- VF II SV6 wagon
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a flat bottom steering wheel with the paddle shift buttons as a genuine part for my VF series 2 wagon. Fitting the wheel was simple enough and it is certainly a nice upgrade, but have come to the last step in the instructions which requires the vehicle to taken to a dealer so that the paddle shift option can be enabled in the BCM.
As seems likely to be the way with getting anything from the remaining GM "dealers' in 2023, they either don't even return calls from the service department after a receptionist answers the phone, or when I do get through to some of them they quote some insane price of $400+ for doing a few minutes of work (it is clear none of the people who answer phones in the service departments were ever technicians). I understand these guys have overheads and all, but does anyone know of any dealers in the Melbourne area who would do this job for a reasonable price, or know anyone else who would have the equipment to enable this option for me?
