One thing Holden can't do is write software. In my VE, I just got fed up with all of the stupidness with its factory audio (and the fact that it kept on dying). So I ripped it out and put an Alpine in. All problems gone.

Not really a solution for the VF as far as I am aware. The only thing i can suggest is to ensure the software on your iPod/MP3 player is as up to date as possible.

I did have a big laugh the other night with the audio. I had a couple of songs on an album which was of unreleased songs. I then asked the car to play it via the voice control. My car happily obliged. and told me in a cheery voice "Now playing new ****". HAHA I made my car swear and it was happy about it. It played the right songs too!

I got rid of my Nano because it was clearly conflicted with Mylink and am just using a USB now.
I might wrote to Holden Assist and see if they can sort it out.

They will probably respond with something like "You are getting different tracks playing because you are unlocking and using the car with different keys. Our systems are smart enough to detect which key you used, therefore giving each driver a customised musical experience"

What's the bet....

They already tried that one on me when I lost all my radio stations one day without explanation.
I know the difference between my sets of keys.

im 90% sure its:

PCD 5X120
19" X 8.5" F
19" X 8.5" R
+48 offset

if anyone can confirm that would be greatly appreciated.
i dont believe the SSV (non redline) are not staggered as they both run 245/40/19

Vf ssv sportwagon
Hi there everyone
Apologies for hi jacking this thread it's my first post so wasn't too sure where to write up.
Just rejoined the GMH family and bought a vf ssv wagon after years of 4wd life.
I say rejoined as my first car was a SL/R Torana that I owned for 9 years... Wish I still had it!!
Anyway hopefully the fellow Holden crew out there are well and look forward to continuing to read your thoughts on things regarding our cars

Cheers
