    Brake Booster recall

    Hi all, I have contacted my local dealer twice about this, received the recall letter this week advising to contact my local dealer, even naming the dealer to contact. I am booked in for a service this week, thus was hoping the recall could be done at the same time. Both times I have called...

    What to buy to replace the ZB?

    Watching this thread with interest. As the cost of fuel is getting out of hand and there doesn’t appear to be any relief coming, I travel approx 120kms per day. I’m surprised by the recommendation of a Camry. What’s so excellent about them? Reliability or value? I had one for two weeks as a...

    WIFI Apple or Android Carplay

    Hi, just providing an update. Having the device for nearly a week, I was having continuous disconnections. Reading through here and other websites I decided to factory reset the dongle via the companion app. I then uninstalled android auto and updated, cleared data and cache in android auto...

    WIFI Apple or Android Carplay

    Hi all, after waiting 6 months I finally received my AA wireless dongle a couple of days ago. I had some difficulty setting up, stating it was connected but wasn’t on the head unit. Once I went into settings in the app and enabled passthrough there it was. Today I could update to the latest...

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

    Told myself I would stay away from this thread. But anyway, you could get the wiring harness from here. http://www.headlight-headlamp.com/Buick-Regal-Insignia-Standard-Halogen-Normal-Headlight-Upgrade-Replace-To-Full-LED-Headlamp-Lights-Adapter-Harness-Wires-Cable.html

    WIFI Apple or Android Carplay

    Do I need to enter a secret menu to find the software version? If so can you please advise how I do so. When I press on software version it tells me to insert USB.

    WIFI Apple or Android Carplay

    Watching this thread with interest. My wired Android Auto is flawless, in saying that the dongle would be great for short trips. The indiegogo dongle I believe had a recent update which improved connection. Although research is saying problems with Opel vehicles. I just don’t want to waste over...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    I found it annoying, it seemed to come on with different lighting conditions as well. I have been using this for 6 months with no issues. https://www.amazon.com.au/Xprite-Headlight-Anti-Flicker-Resistor-Conversion/dp/B07SHFDRSR/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Xprite+led+canbus+decoder&qid=1583976994&sr=8-1

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Hi again, I've been using the canbus decoder for over a week. Not once have I received the low beam error. Only concern it does get hot, I obviously missed the review that stated the casing was metal. In regards to light levels, mine did appear a bit high. I just changed the headlight...

    Attributes of the ZB that make it Special

    For the VF lovers and for myself as a special person. There has been some interesting threads and comments, but implying that I'm not mentally intact and the comment is allowed to remain astounds me. https://www.motoring.com.au/holden-commodore-hero-departs-123706/

    Unsure but something like this definetely do work, unfortunately temp is around 200 degrees. I put the back of my hand briefly on the resistor and it was bloody hot...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Apparently it gets up to 60 degrees. I could still touch it, it was pretty hot though. Below is the one that the Insignias have had some luck with, reviews say it also gets very hot. I don't like getting beaten, so will keep trying...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Hi again, Still getting the low beam error with the JW speaker decoder. So still trying to find a solution. Seems some on the Opel Insignia forum have had some success, please note they have had to use a resistor. Here are some links for Opel Insignia and Buick Regal. I also found a website...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Just thought I'd give another update. This morning when starting up I got the check left dipped low beam message, then it immediately cleared. Possibly a delay in converting the voltage, unsure. No more CANbus errors on my 35 minute work commute. Very happy thus far, being able to see more...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Well I tried this https://www.autobarn.com.au/el26658 and the Philips, both worked. The JW speaker is the winner though, didn't get hot at all. The Philips too hot for me to be comfortable sitting inside the dust cap. So for a total of $130 I have full LEDs without any code error. Thanks...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Yeah seems the seller increased the price after purchase. I paid $47, only require one set for the low beams. Hoping it does the job, haven't been sent yet. If they work ebay has them for around $50 delivered.

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    A quick update, the resistor gets unbelievably hot within a minute of the lights being on. They worked as in the error was not present. I've had a couple of days to think on it and I'm just not comfortable using the JW resistor decoder. They were going to have to modify for them to fit which...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    My research over the weekend is hoping this might do the trick https://www.autobarn.com.au/el26659. If you can find stock at supercheap they have it on clearance for $2.00. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/j.w.-speaker-j.w.-speaker-canbus-resistor-decoder---led-h7/523574.html I'm not game...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Mine comes up pretty much straight away on start up. Generally comes up once more. Don't see it again until restart. I'm thinking of trying out a LED canbus decoder. I sent a message to the seller re: the LEDs, they couldn't help and suggested I send them back. Lights are fine, just need to...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    My error seems to pop up twice before it clears. It now comes up as soon as I start it up. Think I'll send the seller a message and ask if they know how to rectify. The good, very happy with the light output. I went for a country drive tonight to really test out.

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Thanks again, I was the one who purchased the last 2 sets from Amazon. Installed, definetely a lot brighter. Won't see the real difference until dark. I was a bit worried when I had some code problems, check left low beam bulb, then check right low beam bulb. Did you have this? Anyway...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Thanks for the reply. We are not on our own, see review below of 2019 RS. I mentioned the lights at my service, informed if there is a suitable replacement they would let me know, or possibly a software update. Unsure how that will fix it. There has to be a solution, surely...

    ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

    Hi all, I signed up in the hope that someone has found an affordable Led upgrade. I've had my RS since March 2019. Just ticked over 24000kms, still really wrapped with this car. But my bugbear is the poor low beam. I can't go into another winter driving home from work with these poor lamps...
