    ZB Air Conditioning, whine and temperature...

    No noise problem here. I do have issues with temperature, but if i want it colder/warmer, i just set the temp lower/higher. Id prefer to leave it at 22 & let it do its thing, but find ive generally got it at 20 or 24

    Head Unit - Known issue?

    No joy yesterday. The local dealer replaced the USB cable & the only thing to change is Ive gone from having two USB ports in the centre console to one - so Im worse off than before the "fix". I know theres two USB ports on the back of the centre console for passengers. are there any others? Ive...

    WIFI Apple or Android Carplay

    I set my AAWireless up yesterday, is there a good forum etc for the best settings for Oz? I tried making a call this morning but the car told me that no phone was connected to bluetooth. Do I just use google assistant now, hitting the steering wheel button did cancel the action? You dont...

    Head Unit - Known issue?

    Sure did. Nothing. Bought new Thumbdrives, nothing. Tried thumbdrives in wifes car, work perfectly. Holden care have referred me back to the dealer to request a TAC case be raised. Why it wouldnt be done in the first place amazes me. Im now a ping pong ball in the Holden bureacracy

    USB for Music

    Morning all. This is doing my head in. Ive had my car for a couple of years & always had a SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB inserted into one of the USB plugs in the centre console. Recently my system stopped reading the USB, so I replaced it. Its happened before in this car, & previously in the VF...

    ZB Calais Tourer Is It Worth The upgade

    A good write up Turk. i too cant seem to get the auto rear door to open with a swipe of my foot. I had my local dealer look at it, & they reported nothing wrong with it. Next service Ill have them show me how to operate it

    Auto windows

    Yes. Just tested & worked as you suggested. All windows & sunroof closed, mirrors folded up. It actually confirmed an issue Ive been having. I get out of my car & walk away & it locks itself. But I auto start the car & the mirrors are always folded up. So now I know to long press the lock...

    Thanks for that, I had no idea. I normally have a play with settings & cant say i ever noticed a setting for it.

    Auto windows

    Gday fellas Ive just had the weirdest situation & was wondering if its a sign of deteriotion of a component. Im driving a Calais V Tourer. I parked up this morning & my co-worker has told me all my windows were down - I definitely didnt leave my windows down, & even if I had the drivers window...

    360-degree camera

    Ive got it in my calais V Tourer, Ive got no idea how it works, but its great when trying to park between lines. It kicks in when you hit reverse, but it stays on while youre under a certain speed going forward.

    What's the ZB commodore like any issues? What do the owners of ZB think? Pointless thread ruined by one user.

    I came from a VF SS Sportwagon & before that had a G6 Turbo. I very much enjoy drving my Calais V Tourer. It doesnt have the grunt of the SS or the turbo, but i can still find enough horses to get me into trouble if I want. Its got all the bells & whistles. Im a country driver, so dont really...

    Tyre replacement choice

    Ive got these in a 235/50 R18 https://www.goodyear.com.au/goodyear-efficientgrip-performance-suv-pt-0000346 I wouldnt know if theyre good or not. Theyre better than the factory tyres, much quieter. They werent cheap, blew me over when they wanted $1484 after fitting them

    Any difference between 18 and 19 MY?

    I think their after sales service has been poor for years. Updating all software should be part of the regular servicing of the car. If they cant do it, they (& I mean all car manufacturers) should be using software that the user can update themselves.

    sun reflection around gear selector

    Youve got me interested. How does this wrap work? Are they one size fits all or car specific? How much stuffing around are they? Is it a job thats at the chewing gum & walking level, pull the car apart & have extra bits & a rattle level, or pull car apart & nothing left over & no rattles level?

    ZB Calais Tourer, yes, no?

    I own a Calais V Tourer & love driving it. It ticked all the boxes for me - Wagon, leather, V6, Carplay. I came from a VF SS Sportwagon. I strongly agree with this. There was a point where you couldnt give one of these away. $30K seems excessive for something with 30-50K km on it

    Tyres

    The other thing that really pissed me off when I punctured my tyre on the weekend is that there are plastic sleeves on the wheelnuts. This means that the tyre wrench supplied with the car wont work until you get the plastic covers off - theres no tool supplied for that.

    Tyres

    Ive been a fanboy of the Calais V Tourer since buying it, but I just replaced my tyres & got the shock of my life. Admittedly, I should have asked the price before. I just took it to the place I always go because theyve always offered good service. I asked for mid range tyres, similar to the...

    Auto lock when putting vehicle in drive?

    Has anybody worked out how/if people on the passenger side can unlock the doors before me if Im near the car? The passenger door behind the driver unlocks, the drivers door unlocks, but the passenger side wont unlock until the drivers door unlocks.

    my new ZB Calais experience

    Has anybody had an issue of the glove box not closing properly? Ive got the Calais V Tourer. The glovebox is latched closed, but there is a significant gap/opening of the glovebox near the passenger side door. Cheers

    Zb commorde haters

    Im in Tathra & drive a Calais V Tourer if you want to come over for a trip. Alternatively, Im in Cooma bowling on Sunday. I love the car, & thats coming from a VF SS wagon. If I have a minor gripe, it could do with a little extra headroom, who uses a sunroof?

    ZB vs VF Climate Control

    My experience is the other way. I came from a VF SS & two things that peeved me with the ss 1. The "climate control" was crap. It always seemed to be either off or full throttle & you were forever chaging the temp to get the mix right. To me thats not climate control. 2. youd have cruise...

    Vxr vs calais

    Is there any problem running your display in night mode all the time? I would think it could actually give it a longer life. I prefer the black screen to the white screen. Edit - While I have you, is there a way of changing the source on the steering wheel. On m VF there was a SRC button which...

    Looking to buy a Calais V Tourer

    I called them out on this. I had a spreadsheet of the cars I was looking at. Told them i wanted the price for both, they said they only had one, I said well theyve got different KM. At the end of the day they werent keen on wheeling & dealing, neither was Brighton Holden. I spoke to Chris &...
