    Headunit wont power on

    i'm not sure what you mean, the factory headunit was working until the power to it was lost and it started to show CDE on the display.

    How important is getting your car serviced?

    oh bollocks, it appears the warranty means it must be serviced by the dealer (dealer warranty, mums idea) guess i'll have to suspend my $3000000000000 hookers and blow habit for a day.

    How important is getting your car serviced?

    I am the proud(ish) owner of a 2000 vx berlina 3.8. I am also impressively broke and currently unemployed. would missing the 120,000km service be that important? the car in question is three months overdue timewise but is currently sitting on about 113k. how likely is it that my engine will...

    What else do I need?

    thanks for the link to the contents of a wiring kit, i can now get my dad (an architect with an electrical engineering degree) to rustle me up the components from his garage bag-o-tricks. one more question, can anyone suggest a good way to mount the amplifier preferably with pictures (its...

    What else do I need?

    just looking at the contents of the wiring kit, do i need to buy that in a kit or can i buy the components separately (im a broke uni student and really cant afford the 135 bux for the wiring kit). i was thinking of going to radio parts, but since they closed the shop near where i live i dont...

    What else do I need?

    The main reason I'm upgrading is ever since I discovered Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty all the sound started to get fuzzy. Do i need spacers or anything? P.S My Berlina came with 4 speakers, but i believe a pair of 8 inch subs were an option.

    What else do I need?

    I am fairly new to the world of car audio and I was going to try and install a stereo system into my car. I'm fairly competent in soldering and running cable.

    VX lowering

    cool, where can i get a set of super-lows cheap, would second hand be a good idea or will it ruin my car (do you need the camber kit with superlows?)

    VX lowering

    I just bought a vx Berlina, i was wondering how low i could go without scraping the fronts/rears on the driveway and on speedbumps (quite a few of the bastards around my house). would superlows be alright or should i stick to lows or even *shudder* stock height?

    air cond - cuts on in hot weather

    my van does that, but substitute 45 degrees with 30 degrees it resulted in me driving down the highway with my head out the window because the vans shape results in f*ck all air getting through the cabin with the windows down. afaik its probably blowing hot air because the entire air vent...

    new headunit problems

    that is a weird problem, the subs work with the old h/u and the speakers work with the new h/u, the solution is obviously to use both h/us at once

    VT - VZ Steering Wheel Stereo Controls

    do you have a timeframe as to when the adapter thing will be complete? could you post some rough plans so i can go through them with my dad (he's an architect with an electrical engineering degree)? three heads are better than one when it comes to error spotting!

    Fuel Economy

    Hi justcommodores, I was wondering what sort of fuel economy you get from a vx commodore with a 5speed. i consulted redbook, but the fuel economy sounds optimistic for a larger car like a commodore. the reason i am asking is that i figured that the fuel economy claimed by Holden is the result...
