How do you expect anyone to be able to help you if you don't know what you want to do ?

If you'd asked "I want to fit an Astra GTE digi dash into my car - is there a straightforward wiring conversion loom available from anywhere, or does anyone know how to fit one ?" then someone may have helped you.

But you didn't.

So go and buy a Stack ST8000 - all instructions included.

all depends on what dash your going for
