So far everything works except the factory usb port in the center console, not sure if I plugged something in wrong or if that’s expected but going to have a crack at getting that to work later today

You will need an adapter to go from holden USB to the head unit usb 4 pin - mine came with it

Yeah I’m pretty sure mine did to, plugged into that black looking plug that came out of here and then into what the little card said was the 4pin usb port on the unit maybe I didn’t seat it correctly will recheck today

That's correct. In essence it's just an extension cable so double check it's plugged properly.

Anyone had issues with the stock reverse camera? Mines got lines going through it, also seems like it’s low quality compared to the mylink and the static-ish lines make it really hard to see at night

No issues on mine. Exactly as my link.

I recently bought a VF2 Calais with heated seats, after searching around, most don't have cutouts for the heated seat switches, however there is 1 listing that I found that does have the cutouts for the switches.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKLGlyO

Unfortunately it looks like this is the only option to get a head unit suited for the heated seats. Although without having one here or the instructions I'm unable to even see where you would plug the switches into or if they would even work?

I was looking at the one VF300K posted but would require some modification to make the switches work.

If it's anything like this post:
https://www.ssforums.com/threads/finally-got-seat-buttons-to-work-with-aftermarket-head-unit.197498/

It's not "plug and play" and way above my pay grade.

Im a bit tied at the moment between a ksmart module and a complete unit, I would love to keep mylink as the factory buttons are useful but after today's trip (misses has been driving it since I bought it) I'm fairly disappointed in the stuttering on bluetooth the whole hour I was in the car and I have a feeling that a ksmart module will do the same. And not keen on spending $500AUD for a ksmart module for it to stutter and also not keen on spending $550 for Unit to arrive from China to find out the heated seats won't work with it or doesn't have cutouts, when I can buy a $270 Unit that I know definitively doesn't have heated seats.
