Yes, I agree. There was no mention of a camera display on the ebay page. Dunno if that would be part of the CanBus digital stuff, I somehow doubt it, I use mine a lot and the guidelines that move with the steering wheel rotation are very handy! The other thing is it looks like the Double Din...

Yes, and surprisingly, every truck driver - including foreign LHD trucks (and there were loads of them), was very courteous and let me in no problem. Every Oz driver should be required to go to UK for a couple of weeks and see what they should be doing here! Driving back home through Sydney...

Bwahahaha... 'salesman/friend'? No such animal. Either friend or salesman, the two are mutually exclusive. Just got back from driving in UK/Ireland, I must say that most drivers there are very good - no tailgating, they let you merge nicely, give way when you indicate and change lanes, etc, etc...

Greetings all, Re my previous post where I said the dealer had updated my map on 20/3/18 but my pics of the screens said not... I was all set yesterday to drive to the dealer and have it out with them, especially after they sent me a confusing e-mail in reply to my complaint that didn't make...

Well, I told them from day one I wasn't going to pay for any updates and they have (seemingly) done that and they have been doing what they can to help at no charge, the problem seems to be that there is a lack of meaningful technical support from Holden - they keep getting the dealer to ask me...

A list such as that is what I have insisted from my dealer I want, I'm fed up with not knowing which software item in the lists does what and what is the latest version for each. I had my map updated last week on Tuesday, but upon looking at the software screens I see that they show exactly the...

Thanks for the pics and details. After scouring the Internet for a workable and affordable solution and looking at what you tried, I've come to the conclusion that I'm stuck with what I've got and I'll just go back to sticking my TomTom on the windscreen or using my iPhone with TomTom or Sygic...

Hi, I just saw your post, can you give me more information please? I'm interested in swapping my GPS (headunit?) out for something decent. Have you got any further with your conversion? TIA, Davo.

Since my last post my satnav has again resorted to randomly populating the map with ALL the available POI's, and it's a PITA because it clutters up the map. I can set them to off in the menu but they come back again fairly quickly. Resetting the radio makes them makes them go away for a longer...

So I spoke to the service manager, who wasn't convinced until he looked up my car's service history on their computer. He said that it is the same but he doesn't know how it was possible because if they try to load the same software MyLink doesn't allow it and presents a message to that effect...

As a result of my post where I said my SatNav had crapped itself (see pics on post #292, page 15), Holden service had my car today. They said there is a new MyLink software update available now, which they installed. They also said there must have been several people complaining about things...

TazzI, what type of Nav do you install into the non-nav MyLink? Is it a software or a hardware change? Is it the same as the Holden VFII satnav? Hopefully it's a better one.

Thanks for the info, TazzI. However, if I am correct, update 2 is done by people such as yourself - not a Holden dealer? In any case, I bet if I went to my Holden service guys and asked them about flashing MyLink they wouldn't have a clue what I'm talking about. I live in a small coastal town...

What I'd be interested in, Tazl, is if you can modify the MyLink to work with Apple CarPlay - you'd be on a winner there I reckon.

Maybe all us VF SatNav owners should pursue a class action, or at least send Holden and CA a joint complaint about the absolute crap responses we get and the out of date maps etc.

Hi all, I had my maps updated for free a couple of months ago (after a struggle) and then saw in the other SatNav forum that camera alerts were available for it - but it needed the MyLink software updated to enable it. I sent a message to Holden support about it and got a phone call from my...

Thanks for the heads up. I checked my car today and can't find any reference to cameras in any of the satnav or config settings, so it looks like I have downlevel software. Please let us know when you get the issue you mention resolved. Just a thought though... You have a Redline, maybe cameras...

Er... 'camera POI alerts' ?? More info please about the camera alerts, as far as I know my satnav doesn't have those and I think I was told by the sales guy when I bought it that cameras aren't available on it.

Let us know how it goes and post pics of new screens.

Yes, I just recently figured that out. LOL! Been used to TomTom and Sygic where they give you what you ask for every time. I still have my TomTom in the glovebox, just in case...

