I just had my 2003 VY S/C V6 Calais cluster enabled in "Police Mode" by local GMH Dealer . Cost $66 ,they have to do whats called "A Diagnostic Check" (which means plug in their Tech Scanner & press a few buttons to talk to the Car ECU to get it into "Police Mode") . Well worth the dough, the large readout is superb, I cant stop looking at it , specially at 225 kph indicated!!!!!!

Do all the vy's run on tech2? I have a december02 vy exect.. Just curious as to if it'd work?

Cost $66

It takes about 20 seconds to do, so that's $11,000/hour in labour

Yes.

I'm currently getting my VYII enabled at Penfold Holden in Burwood, and they keep reiterating to me that "their not suppose to do it due to liability issues" if I get caught speeding etc etc. look, I know that it's a problem for them if I trust the digital speedo, but why make is standard in the VZ and VE if it's going to be a problem?? I just want the digital readout ok? lol

how do ya turn ya dashlights off without turning your headlights off aswell. and when has a vt ever had a digital speedo?

yeah how do they get turned off (VT 1 9C1) without headlights off? this would be really handy as i do a fair bit of night highway driving and hate having all the dash lights on cause they are really bright when there are no other cars around. I love having the digital speedo, i have noticed that the dial speedo lags in a quick take off! the digital can skip numbers so it can increase quicker!

Sounds like a load of crap. Garry and Warren Smith Holden in oakleigh did mine for free with a service .

Just called north city holden in osborne park, asked for police mode digital speedo mod for a vu. After talking to two techs the lady said that "they dont have the program to change it". This is the second time I have talked to them and the second time I feel let down...
My friend is a mechanic and he has a diagnostic handheld computer thing but im not sure if its "tech 2", can any compatable reader do this mod?

i saw this thread and liked the idea, took my car down to SUNCO HOLDEN on wises road in maroochydore, the guys there did it in less than 2 minutes, no charge, no hesitation... very helpful. and i looooove the benefits of it, my analogue is out about 2/3 kms
