Hi Everyone, haven't asked anything on here in ages but I'm trying to put a new/old Pioneer DEH headunit in the sons VZ crewman. I have attached a photo of the plug that came out of the VZ and it only has 4 solid color wires plus the blue aerial. I have looked at the wiring diagrams in here...

I did check the dates prior to responding, apologies my original quote confused you. I was referring to the issue I had by quoting the original but it was another possibility for MAC1 to check who asked a question on the 05 Mar 2013.

Exact issue mine was having, was never the same after I changed the radiator, kept overheating, losing coolant, no leaks anywhere, very frustrating. Felt like a goose when I finally went to get it pressure tested and they said I had put the overflow hoses on the wrong way. How the hell I...

Thanks to everyone for the input, much appreciated. Found this on ebay, thought it seemed like a reasonable price after doing a quick online search with Supercheap etc. Should arrive by Wednesday or Thursday so will update once all done. Holden VS -V6 Heater Tap & Hose Kit GATES QUALITY | eBay

Jesus you blokes are too damn quick. Love your work. My first question was going to be is that the heater tap. The top hose sheared off and the one underneath where that was is leaking badly. Car had only been going for about 5 mins when temp alarm went off and temp guage skyrocketed...

Sorry Guys, had to post this pic from home before work, will update thread when I get to work tonight.

If you think they might snap, better off pulling the side vents out and once out, push the clip up with a screwdriver.

Final word, I thought about the the patch lead for around $100 bucks and the Stinger but as the stereo is not even worth that much, just won't bother. Maybe down the track. At least by pulling the dash and all the previous **** wiring apart and doing things properly with the pioneer adapters I...

Okay, so I got a quick response back from the AERPRO site, their products definately do not allow our steering wheels controls to work with after market head units so I think from that side of things, their site needs to be updated at the least to make it easier to find this stuff out without...

StoneX, glad you chimed in after the advice you gave last time was spot on re the ground and the RCA leads. After reading what you said I went back to the AERPRO site and they talk about these harnesses and also a patch lead that you plug into the input. The only input I can see on the head...

KrisG - thanks for the link and the info about the Berlina plug fitting, happy that the Calais is definately standard then but different from the Berlina, you've been a great help. Gamblr, the link KrisG sent me was from your old post so glad you responded as well. How did the VT harness go...

Thanks KrisG, there are extra pins for antenna up/down etc and a couple of others, the problem is the AERPRO adapter above is supposed to be the adapter that allows your steering wheel controls to work for aftermarket head units. The problem is it doesn't fit what I believe to be the standard...

Hi All Have had the dash apart for various reasons and thought I would try one of the AERPRO aftermarket harnesses that is supposed to give you steering wheel controls to aftermarket head units. It turned up today after 2 weeks from Supercheap and even though it is the VR/VS harness, it is...

Just for the sake of others on here, how much out of interest and did you get something fancy or just a similar lining done.

Mate, do it yourself over Christmas, it's a piece of piss. There's a sensational write up on this site that someone did and you'll be stoked with the results. You can customise with whatever material you want from somewhere like spotlight, some spray adhesive and some new padding foam, total...

Tried everything when mine went, had a hole in the reserve vacuum canister which is attached under the front of the left guard (round black plastic canister with single vacuum hose coming off it). First taped this up with electrical tape because I thought, how much could it possibly make a...

Hi All The below are on Ebay from the US. Size pending, are these suitable for our climate control units, I don't understand electrical but these are 14v, why the difference. Holden don't stock our bulbs anymore and mine have stopped working, they don't look blown but I have had the climate...

Thanks everyone, as usual plenty of good advice, will be able to have a shot at it on Thursday so will post again with best result. Cheers, Glenn.

Hey All Bloody bonnets stuck down and I can't get it up (it's not an age thing or anything viagra will fix) either. I believe the bonnet was completely removed to do the heads last year and it wasn't realigned perfectly so I bent the little latch inside the hole the locking pin goes into and...

StoneX, as per usual I misunderstood. I have securely taped the wire around the RCA leads but I have ground it the metal frame of the car where the head unit slides into. I have secured it behind one of the screws holding the head unit in and have run a new earth for the head unit to the screw...