Hi all, I had my Calais SatNav updated on 14th March this year. The local dealer kept telling me there were no updates (bought the car new in Feb 2016). I got onto Holden webChat and the bloke told me (after I prodded him severely) that yes, there was an update (I knew that because it had been...

Well, "sneaky oversight" is probably the wrong term, it's more like lying by omission, i.e., in the e-mail they sent me they tout the MyLink connection as being wonderful and say you can download the free Android Auto app to do it but make no mention that the connection is not available on...

Wow! That looks good! Just what I'd like to have, bit on the exy side as you say but I reckon it'd be worth it. Probably can only be installed in Melb or Syd though, I'm in a small NSW South Coast town. I wish I'd seen that before I ordered the satnav option! :mad: Thanks for the link.

Hi, I just checked my VFII MY16 Calais and it found your street OK, but I had to enter it using the keyboard because the dozy woman :rolleyes: didn't understand what I was saying and gave me some other place instead. Cheers, Dave.

Yes, I'm fully aware that the satnav is built in and doesn't need Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, my interest is in getting the MyLink system to shake hands with Android Auto so that I can use my phone's apps on the MyLink display. As far as installing 'foreign' software on the MyLink goes...

At the time I bought it I was unaware that such a hook-up existed, it was only after I bought the car and received an e-mail from Holden about all the (supposed) wondrous things on MyLink that I became interested. They omitted to tell me that it is not available on current Commodores. A sneaky...

Hi all, I have a MY 2016 VFII Calais with satnav option, delivered 10th February. I read about the Android Auto thing and tried it the other day - and of course, it doesn't work! I e-mailed the sales guy I bought it from a couple of days ago and he said... "Android Auto and Apple carplay, at...

Re OP's post: Must be summat to do with a self check. I've had my 2007 VE Calais for about four years and it has done it from day one, I did wonder what it was but it has never bothered me to the extent that I thought there was a problem. Time to worry is when you don't hear it!

Will NTSC camera work on 2007 VE Calais screen? Hi All, No response to my question about cleaning the camera lens so I might as well buy another as they are so cheap. However, the one I have my eye on is only available in NTSC, will that display OK on my 2007 VE Calais screen? :hmmm...

Hi all, I fitted a reversing camera I got on e-bay (CCD HD CAR Rear View Reverse Parking Backup Camera FOR Holden Commodore NTSC PAL | eBay) to my VE Calais, also fitted a VIM module I got from Melbourne. All has been working fine for some months but now the picture is getting foggy. I can't see...

Thanks for the reply, decided not to bother with front camera for pretty much the problem you described, I was trying to come up with ways to protect the lens but gave up. Well, finally got the reversing camera fitted yesterday. I used a wireless unit to send the signal from the camera to the...

Hi, I got a reversing camera similar to yours, haven't put it in yet as I was thinking about fitting a front camera while I'm at it, easy to do with a relay to switch from front to rear - but I'm stumped at the moment as to how to get it to display camera without having to press the Aux button...

You mean the paint job? Yes, it looks really good, can't tell it isn't factory finish. They apparently didn't quite get the colour match first time, but they rang me about it because they weren't happy and said it'd take another couple of days. They had my car for four days in total. Very...

OK, but was the box posted through US postal service or did it come UPS? US Postal Service is better as UPS charge all sorts just to get the bloody thing delivered (or they used to years ago - customs and handling charges etc). Provence? Yeah sounds like it might be but I thought yours was...

Thanks mate. The shark fin guys are on holiday at the mo so I might look into it later, but how do they ship (USPS?) and did you pay the extra $10 for fast ship? Do you think they'd know my Calais paint code if I sent it to them? It's metallic light blue, haven't actually looked yet to see what...

Camera type? Hi, What camera did you get? Was it a CMOS or a CCD? and what is the angle of view? E-bay item number? Where did you get your shark fin antenna? Cool! Thanks. :beer chug:
