    VE commodore radio reception problem.

    Well I have, but the radio reception has been this poor since I got the car stock with no modifications to wiring. I've just put up with it over the years but it would be nice to fix the issue so I can listen to the radio properly.

    VE commodore radio reception problem.

    I have a Series 2 SV6 Sedan 2011 model. I unplugged that black box (TMC) a while back and made no difference. It's got that bad now that I'm actually streaming the radio through my phone to be able to listen to it. Just wish Holden would do something about it. Certain stations are perfect but...

    Powering 12v items

    Problem with doing that, is that the plugs generally have circuit boards converting down to 5v and such.

    Who Pays

    Yeah, stopped just near the tree when it happened and took 100's of photos of the car & the tree and branch. They say bad luck comes in 3's so hopefully nothing more bad will happen to me.

    Who Pays

    Thought that might be so :( spoken to the police and he didn't like my chances with the council & insurance company pretty much have told me the same thing. My excess is only $600 but even so seems so unfair that it wasn't even my fault. Only had the car 3 weeks and already have had windscreen...

    Who Pays

    I was driving home today from work. I live in a large rural city. As I was driving along a major road through town a fairly large branch from a big gumtree fell on my New VE Commodore :mad::cry: It fell on the sunroof, luckily it didn't smash. Dinted and scratched the front passenger side quater...

    VE Commodore Headunit problem

    The Omega doesn't have the IQ system. My series 1 SV6 did this on some occasions. I think it is that the charge in your battery is low and the car computer system turns different things off to save power. I noticed that mine would do this several times in the winter after starting off on a cold...

    I have just upgraded from a VE SV6 S1 to a VE SV6 S2. I've found that the radio reception is very poor and scratchy in the new S2. Series 1 picked up all the radio stations in my area fine, the Series 2 most stations are very scratchy reception except for 1 or 2 which are very close stations...

    VE dash screw

    Try using something like silvo or brasso to pollish the plastic and possibly pollish out the marks. Won't hurt to try, if it removes the marks then you wont need to remove the cluster :idea3:

    I'm the same. One accident I attended was pretty nasty. What was even worse was that the person that was killed was one of the members mothers. Very well known in the area. Generally you should take professional CISM councilling.

    Dealing with Pop-ups

    Is the popup to a particular website. If so you can put that website into your host file as a loopback and whenever it tries to appear it will just bring up a blank IE window. PM me for details on how to do this. Not the best fix but it will at least stop the content being displayed.

    do the brushes at car wash's **** your paint

    Most people on this forum own a car !! :doh: I voted yes to scratching. I usually take a hand mitt down to the car wash with me and use that instead of the brush. Lately though I have been using the brush as my new car is silver and doesn't show the swirl marks like my old Black VY.
