Still have my 06 SSV and still look forward to driving it everyday! Recently had Varex installed and I think they are great. Can go from a awesome growl (no too loud) to a quieter than stock stealth mode with the touch of a button... fantastic. Would happily buy and recommend V8 VE to anyone.

Camera on ebay - look for reversing camera as it reverses the image otherwise a regular camera will make the left appear on the right. VIN mod from No Limits in Melbourne (check previous posts). They also had the cables.

Yep, have had mine going for some time and its fantastic! I did get the VIM(allowing video to remain on) from No Limits in Melbourne and they mailed to up to me, unfortunately Adrian is no longer with them but they should still be able to help. They can also supply the AV cable which allows you...

Have a look at the 4th post on this thread.....follow the link.

3 years old and just the other day my kids were in the car listening to the CD player, was up loud for approx 40 mins.........stopped working and the car was dead, couldn't even pop the boot! Called roadside assist, immediate start with charge pack and been ok since, but I'm not playing the CD...

YEP! I had Holden do a Oil Consumption test (basically fill it up and notify them if the warning comes on again. They check the amount consumed over the distance travelled and time frame.) I had an oil warnings prior to my service interval starting at about 50K km's. Holden ended up...

Had the same issue, except mine showed 1/4 one day and empty the next. I thought it was odd but i trusted the previous day's reading and...ran out of fuel. I argued with the dealer who said he needed to drop the tank to confirm fuel level, to do this he had to also drop the exhaust and drive...

Had a look at the site, not much info on actual benefits. What is the current Sydney price of LPG anyway? Power increase? If anyone has this done, please let us know.:thumbsup:

Cool, don't need it but did not know it existed - thanks.

No, once you go out of Engineering Mode, the only way back is to switch off and on again.

Err...buy Sat Nav from Holden.?....Set you back 2-3 thousand.

Not sure how much as they were replaced due to an accident (had someone rear end me) and I asked if I can get a sports system rather than the std, to which the repairer agreed! I was always sceptical as to noticeable power improvement with only the cat back but I honestly, I get a buzz each...

I recently had my std exhaust replaced with an X-Force 2.5" cat back at Castle Hill Exhaust. What a difference! Sounds great, not too loud but beefy but my biggest surprise was the noticeable power increase. Don't know how much as I've never dyno'd it but you can feel it! Everything else is std...

There are a lot of interesting packages out there; you can get a GPS with a wireless camera so when you put the car in reverse, it sends the signal to the GPS and the screen switches over to camera, good if you don't have a colour screen. There are lots of different small camera around which...

I just create a folder (or folders), drop MP3's into it and that's it. On the screen, each folder is called a playlist but it's just a folder. You can fit many albums on 1 CD or their equivalent number of tracks - it's great. Have not needed to use the .pls extension.

tips are somewhat sooty, must be rings in that case....waiting for Holden to get back to Holden to get back to me....if you know what I mean.

10000Km's ago I posted that my engine oil light went on. Holden started an oil consumption report and asked me to notify them if it happens again. Yesterday my oil warning light went on again. I took the car in this morning and they measured the loss, 3.1 litres in 10K km's. I believe the...

I was curious with all the new stereo's with built in DVD and TV, if anyone has actually managed to get a good TV picture in their car? Yes we all know it's illegal to have video etc on while vehicle in motion blah blah blah.... point taken but technically speaking, with all these fancy...

I'm relieved that i don't have to spend the next few weeks pondering what might have caused it had they not found anything, oh and the $$$.....and embarrassment.

That's funny. Never thought to ask the price.::yeah:

Great news! Holden refitted the tank, put in 20 litres of fuel, performed some further tests and discovered the reading from the fuel sender did not provide the reading they expected. They did not elaborate but they said they replaced the sender unit and now all is ok, and all work performed...

I did see the empty tank, I was surprised they could not check for fuel any other way. The customer service guy said they follow a documented process when investigating this type of fuel fault and it instructs them to remove fuel tank for confirmation. They will reassemble, put in 20 litres and...

Last Sunday when i started my car, I had a big cross warning on the display saying Contact dealer, then ABS, then ESP, then Engine lights and back to Contact Dealer. The fuel guage also appeared to be dead? The car appeared to run OK so I thought I'd take it to dealer Monday, but I drove it to...

Can anyone confirm whether on a SSV or similar, the front AUX input is just audio input or is it Audio-Video? The rear aux input allows video input as well (used by rear DVD if fitted to show picture on front screen)and although the front is a 3.5mm socket, you can get a 3 stage plug with...

There have been many similar posts. You can use the rear AUX input (which is actually some specific Holden cabling if you don't already have a DVD installed) and any AV input should work. You can have the screen on up to about 3km/h, after that it will switch off. There is a group in...

Hmmm now you mention it....

I get 14.5l/100k when I drive 'gently' around town.(approx 450k/tank) I get 20l+/100k when I 'play' (320 l/tank)and I get as low as 9.6l/100k (approx 700l/tank)on interstate trips. Generally I seem to be around 16.5l/100k.

Faaaaaaaaaark! That is insane!!! street legal or not, that is one serious bit of work! Love to know how it runs against...well ..anything!!:thumbsup:

To be honest, I did not check. Brand new car, warranty etc, I thought I'd let service be responsible but did not consider them being irresponsible. It was down way past the add mark and I think CSP might be correct and they did not top it up last service, otherwise there should be other tell...

The other day I started the car and an oil warning displayed on the centre display. I stopped the car and checked the oil and it was low, about 3cm from the bottom of the dipstick. Strange, no drips, no smoke. I went and topped it up with a semi synthetic. Any ideas why this may have occured? It...

How funny, I remember this! my mate had an old holden...can't remember which one, might have been HZ... but we had the vents spinning for ages while on a drive from Sydney to Adelaide and they would humm from the speed. Was very funny.

Have had no issues and I can tell and smell the difference. The pollution setting also works well ( hold recycle for 3 seconds i think) where the system automatically go to recycle at speeds below 20kmh, then back to outside as you exceed it, great for traffic lights when old smokin junks are in...

I actually don't have rear parking sensors. Yes I have a rear camera but my screen switches off at 3 km/h and I find it's set too low to be useful for that purpose. Sure I can connect other stuff to it, DVD, TV Tuner, games...in fact any AV input. Great viewing while I'm waiting for the...

I want it for the rear camera in the case of parking, trailer or caravan, so you can check on the load. That would also assist the driver..

The bluetooth will only activate when your phone does. You will find that after you use the phone and hang up, your phone might go into 'lock' after some time without you realising it. When it does this it will activate the 'voice in' and then disconnect. The 'voice in ' means the blue tooth has...

Has anyone actually had luck in getting the dealer to disable the speed safety feature from the front screen? I know a lot of VE owners (Calais, SSV)who are asking if this has been done or is it just a rumor? I for one am desperate to get this done but can't find anyone who is even able to...

Lucky bastards, I knew it!

If you Google video 'Supercharged Vauxhall' (Holden in UK), you will find the GT8 in a supercharged version, the last Monaro in the UK came out supercharged (look up supercharged Monaro) and yet here you cannot buy a VE with factory superchargers. I think the last Monaro was also a 6litre motor...

Don't know much about these but found this on the net today you might want to consider. "A gear-drive timing set being promoted and sold via a few discussion groups is not such a good idea. Many engine builders know for longevity you do not want to use aftermarket gear-drive timing on an engine...

Yep, don't even think about the pillars anymore. Chime - yes it's somewhat annoying.....what if you put your belt on before you start the car, I'm guessing it will not chime? No entry faults, have had the LCD display go blank once but has never done it again. :thumbsup:
