HOLDEN-IQ in Series 1

[bdc74]

Hi all. I have looked everywhere I can think of without luck.

I was curious to know if I could put a series 2 IQ system in to a Series 1 SSV Wagon and if so any ideas on costs and where to get it done?

Cheers heaps,

Brett

Maybe holden can do it ? i dono but i am sure intrested, i shall be keeping an eye on this thread

The short answer is no. It would be far too involved and probably end up being cheaper to sell the car and buy a Series II. Just to give you an idea, you can't even fit satnav to a Series II after it's left the factory because there is no way of linking it all up.

I priced it for several customers when the Series II came out and IIRC it cam out around the $9-10k mark just for parts.

when you say far too involved - can you explain a bit better here? Are head units's sizes PHYSICALLY different between the two models? Seems to me that from S1 to S2 there usually is not that much change done internally and if you took an IQ from the same equipment levelled car -ie SSV Sportwagon then there would not be too much difference?

I am only hypothesising here though!

As far as I can remember, a fair bit of the dash has to be changed as the displays are different. Head unit alone is over $1500. Then you would need to work out which wiring needs to be changed, which other bits the IQ system needs added to function properly, and how/if it can all be linked together while retaining functionality of the car's original equipment. I think it's all linked to the dash so that may well need to be changed.

The climate control or air con control panel is also part of the stereo fascia and Series II is different to Series I. I can't remember if the heater box is different but many things are. The module that controls the climate or air con is different in the Series II aswell.

Unfortunately many of the changes made to the VE for Series II were interior tweaks.

I've got a mate who still work in development at Fishermans bend and he told me that the IQ is a Volkswagen unit.

Your not really going to like my post.

There is another mob that does the exact same thing as jhp for $1500

Even worse news,
I got mine for $420 from a wrecker, and all of the trim bits for another $200 (including piano black shifter insert, surrounds, and a lot of the bits that jhp do not supply with their kit)

Once you have all the required bits, you then need to program the vin number in the main unit using an EEPROM programmer, and swap over a couple of wires on the plugs (the plugs are the same, just the wires are in different locations)

The problem with the jhp kit is that they use a non sat nav unit. So if you want sat nav later, you pretty much have to get a whole new unit, as the non sat nav units are missing the tms and sat nav boards, and they cannot be retro fitted because the secondary board is missing the connect to connect these boards.

The only reason why I haven't fitted my iq system up is because I have factory series I gps, which I use quite often, and my iq unit is from an omega. (hence the reason why I am now looking for an iq unit from a calaisv or ssv with the nav boards fitted)

Wait... so Matti, are you saying that you've now cracked how to install a Series II SSV/CalaisV IQ into a Series I?
