    VF SSV Redline Queries

    I have to agree, in hilly areas the FM radio reception is rubbish. It was the same in my VE with the same antenna setup. It's also the same in 3 other mates' VF's so it's not a fault... it's obviously a feature.

    MyLink defaults to USB

    I also only use 1 key... in fact I think the battery has gone flat in the spare. I don't have remote start as mine is a vroom vroom manual ;-) I've used multiple sticks, including the Sandisk. All have the same behaviour. Doesn't worry me now.

    MyLink defaults to USB

    Mine's been disabled since day 1... I'm the only driver so wanted to set it once regardless of the key I picked up.

    MyLink defaults to USB

    It has a mind of its own. I have only ever used the same fob for 4 years and seen it all. Seems to have 2 different playlists... but its random as to which one it picks. USB will often start up late like the OP says... it's not the USB as I've tried several, all brand new and they all do it...

    How long did your brakes last ?

    My front factory pads (Brembos) on the Redline were just replaced at the 90k service. Rears still have some meat on them. Didn't need rotors replaced. Fairly happy.

    Keep radio from turning off

    That'll work great in my manual Redline! ;)

    Keep radio from turning off

    This has been discussed so many times on here... the end result is don't do it... you shouldn't put it in ignition mode for so long and it's a pain to keep turning the radio on. Just take a portable radio.

    How do I lock my VF2 at the beach?

    It's pretty easy to take the battery out of the fob... do that before putting it in the lock box just to be sure?

    First the drive-in movies, now the beach :(

    MY14 Redline Spare Wheel Question

    Spare is exactly the same size as the front. You won't want to keep it on the rear for any length of time.

    Holden Extended Factory Warranty - Thoughts and Opinions Requested

    My Holden "extended" warranty when I bought my 2016 VF2 is actually provided by Allianz Insurance. An extra 2 years (taking the total to 5) was somewhere around $1500 from memory (I could be out a couple of hundred).

    Mylink - Youtube audio huge delay

    Yep an iPhone issue, still no issues on my new Galaxy S9 on Android. Edit: Seems to be a general iOS issue with bluetooth speakers: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/8159i6/bug_bluetooth_audio_lag_in_ios_11_will_it_ever_be/ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8575558

    VF Sat Nav

    Not real sure, however from what I've read and observed, the dealer needs to download the firmware specific to your VIN... and often this is done before you go to the dealer for the service... so I suspect they don't actually check when it's plugged in, but rather check your VIN online (without...

    VF Sat Nav

    I would also add to be very specific when you talk to your dealer, that the MyLink firmware update is a separate thing to the maps update and what you want.. some dealers don't seem to understand (mine was quite good) but some people have reported the dealer didn't get it... or do it.... or they...

    Too small tyres on rims

    Before you do anything, have you actually confirmed the size of the rims? Either by measurement or checking what's stamped on them?

    [Safety Recall] Electric Power Steering — MY2014 to MY2016 Holden & HSV, VF Commodore & WN Caprice

    MY2016 but only builds up to April 2015? Wasn't MY16 introduced later in the year?

    Opening boot with Rear Wing

    Mine has only ever opened up 1/4 from the factory... Didn't know there were "stronger struts".

    How long did your brakes last ?

    Geeez, my Redline is up to 71,000km and my pads are still original, still have meat left on them. Clearly I've been driving like my father.

    Noisy dash

    Hmmm I've just had mine start this too. I'll have a look.

    VF Commodore "DOC" connector..

    Haha thanks kirkc, however no need to panic as I was aware that the circuit is not protected and it has it's own inline fuse. It also only activates a relay... the feed power that gets turned on through the relay is also fused and comes direct from the battery. Good pick up.

    Ex government department

    I'd be questioning that... the only V8's I've seen that Police user have been Highway Patrol vehicles. GD and other vehicles are generally only fours or sixes.
  22. Adza75

    Ex government department

    It won't be a "normal" department... mine, like many others, goes for much cheaper options and even if we have a Commodore wagon it's the base model V6. V8's are usually for urgent or special duties so my guess will be it's ex-police or similar. If it's Victoria, then Victoria police have...

    Do I have live traffic?

    If it has navigation it will have traffic incident updates... but it only works in metro areas and is based on the Suna Traffic network. http://www.sunatraffic.com.au/

    Pandora to be discontinued in Australia

    Pandora won't show up as you scroll through the sources if you haven't got the corresponding Pandora app on your mobile phone. If you do (for instance if you still use it via a VPN) then it will show up. It's always been that way, even before Pandora streaming was decommissioned in Australia.

    Rear centre seat-belt warning going off

    Well mine went in for service today... they pulled out the rear centre belt and discovered the couple had somehow trapped the cable and earthing it out, thus causing the warning. They've fixed it... hopefully. I'll see how it goes.

    Mylink hack or upgrade

    The hack in the Youtube link is for an overseas MyLink with a different operating system... downside is that it doesn't work on VF's. If you talk to a few people on here the Advanced Ice is glitchy... also not sure if VF2 has an auxiliary input anymore. Although I like the idea of an Android box.

    Loose tube - SSVF2 Redline

    Breather for the windscreen washer bottle? Get it empty then fill it fast... you'll hear air coming out of it when you do.

    Rear centre seat-belt warning going off

    Hmmm mine did it again over the weekend but it's only when someone is in the back seat and pushes down near the centre seat belt. What was the clicking? I feel sometimes that my seat only ever so slightly moves when I get in... I'd got them to check it once and they said nothing found.

    VF Sportwagon UHF install | Retained accessory power (RAP) | Surveillance mode

    I have a UHF with remote head mounted in my VF sedan. I found a RAP fuse in the fuse box, used a plug to plug into it and ran that to a relay... then ran a heavier duty wire from the battery through the relay and into the UHF (mine is a commercial radio and pulls more amps). I mounted the brains...

    MY 17 or MY 18?

    As HSV are classified as a manufacturer and they were still "making" cars into 2018, then perhaps MY18 is unique to them?

    Rear centre seat-belt warning going off

    Thanks Actilux... looks like we're in the same area. I'm due for a service in about 4,000km so was going to get them (Comm Motors) to have a look as well. If yours comes up with an answer so I can point them in the right direction that would be great!

    Rear centre seat-belt warning going off

    MY16 Redline... it appears as if the rear centre seat belt buckle warning has become faulty. When someone is sitting in the rear passenger-side seat and there's a little bit of weight pushing down on the buckle, the centre seatbelt icon on the driver's screen will go green briefly and then flash...

    VF Commodore "DOC" connector..

    My UHF draws more than that... but then again its a commercial unit which I have the "brains" mounted in the boot, through a relay switched by a RAP fuse in the boot. Also an external antenna is easy from the boot. I have a boot mounted one, very easy to slip into the cargo area and if you...

    Does the car on the parking sensor screen match your car?

    Mine's a white sedan. I guess a red car on a red background wouldn't be helpful.

    Android Auto / Carplay addon

    I know you're waiting to see the next version of MyLink Tazzi to see what you can do, but what do you think the likelihood of having them available in the future to retrofit into the VF?

    Android Auto / Carplay addon

    The ICE unit was still a generic Android box that's marketed under other names as well... not sure if the Navi one is the same unit, but I was under the impression it was.

    My MY16 Redline only has them in the front... I think. Hmmm now you have me thinking I'll have to check.

    2016 vs 2017 Redline differences?

    Didn't the MY15 have the 6.0 and the MY16 the 6.2?