StoneX you are de man. Engine noise gone, now you have given me the answer to the problem, can I hit you up for the solution. Is the ground fuse something I can replace or is it just a new set of RCA leads. Thanks for your help with this, I was about to pull out the little bit of hair I have...

Thanks StoneX - the latest is, I pulled the amp and wiring out of the boot and into the back of the car where I had a bit more control. I pulled the head deck out and pulled the original ground wire apart and attached the ground wire of the head deck to where the original setup had been as seen...

Apologies for taking so long to get back to this thread, I work very slowly and get very frustrated with how easy a task should be but how difficult I make it. Battery drain problem was the boot light staying on, the original earth for the amp was running to it and when I took it off, obviously...

Battery was given a very clean bill of health when it was recharged at the shop so am happy it's not that. I'm pretty sure you couldn't turn the head unit on without the accessories on but can't check that now until I get either the battery charged again if it will or a new battery. Will have...

StoneX, instructions worked to a tee. Got battery fully charged at battery world for free which I was happy with. Hooked everything up and worked instructions to change from sub to rear speakers, music from speakers yahoo. Bit of interference but good enough until after installation. Parked...

Much appreciated for the comments, will give it another go this arvo. Have the battery on trickle charge now because it drained it playing around for so long. The fuse issue isn't a missing fuse, it is just a single fuse. Happened upon a show and sound at BDL car stereo in Fyshwick today but...

Sorry AmmoJammo I picked up on you writing that earlier, this is probably a stupid question but how do you plug something else into the amp. Am willing to try anything at this stage. Kept playing all afternoon with no luck, when the head deck is not secured and not touching anything metal...

Have been through all the functions on the head unit and cannot find how to change the setting from rear to sub. The instruction manual indicates this function is supported through this unit and shows how to do it, but when I go through the steps it says, the menu item is not in the unit. Is...

Sorry I posted what type of head unit it was the other night but now I look again, it's not there so I must have been half asleep. It's a pioneer DEH-4350UB. I'll try and find how to change those settings and let you know. The head deck has worked fine to date and he did have it hooked up...

Hi Techo's Thanks for the input to date, finally able to get into the car this morning, checked RCA leads, coming from head unit R/Sub out to input channels on amp then just normal speaker wire to correct - and + on the speakers. Am definately getting power into the speakers but what I have...

Thanks StoneX, all the settings are as can be seen below. I'm sorry I can't be more help, I have never had an amp in a car and there were no manuals with it. I tried to search for BOSS stuff but it must be that cheap they just don't bother. Sorry I realised when I looked at the picture that...

Hi All Apologies but another amature question and try and stop laughing and puking before you answer. I picked up the pictured BOSS amp and a set of BOSS 6 x 9in 4 way speakers for $43. I have read reviews etc so I don't need to hear how shite BOSS stuff is but I'm not young and I'm not into...

Spot on George, sorry for not getting back earlier, had to take the Calais to Melbourne with a fishing Kayak on the roof so the console and everything went back in in a hurry. Just pulled everything apart again today and you are spot on. When the dick heads replaced the heads last November...

Ok, still need help please as I need to put the interior back together ASAP. Have been sent some great diagrams and advice from BlackVXGTS which has been really appreciated. Troubleshooting so far has been performing the diagnosis on the solenoid block that the different vent hoses run off and...

Cheers KAL SPL, hoping to avoid it but good to know. Have definitely ruled out any hoses off the back of the actuator, all connected strongly, interesting though that the orange hose (floor duct actuator) and the black hose (vacuum source) are both connected to the middle two (number 3) hose...

Further to above, I found a diagnostics procedure for the climate control at https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/how-diagnose-climate-control-faults.125577 and thought I'd have a go. I went through the whole procedure and the displays I got were exactly the same for each step as what...

Thanks for the pm with the diagrams BlackVXGTS. Have located the solenoid pack but the diagrams make it look like there is a lot more give than what you actually get. I can hardly move it enough to see the colored hoses but all appears to be in place. Is it likely that just one or two of the...

Hey Mate I know nothing about the gearboxs except that my auto in my VS was making all sorts of noises and running like ****, reco was out of the question and a bloke in Canberra said if I sourced a 2nd hand box he would install it for $860. What a crook. Found this link, drove my car 3...
