    Shift Light for auto

    From the title I thought you ment a light that lets you know when your engine had reached a pre-determined RPM, that would be handy to know how to fit.

    Differing wheel sizes

    Why dont you whack the tyres from the 15x6's on to two of the 15x7's, or are all 4 of the new tyres good and you just want to use up the two good ones on the 6" rims first? in which case sticking em' on the front will be fine.

    Hey Guys, looked at the book in the glove box of my ..........(insert commodore or berlina here as you wish) and it only says Commodore, Calais so that is interesting, never took any notice of it before. As for the guy paying $54000 for it that would be about right depending on what options he...

    HELP: 17" Rims shooting off everywhere?

    radar detector

    Radar detectors are useful because they alert you to police radar. Do you know what a paragraph is? If so please feel free to point out the errors of my ways. I guess now its my turn to ask the questions. Have I struck a sore nerve with the whole rim thing?

    radar detector

    Wow thats a big call, no one needs high HP engines or 19inch rims but people sill have them, and mates proberbly encourage more stupitity that most things so should we not drive with them either, I have been overtaken when doing the speed limit by more cars without radar detectors that with them.

    reach wiring???

    You will need to remove the std cradle as well, then the plugs unclip off the back of that. Then all you need is a matching plug from your local stereo supplier, wire that to your new head unit then plug it back into the existing loom plug, this way you wont have to cut anything and if the need...

    Removing Standard vy grill

    Bottom part it held in by three (might be 2) plastic prongs which are part of the grill, you will have to manipulate them with a small bladed screw driver to release them while pulling up on the grill at the same time.

    Loss of menu functionality with a/h head unit in VY/VZ

    Great news on the option menu still working, My VY still has all the menu functionality (except anything to do with the stereo obviously) but as you mentioned it is slower to scroll through it all, you have to hold the buttons in for a tad bit longer that usual to go to the next function, once...

    SV6 top speed

    stew7700 What I call a 1/2 sweep in the SV6 is the speedo only sits horizontaly at 0 and goes to about "3 o'clock" for 260 km/h (or what ever the top speed is) where as My Berlina has 0 km/h at about "7 o'clock" and goes arount to about "4 o'clock" this is the same for the tacho. Does this help...

And it either has a limiter at that speed or its out of legs take...

    Removing Glove box??

    When you open the glove box look up the top on each of the sides near the front and you will see two (one on each side) rubber tangs, which stop the glove box falling down any further, pull these in towards each other and then the glove box will drop down even more, then you just pull the glove...

    VY Audio, Post pics of ur VY Headunit and SOundsytem

    Cameron, they do make a plug, although you cant get one that plugs straight into your head unit and then into the cars wiring loom, it is a male plug for the main wiring loom and you have to solder the ends of your stereo to it then it plugs in, so there is no cutting of the original wiring...

    Family Wagon
