Might also sound dumb but check your battery. When mine was almost dead it would reset my head unit and cluster every time I started the engine haha

Might be a little 'racecar' for me.... the P plates attract enough negative attitude :P Black fits in with my interior a bit better than CF I reckon, and I plan on having a few more switches than that. Thanks for the link though mate, I'm glad these kind of things exist :)

Beautiful! That should do the job nicely. Thanks mate!

Hey guys, I'm looking to install some switches in my car without being too destructive (ie drilling the dash) I have a free DIN slot, and was wondering if anyone had seen any off-the-shelf single DIN switch panels? I'm not really handy with DIY, so making a panel myself would result in...

Given how so many young people pronounce it CUNstable to be 'funny', I prefer to avoid saying it ever. Whenever I get pulled over (P plates, Commodore, do the math) I just say "G'day Mate" and they're always happy. Yup, best course of action. Have a few family friends who are cops including...

That is a beautiful knife, I've always loved S&W products. Did it cost an arm and a leg? Also where did you pick it up? I'd love to get one :thumbsup:

Thanks mate!

Hey guys, another newbie question here. I'm interested in replacing the clock spring in my VT S1, in order to install steering wheel audio controls. Only question I haven't managed to find an answer for is, is the Clock Spring from a VT Series 2 or VX compatible with a VT Series 1? I...

That's fair enough, definitely not for everyone. It's pretty time consuming and costly, especially for those of us with other expensive hobbies. For the curious, If you have a local club, I'm sure they would be happy to show you around and probably give you a few shots. It's a great way to...

Anyone here do much pistol shooting? (sorry if I've missed it, but ain't nobody got time to read 48 pages) Already had Category A,B + C longarms license and just picked up my provisional Handgun license a week ago. Target pistol shooting is a sport I really can't recommend enough to anyone...

I have a very similar issue in my VT, was told by my local Holden dealer that "there's no way it's an issue with the auto"... Since then have had Engine mounts, exhaust brackets and a few misc parts replaced but still have this strange hesitation and noise. I'd honestly almost given up on...

It is pretty clear since the colour of the message bubbles changes, but not clear enough for some people who want to pay as little attention as possible :rofl2:

Dunno if you've used an iPhone with iMessage enabled before, but by default the phone will send iMessages in place of SMS, it isn't a user choice. To send SMS instead is a user decision. The issue is on Apple's part, not on the people who may not even be aware of the issue. I see this so...

I've seen this done before on factory fog lights, doesn't look too bad. I wouldn't recommend this mod though, especially on any spotlights as it would still be illegal use of Fog/Driving Lights. (Source) Factory lights you could probably get away with, but any Police officer that catches a...

The VX can not do this from factory. It is not a fault. This could be done DIY with a few relays but I reckon it would be more effort than it it's worth. An auto elec could set this up for you, not sure on the cost though. Edit: The Calais/Berlina might have (dunno) but the Exec doesn't.

Fat32 can't handle any single file being over 4GB (which is very rarely an issue) so to "fix" this fat32 isn't offered as a format option by default anymore. More a PITA for people like Banjo who can't use their USB's in cars/tv's

The hazards switch on your dash, above the mode buttons.

It only takes 8MP stills but the huge camera gives it amazing zoom and picture quality.

I'm pretty sure there isn't from the VIN, as Executive, SS and S all show as the same luxury level. You could go to a Holden dealer and ask them to check, as I'm pretty sure they can do it, but that would likely be your only option.

https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/how-to-check-your-vin.113858 The K stands for executive level (same as S) the 69 stands for sedan, check the article I linked for more details but I don't think you'll be able to tell from just the VIN

By 2 way connectors I mean any plug with 2 wires, which you can quickly disconnect. Here's a few examples: 2 Pin Bullet type Plug & Socket - Jaycar Electronics Automotive 2-Way Plug/Socket - 250 Series - 2 way - Jaycar Electronics Also I meant blade instead of spade my bad, here is a male...

Drivers side B (middle) pillar is the best place to access these wires. Under the carpet is probably your best bet, meaning removing the seats might make the job easier. Remember don't turn on the car with the seats unplugged or you'll get an airbag error warning :thumbsup: Also leave plenty...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of gathering the parts to install power windows into my VT Exec. I'm looking for the the trim piece that goes around the shifter and under the Cigarette lighter (Like This Piece). My only question is, does anyone know what the Stock VT executive dash colour was...

Pretty sure someone mentioned this as fixed not more than a few days ago.. Might only be on newly manufactured cars though. Edit: Found it https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/vf-holden-commodore-issues-faults-59.219460/post-2618921

NTFS won't help mate, put it in fat32, you can use the tool Fat32Formatter (Fat32Formatter). The USB will work unless it uses an unruly amount of current.

They all are, USB is Forwards and Backwards compatible from 1.0 to 3.1, the only difference is the speed and current output. It's not a manufacturer requirement at all.

FTFY :thumbsup: haha

I'm fairly sure that's been since amended. HSV Gen F's and lots of euro cars have DRLs dimmed when headlights are on, from factory.

I agree that the instant difference may not be noticeable in L/100. I'd like to see a comparison of running low-beams vs led DRLs for an extended period but even a small reduction would make a big difference when 50k or more cars have adopted LEDs.

Hey mate, USB3 is perfectly backwards compatible, meaning your USB3 stick will work fine in the VF. It's pretty likely to be USB2 in the VF but it will work fine. A hub probably won't work the way you want, because a USB port can only put out a limited amount of power, which may not be enough...

Sarcasm? From electrical experts.... and science? LED DRL's use much less power than the previous tradition of using two low beam headlights (55 watts each on a Commodore) instead as DRL's. This in turn will reduce power consumption and, in turn, fuel consumption and emissions (Actual...

Thanks mate, I know it sounds like a dumb question but I didn't wanna lose money on something that won't fit haha.

Hey guys, I have a White VT S1 with the standard black mirrors, and I have stumbled upon a cheap set of Heron white mirrors in really good nick. Problem is, the mirrors are off a 2001 VX, and I know VT1's had quite a few parts which weren't compatible with VT2 onwards (Door looms, power mirror...

The fact that most euro's and all Gen-F HSV's only dim the DRL's when headlights come on makes it reasonably believable that this will be fine. Also sounds like the laws you are quoting are more specific to Fog lights and Spotties, rather than DRL. I would bet that Euro's driving through SA at...

The Gen-F HSV's do this, and so do most euro's with DRLS. I like the look, and it increases night time visibility without being blinding. In my opinion, it's mostly a personal taste modification.

DESCRIPTION: Wanted to buy ITEM: After a VX SS front bar in Heron White (J073), preferably including fog lights. LOCATION: Inner West suburbs, Melbourne Victoria. Regularly travel to and from South Gippsland so not many places are inconvenient. CONDITION: Hoping to find a bar that...

Pretty sure RWD4ever was meaning, in USA Chev has PDF's available, but in Aus Holden doesn't. Chev manuals don't need a proxy.

I'm pretty sure the standard electric antennae didn't support adjustable height, and the Calais & Statesman actually had a different model of electric antenna which supported adjustable height. Please correct me if I'm wrong, that's just how I remember it.

Hey mate, this thread is awesome! It answered heaps of my questions. About to buy one of your cables off eBay haha. Good work!

As DLFHUB666 said, it's ALDL Data attached to an OBD2 plug. OBD2 scantools/cables will not connect to pre-VZ V6 models. If you are looking for a USB cable for the car, This One will do the trick. The V6, L67 and 5L should all be fine with that, but LS1 isn't AFAIK.
