VZ Calais 5.7
Hi Guys, I've had a bit of a search and can't seem to find anything.
It may not be possible at all but is there anyway of making the needles
do a full sweep when you turn the ignition on? Like the aston martins etc do.

Heres a video to show what I mean.

Any ideas? I have a feeling it may not be possible with the cluster.

An auto electrician could probably, someone who does dash related stuff like lights and gauges etc No idea how you could do it on your own

Try user Tazzl from Envyous customs, he would probably know. I recently picked up an ALDL cable from him with the VT-VZ body diagnostics software to program the Calais cluster I fitted to my wagon. Didn't see any settings for anything like that, so may not be possible. My Cruze does it though.

i think you could do it... but not without an additional piece of custom hardware/software...

i doubt there would be anything in the VZ ECU to do this.

you could create a device to pump the signal into the gauges on start up for a brief period.

Tazzi is the guy to talk to. he has put me onto the right path with a project I'm working on.
