclusive to Cadillac (CTS, STS and SRX).
