Hi Druid, sorry I don't know what the previous version number was, however it was the original software that came with the car when it was built in May 2013

Hey Forg here is my software update number that just got installed. Really happy with the update, navigation looks like it's had some tweaks too. Hope the pics upload ok. Cheers

A day before I took the ute in for service I had a call drop out on me and my radio signal has always seems to waver from great to crap, so I mentioned this to the service manager and by his response I didnt hold out much hope for the software upgrade under warranty. To my surprise when I later...

At my first service I tried the "my phone loses connection" trick, so the dealer ran a scan and detected no errors so no reverse lines. So I tried another tact when booking in for the 18 month service and flatly asked for the mylink upgrade and was told that if there are no faults it was...

I have an early build as well, May 2013 Was hoping they had a patch by now for the first gen units. Anyone out there have any luck with the reverse lines on the earlier VF models?

Has been just a few days now with my 2.5 inch Difillipo catback on my stock auto ute. AFM switched off. No drone, sounds great. Nice V8 burble on start up and with a bit of acceleration. Really nice when cruising, makes it very easy to live with. Very happy with it so far.

Had a 2.5 inch Difillipo catback installed today on my ute and Im really happy with it, sounds awesome. I wasn't after any extra KW's just a nice deep rumble that actually sounds like an 8 should. I wish I did it months ago!

Had a 1977 LX Torana 25 years ago Now have a 1994 VR Ute & 2013 VF SSV Ute The VR's for work and the VF's for play and they're both great cars.

Thats sounds right, I have a 2013 VF SSV and 39.9l/100 is as high as it goes. Holden have probaly limited it to that on purpose so it doesnt scare the crap out of you! I only do city driving and I average about 18l/100.........not great figures I know, but who cares it so much fun!

Wiper Motor Recall I just booked in my 3 month / 3000km service and I was hoping the 2 recalls for the wiper motor and seatbelt would be fixed then. I was told the seatbelt fix is not a problem, however I was quite surprised when the service guy told me there would be a 6 to 8 week wait on...

Hi all, Does anybody have any info on the VF's reverse camera guidelines, or lack of guidelines? My misses car has them, and the lines turn in response to the direction of the car which I have found really helpful, reversing is a breeze and elimates any rim gutter rash on kerbs as the...

Hey Phil, went down to HSP on the weekend to check out their lids, they seem like a decent lid and the only extra holes they put in the ute is just a few small holes to fit the hinges. Put a deposit on a manual locking double hump. Hope it ends up looking sweet! Reckon the HSP double humps look...

Only had my SSV ute for a month now and I absolutely love it. It certainly puts a smile on my face every time I get in it and every time I look at it. This thing has everything in it that I could ever want except for one thing........ which Im being picky now and thats no reverse camera...

Thats a sweet feature marmack, thanks for the headsup on that. Works great with iphone4s

Thanks Phil, sounds good, I'll have to reconsider that option now.

Thanks Phil, yeah I do like the clean look of the HSP flat lids with its slightly raised lines running towards the cabin. Im not sure if I feel comfortable having them tap into my electrics and drilling holes to pass emergency cables to the cabin though. Theres too much electronic gizmos these...

Well done Phil, I think the SSV is a great choice, Im rapt with mine and it's quite a substantial saving over the Redline, $16k difference, thats a lot of grumpy sheep you would have had to sheer! What sort of hardlid are you thinking of getting? I'm looking at getting one too, Im not sure...

Well done Phil, great news on the sale of your ute, now you can focus on buying your new toy!

Thats hilarious Phil, I like the way you put it. I hope you dont count sheep at night to get yourself to sleep! Hopefully you can sell your existing ute quickly and grab one of the 2013 bargains. I must say I wanted to get myself into an Aussie V8 ute too before they become "extinct". Don't...

Hi Phil, I got the price down to $37k because I had a 3k GM discount which I believe comes out of GM profit margin not the dealer. The best I got the dealer down to was 40k (then I laid the discount on the table) and that was for the auto which is about $2,200 extra over the manual. So I would...

Hi Phil, yeah at the time I made the decision to get a VF ute (about a month ago) they had quite a few brand new 2013 plated models for sale. Within a week or two they were getting snapped up pretty quickly because of the great deals going around. I was originally after an SS but the color I was...

Hi all, picked up my brand new 2013 build SSV ute last week for a driveaway price of $37,000 which included mats and locknuts. I had a $3000 family and friends discount which that price includes. I think I did ok on the deal?, nonetheless it's an awesome car, pretty happy so far. cheers

Hi all, First time on the forum, been reading through a lot of your posts some great stuff here, so thanks. Going out tomorrow to check out an SS ute, seems like some great deals going on. I was initially going to get an SV6 storm but for less dollars I can get a 2013 demo SS with 10ks on...
