I know this is not any help at all really but... I'm selling my VZ SV6 at the moment. 5sp Auto. There's heaps of them out there but, as you've said, not many 6sp Manuals.

Yeah, I was pretty much set on an SV6 when I got mine. I really wanted a Turismo one but, same deal as you and the cream interior Calais - fairly rare and seemed to be priced a bit higher as well as having owners who weren't too willing to budge on price. Even the car yards seemed to value them...

Yeah, there's no difference in performance based on tech specs and I know they are the same engine and everything except again, I base my statement on the drive, mine definitely goes slightly harder and clearly a different exhaust note as it goes up the gears. Does anyone know what was...

In that case I'd say a Calais is a good idea. My personal thought is that it isn't enough of an upgrade to warrant the effort and money (when I already have such a similar car).. Then again, that's me, I have decided I'm not keeping mine too much longer - going to upgrade in the new year...

My dad has an '05 VZ Calais, I often drive it on weekends. I have an '05 VZ SV6... both are completely stock. I think they are both great cars and very very similar. Really down to personal preference - whether you like the sporty look and feel of an SV6 or the features and luxury of a...

Damn, that's bad luck. I would take it to your nearest Holden service centre. As I said I don't know much about it at all but you've pretty much narrowed it down at least to the car being the problem. If you take it to Holden they can figure it out for you. And it will probably be less...

Have you tried starting the car with the key and then while it's running press the lock button (with the door closed) then unlock then restart the car. Try the key then.. I had the same problem when I first got my car. Took it to the dealer and they said it happens from time to time usually...

PM sent Hope you find them

Thanks guys! PM on the way shortly Juzo.

The drivers door speaker in my VZ SV6 has started distorting and cutting out, I haven't taken it out to have a look but I think its stuffed and not a loose connection. I know most (if not all) of you will tell me to replace them with something better and heck anything would be better then the...

Don't know if this helps... JHP Vehicle Enhancements - Specialise in Holden Monaro and Commodore Spoilers, Body Kits, Tyre and Wheel Packages. stumbled across it and remembered this thread.

Thank you very much Calaber! It was the carpet on the boot lid preventing the switch from fully retracting. I adjusted the carpet slightly out of the way of the switch and now it works like new. Such a simple thing, as soon as I knew where the switch was it was obvious what was wrong. Thanks...

I hope this hasn't already been asked, I have searched but had no luck. Didn't know whether to put this here or electrical and wiring. I have a VZ Calais and the boot light only turns itself on sometimes. If you open the boot it doesn't turn on so you have to kind of shake it -...

Yes it is as simple as plug and play - as long as you have the correct PIN from the new unit it will perfectly. I got a 6 stacker from a VY SS in my VZ SV6. Getting a unit from a ute is the only time you'd have problems - you'd have to get the rear channels enabled from Holden - definitely worth...

P's all together. I know, it isn't long and am so tempted to just risk it, but I'm going to wait - I'll have saved up extra cash by then so will be able to afford something newer and better anyway. You could buy mine then :) My first car was a 4cyl 2.2L Vectra so upgrading to my SV6 was a...

If you got your license after July 1st 2007 you cannot have any performance mods, no supercharged or turbocharged and no v8's at all. Your point regarding the police not knowing etc is quite valid and of course you could remove badges etc to make it even harder to tell or whatever but it...

There are a few threads on this kind of topic around.. I would recommend looking through the forum - people post threads about their particular issues they are having and other members help work through their problem or give advise etc. Find some and have a read. This is what I did when I...

phreddy can also add rca output from your factory head unit (vy/vz) to allow you to connect it to an amp if you wanted meaning you could get louder sound out of your factory unit. also meaning you keep your steering controls and all the stock features of the stock system. plus the original...

hey shack, phreddy is currently on his roadshow - left for melbourne this morning. I am booked in for this week to get the same thing as you want done.. i am pretty sure he is heading to brissy at some stage in the coming weeks, i don't know if he has the ability to check his emails at the...

Hi there, not sure but I think 'DLK' is the spoiler: First two letters stand for the type (Deck Lid) then the third letter stands for the type/model (K). for example, 'SWI' is Sedan Wing (type) I. I think.. Hope I could be of some help :)

Hi there Calaber, I seem to recall phreddy saying that if it's just a few buttons that are scratched (not the actual fascia of the unit) then those buttons can be simply snapped out and then snap in some new ones. - I think it requires some stripping down of the unit but I couldn't imagine it...

It works! Just an update for anyone in doubt about installing a VY 6 stacker in a VZ I can tell you 100% that it works if you have the PIN for the new unit. I have just installed a unit from a VY SS in my VZ SV6 and it works no problems - just pulled the old one out, put the new one in and...

Just wondering how many different dash colours there are in the VY/VZ range. I know there was a black and a grey colour in the VZ's any others? Are they the same in the VY? Also do they match (example grey in VY match grey in VZ?) I ask because I finally decided to buy a 6 stack cd player...

Just an update for anyone interested.. I've got no reply from Holmart Holden Parts as yet. I spoke to a guy at NVU and they don't have the 6 stackers but he thought that if i found a VY one it would work with no problems. I PM'd Phreddy and he said it would work. And I emailed my local holden...

Cheers, I will give them a go.

I have an '05 VZ SV6 and want to put in a 6 stack cd player. I want a stock one if I can find one. I have a few questions about doing this though: Is there any difference between the VZ and the VY 6 stackers? - Same part numbers?? Will a VY one slot straight in and work with no problems...
