Annoying **** with VF

[426Cuda]

On the VE series 2 I used to be able to dim all the lighting apart from the instrument cluster, was very useful on long night drives, cannot figure out how to do it in the VF, my dealer has no clue.

EDIT - Worked out if you use voice control & say "display off" it turns LCD screen black. Useful as I'm starting a drive to Melbourne from Sydney tomorrow morning at 3am..

You can do this through the Mylink menu too.

^^ Haha, what Tim said.

Anyone know how to stop the car from tooting its horn when you exit the car with engine running and the key in your pocket?

This annoys me immensely, sometimes have to help someone get into the car, or open the boot and it will annoying toot the horn as a warning I have left the car running. Is there a way to disable this?
Car is a 2014 SSV Redline. I have looked in the vehicle settings but couldn't see a 'vehicle running' reminder.
Thanks for any help.

I am sure you can disable the tooting in Mylink.
Just flick through the menu settings and it is in there somewhere.

I find the fact that the series 2 is coming out with massive changes which will drop the price of series 1 annoying. I always was a firm beliver that when a model comes out VE VF that the core mechanics remain unchanged but the series 2 would be somwhat refined. Just my opinion

got to agree, glad I haven't got a early VF they will drop quite a bit due to 6.2.

It will be like the VT series 1 5Litre motor and the series II with LS1, no one wants the early VT's and prices reflect that.

Just hope they don't make it pig ugly in front like the new cruze

You can disable this through mylink i believe it's in the security systems

Cool. Will take another look. Had a quick look this morning but couldn't see it.

Damned if I can find it...this issue is my pet peeve, really pisses me off! I went through mylink with a fine tooth comb and I can find no option to turn off this irritating feature

It is there I turned it off last week

Settings then either in vehicle security or driver convenience I think. It is a tick box for remote left in vehicle.

I have that setting turned off... but that setting doesn't change the fact that if you get out of the car for a moment (say to open a gate) and the key is in your pocket (and not in the car) it beeps the horn LOUDLY three times to tell you the remote isn't in the car. Great way to wake up half a street at 2am!
