    Dealership spare parts, do these guys know what they're talking about?

    In that case then, where is the best place for me to find the parts numbers I need?

    Dealership spare parts, do these guys know what they're talking about?

    I didn't. What difference would that make? He did know I'd bought the car in the last week, and I did tell him the model.

    Bluetooth audio from phone vs ipod connector

    I'm using the ipod connector, I didn't think of trying the 3.5mm jack—I'll do that tomorrow. But there is a definite difference, at least on my system. Try it next time you're in the car, start playing something that has good audio range (play it via BT), and then plug the ipod adapter in and...

    Bluetooth audio from phone vs ipod connector

    I like this idea, which then leaves the USB available for a USB key with music too I suppose. I do find the music navigation on the "system" a bit hard to use; it's slow, search by first letter only, unresponsive to some touch, hard to do while driving—not that operating your phone's music...

    Bluetooth audio from phone vs ipod connector

    I have noticed a dramatic difference between audio played through bluetooth from my iphone compared to using the iphone thru the ipod connector. I have found that the bluetooth sounds satisfactorily, however, thru the ipod connector it is tinny and really crap. I have tried playing with the...

    Dealership spare parts, do these guys know what they're talking about?

    I only have the parts numbers as I found in one of the threads here. When I said I had something (ie the part numbers) he said, my numbers would be wrong anyway. When I asked him for the parts numbers he had, he said, "it doesn't matter, you don't need them." 92186334 boot 12v adapter—I'm...

    Dealership spare parts, do these guys know what they're talking about?

    I feel that everytime I ask my Spares guys a question, they're just stuffing me around. I asked them for the coin tray/front smokers box, albeit, not the smokers version (I just want the big box). I got a price of ~$60 for the box alone (I had heard that's the holden price) but was then...

    fake handbrake on centre console left side, replaceable with phone holder???

    Ahh ok, that is a pretty crappy holder. But better than nothing I suppose. But my Holden guy says that Holden don't do holders. He also says a lot of other things that are plain wrong, but I'll start a new thread about that another time.

    Holding the current gear

    But that's the problem, if you decide you want to hold the current gear you are in, unless you are in active select, you can't. Whether in normal or sports mode, you MUST change out of the current gear to activate active select, which in itself, goes against what you are trying to do. Is...

    Series 2 - Reverse Camera

    I'm having the same problem, however I find it's intermittent. Usually only happens when first starting the car, but can really happen anytime. Usually once the car's out and on the move, the reverse camera works fine, ie after trying to reverse further down the track.

    reverse camera text

    SV6 Sedan, at the top—personally, I'd just like it gone! Or why can't it just come for a second and then disappear?

    fake handbrake on centre console left side, replaceable with phone holder???

    Sweet, thanks for that. When I spoke to Holden last week they had no idea. I'll give them a ring tomorrow when they open and give them this and see how we go. Likewise, if anyone has any pics, I'd like to see it too.

    Holding the current gear

    With the advent of the sport mode button being removed and activating on sliding the gear level to the left, how does one go about holding the current gear you're in? example, in traffic speeding up, and I want to hold this gear as I approach another vehicle. I don't want it to change up and...

    fake handbrake on centre console left side, replaceable with phone holder???

    So far no good. I was just in at my local holden dealer, and they aren't aware of any holder that mounts in that area of the console. Jonnoo, if you can get a part number of your mate that would be good

    fake handbrake on centre console left side, replaceable with phone holder???

    I did realise why it was there, ie the shape and all. Jonnoo, any idea what I search for? I've been looking but coming up nada. I want to go to holden tomorrow, I'll see what they have. Thanks

    fake handbrake on centre console left side, replaceable with phone holder???

    Opposite the handbrake on the left side of the console, where there is what appears to be a second handbrake, but it's just a fixed piece of plastic... (sorry, can't think of anyway to describe it)... Is anyone aware of a replacement section for that that would be suitable as an iPhone mount...

    Lock nuts

    I hadn't really considered it, but after reading the funny thread on wheel nuts and someone started talking about lock nuts. I'm thinking I'd like to get a set for my SV6, but everywhere I am looking, I only see chrome, and one even looked like an anodised golden coloured. 1) Does anyone...

    Do you really have to turn the radio on to make a phone call or listen to the ipod?

    Yeah, that might work, but then you'd have to make sure you plug the ipod/phone into the usb cable BEFORE turning the ignition on... I'll give the silent track a go, that should do the trick

    Do you really have to turn the radio on to make a phone call or listen to the ipod?

    I'm using the ipod input under the console. If I was using that before a phone call then it goes back to that. When I unplug the ipod (from the cable, not the USB input—I leave the usb cable in there) it still goes back to the radio. I might make a cd with a single silent track and store it...

    mods to the osd

    I have a VE SII SV6 which only has the single display between the speedo and tacho. The options in there are pretty pointless if you ask me. I would never use the "distance to go" function, and there seems to be no way to skip it. I do like to know my average fuel usage, but average speed...

    Do you really have to turn the radio on to make a phone call or listen to the ipod?

    I don't quite get it. I got into the car, and as I pulled away I wanted to call someone. I'm pressing the "phone" button on my steering wheel. No go. I press the phone button near the main display, still no go. I then turn the radio on, listen to music for the next umpteen seconds while I try...

    reverse camera intermittent black screen

    understood, I went to the service shop for another matter (fixed on the spot) and told them about the camera. They said it's not a known issue (as you've just said as well), and to book it in. Done, thanks The reason I question it being possibly buggy is that my brother works with a lot of...

    reverse camera intermittent black screen

    I picked up my SV6 series II on Tuesday and when I did, the reverse camera just had a black screen (with the red/yellow/green overlay), but no picture. The sales rep tried a few times and as we pulled into the service area, the screen was fuzzy, but still not viewable. The service guy just...

    Power Sockets

    I've searched under the trim, I can't find the plug point in any wiring where I could install the 12v socket. Can anyone give me a heads up as to where it is? I thought it might be on the side close to the battery, but just couldn't seem to find it. If there is no actual plug, can anyone guide...

    A-Pillar mount wiring, how to on the SV6 Series 2

    I found online a mounting kit for the tomtom (anything for that matter) which can go on the A-pillar. I dont want to have a power cable draped anywhere, and was wondering what wiring I would find under the drivers side A-pillar? I don't have the smokers pack, but is there a plug for a...
