You need to extract the holden folder to the root of the usb key to update the system software then you need to setup everything again as it will be defaulted. The second file is for mcu which u extract to the usb key on its own to update it also.

Hi buddy, This is the files you need you extract them to a USB key formatted as fat32 and plug it into the usb port. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CcDbCtIZ2rPE9zdpPhWsDaL89-yLQyhq/view?usp=drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JLpwZo_Rwt60qCyQvSuxdJxP8jWtSBUB/view?usp=drive_link

Thanks for all the info @stooge. Is there any modification you can see or think would be good to make or change in the firmware? They supply the factory password so you can enable features and yes you are right about the manufacture that who I contacted directly to get the update from.

From what they told me it is mainly for the mirroring option

That is good to know would be good to have it modified to support showing the volume and the external temp which is missing but I have no experience in this.

when I get a new message or WhatsApp mine displays a notification on the screen and starts reading it straight away that is a setting which is enabled in the CarPlay setting if you want that. I have also received an update from the manufacture today the link is only valid for 7 days...

@snistr Have you tried turning off the oe moc option as the only options I have on are the driving radar and the aircon setting and everything else works like it should. That is weird my voice commands work fine I just say hey Siri or Siri and it works even reads my messages and...

If I disconnect the MyLink Bluetooth the audio stops straight away unless you plug in the Aux cable for the audio to play.

I am pretty sure as the only Bluetooth connection I have is to the Mylink I have included screenshots of my Bluetooth and wifi on my phone when connected Also the module is shown in my Bluetooth devices but is not connected

When I installed the module i did not have to put it into any kind of pairing mode it showed up automatically in my Bluetooth list as an available device which I just added and everything just worked. All I had to do was select the Bluetooth source once and now everytime I get in the car it...

Hi Buddy, So the audio definitely comes through the Bluetooth via mylink and the wireless CarPlay comes through the wifi. If I turn off the wifi on my iPhone the CarPlay does not display just says connecting to CarPlay have not tried the supplied usb as that is not plugged in. If I turn off...

@Anthony121 Does it display the ac info ? From CarPlay select Ksmart Auto home icon Scroll to settings System Factory Mode Advanced settings Enter 8818 Factory setting Scroll down to Driving radar tick the box then Apply Then keep pressing back then go back into factory Mode and click Reboot

@Anthony121 did u enable driving radar if not this is needed to get the unit to display the parking sensors front and rear.

@Anthony121 you can use the factory usb port to play music while using CarPlay but there is no sound from the CarPlay as this needs to be on the Bluetooth source. If you use the USB port on the module you need to connect the 3.5mm jack to the aux to get sound and select the aux input but you...

Sorry guys have been sick the last two days I will plug in the usb cable this weekend and test and report back if it works or not

Mine is set to auto boot so first the mylink starts up then a 30 seconds to a minute later the CarPlay auto starts.

I see, it was pretty easy and straight forward to install the scary part was removing trim for the first time

Auburn in Sydney

It was not that hard as long as you have trim tools to remove the trim and a drill and drive bits to unscrew the trim or the lady can install it for you I offered $700 for the unit then with eBay I got it for like $574 and the lady offered to install it for $200 cash

@Anthony121 bit hard to get a pic as I have to take it all apart but It is completely plug and play there is one harness that plugs into the radio then the radio and screen plug into the harness which plugs into the box. There js also a usb harness which u can plug in for firmware updates and...

Yes the Mylink is still in place as it uses all the factory mylink features still like the reverse camera and park sensors which u enable in the settings

This is the link Suoer Coah and if u have eBay plus you can get a discount https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325652698678?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=SsfmJxByRQu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rn1VBnaiTme&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hi @chrisp I have created a new thread for the module

Hi Guys, I purchased a wireless Apple / android auto module for my VF yesterday as I wanted to keep the factory look and not retrofit or modify the existing wiring or my car in anyway. It is a plug and play solution that allows you to retain all the factory features and all the steering wheel...

I placed it where the instructions showed in the passenger footwell. Also I have no issues with the audio quality for music play back or voice call via the Bluetooth

Yes mine is just a module that plugs in and you keep the original heap unit, and it also has a usb cable if you want to play videos and music from a usb

I bough this one today on eBay works great and uses the factory Bluetooth for the audio and it auto starts CarPlay when the car is turned on and the factory features work even the reverse camera compete plug and play also discounted with eBay plus at the moment...

Have you tried Supercheap auto they have some. Have had them on my cars for a few years now. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/search?q=Holden+seat&lang=en_AU

@Mattricho Thanks for that I was looking for that kind of info. I currently have the Phillips blue vision and one has just died after 2.5 years and was looking at a alternative but might just buy a new set and stick with them.

Hi Guys, Need to replace my dead globe and was thinking of doing a LED conversion and just came across this and it seems to be a bit cheap what do you think. https://gtautoparts.com.au/product/led-headlights-conversion-kit-full-package-holden-vf/

I believe Taz from Envyous Customs does it but you need to ship them the head unit and it needs a certain version of software loaded on it I tried to get Holden to load the requires version but they had no clue

Hi Ron, That is in the lastest update on my MY15

I have been looking at upgrading to leds also but was looking at these ones. https://blingworkauto.com.au/product/konik-led-h7-h9-t10-canbus-hi-lo-beam-headlight-holden-vf-commodore-hsv-gen-f-f2/

Will upload some photos when I get home tonight.

I have had them on the vf s1 since brand new and they are still in good condition and the on vf s2 they have also been on since brand new and no issues I have even washed them a few times and they come up like new.

I have a set of seats covers on the front of my vf that work with the airbags which I purchased super cheap auto. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Holden-Sports-Mesh-Seat-Cover-Black-Red-Adjustable-Headrests-Size-30-Front-Pair-Airbag-Compatible/387543

I had a look at them they look alright but I could not see anything saying they work with the side airbags in the seats which could be a issue.

Hey Ron, I believe there is a guy in Penrith who does the TPMS he might be able to do it if interested let me know and I will try and find this details as a member on the forum gave me his details.

I have a Holden set from super cheap on mine and they work great also have hsv ones and floor mats. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Holden-Sports-Mesh-Seat-Cover-Black-Red-Adjustable-Headrests-Size-30-Front-Pair-Airbag-Compatible/387543?menuFrom=1021676
