hi does anyone know how to unpair a device from the audio system? I don't want to just turn Bluetooth off every time I hop into the car, im just sick of it trying to connect every time I start it... is it as simple as disconnecting the battery etc? thanks in advance

might be easier to start the car and just wait 30 sec to get in..

you always can get them fitted behind the bottom grill... seen it done before looks great

ive had my 09 Calaisv 6L for over a month and didn't even know it did that. I thought when you shifted it over you had to change it manually... took it out for a run last night to try sports mode (got a good windy section on our road haha)

Got it home, gave it a wash and she came up good... keeping it clean will be tough as I live on a dirt road... white dust and dark blue don't mix well.. also cleaning the dash with that kind of texture what are the best tips? cheers

cheers. I did have my doubts on how nice it will ride and sound etc. no regrets getting it. I live 3 hrs out of Adelaide and have to go through the hills so I gave it a good test out. only used 30L to get home too with a good foot flat to get up to speed on the highway.. in short im fairly...

hi I just bought a ve m09.5 Calais. just thought id show it off here. I only have the dealer pics as I haven't picked it up yet... the waiting is killing me though haha. Stock standard with 150,000k's on it. once the finance is paid off will definitely look at modding it..

hi im looking at doing something with my vp. im getting a new car next month and if i dont do anything with it ill just end up selling it.. has anyone heard or put an alloytech into a vn/vp, can it be done? i was thinking of putting a 5L in it but thats nothing different or special thanks

well im just about to drive from perth to darwin (4040km) in my v6 vp... i am towing a 6x4 trailer and will be fully loaded. im taking $1300 with me. i have done the math and hopefully it will cost me $900 max for fuel. $650 without trailer worked out on 9.5l/100k (standard figures) i have just...

well the vp gear box is attached to the ecotec. sensors are made to fit and just running the loom to the gb... has anyone got plans/dimentions for the exhaust? ive got the stock manifolds on it, and the vp system (irs) up to the cat. from there i have nothing. got to get one made up i assume. if...

thanks, i got another vp box. picked it up cheap for $100 engine is almost wired up with vp loom and sensors... just have to extend the loom a bit, and get the adapter for the sensors... old engine and box

thanks, damn. might have to try find a loom and ecu now. the whole reason im doing this is cos the vp gearbox kicked it in....

yeah i am using the vp system, i just need to know about the gearbox. how to make an adapter for the sensor; or where to go to get one made up (in perth)

hey got a few issues, the gearbox from the vs has a totally different speedo sensor? can i just cut the wires off both looms and make an adaptor? if so does anyone know the colours to join? thanks also being pretty new to this sort of project (and technical lingo) what are the TPS, IAC, Knock...

attempting this conversion atm... giving me a headache though....

Im going to do this swap next month. im buying a VS V6 and auto box off a mate, and im getting an ECU off another mate. also ive been told that you need to fit the VS ignition barrel because the vn/vp key wont start the vs ecu (something to do with the metal strip on the key). anyway as soon as...

cool cheers ill have another look, i was wandering why there was multiple mountings for them.... love your signature... lol

here is a good one. last week my brake lights just stopped working. i checked everything i knew of. fuses, bulbs etc. then i left the car running at night with the headlights on and when i came back to the car i noticed that the brake lights were on..... :hmmm: so i did some more...

i have a similar problem, the button "fell" into the handle so i pulled the cover and boot off. the button was just lying on the bottom not connected to anything, as in there is no bar, cable until the bottom of the handle just above the spring??? i dont have a manual so can anyone help?

pricks, you should keep a weather eye out and do some damage to them...

i know in the NT you could get slim for the front and normal large for the rear... surly you can do that there.

oh... thanks

fault test with the paper clip??

Hi guys. when i start my VP it doesn't fire the first time, then on the second attempt it starts (just) and blows smoke (black). it isn't a cold thing because first time in the morn it usually starts 1st time (still smokes a little). Also when i go into gear (rev or drive) sometimes it just...

i had a vs that did that... got told it was the engine mounts.... but it did it in neutral and park too....

yeah it is i think... but it has a large crack in it from my driveway lol, so i have to either get it fixed or get a new one.... im looking at getting mine resprayed dont know what colour yet. thinking of poison ivy green (the new VE utes) or a nice gold (not like it is now).... im also...

well its all sorted now, got the new pump in.... the sender wiring had stripped the insulation off and shorted out (inside the fuel tank) and the plug on the pump itself was melted away.... so im lucky the fuse blew lol. ill put pics up later... total cost: $122

yeah i did a little investigating, its the fuel pump.... i put a new fuse in and it blew when i tried to start the car, so i pulled the fuel pump relay out and tried again and it didnt blow. then i looked in the boot where the f/p wires go through the floor (correct me if im wrong... lol i dont...
