has anyone been able to activate rear fader in the S2 utes

 

[doubledip]

Yes can be done... my first IQ i played around with was a SSV Ute radio and only had front speakers... so i modded it to have F + R Fader

 

[Big_Simmo]

All I need to find now is a complete conversion from a s1 statesman to a s2 caprice and ill be happy

JHP do a IQ to s1 conversion. you can buy the whole lot from them.

Whats the JHP package cost?

The JHP Package costs roughly around your first borne child, a night with your wife, and a deposit on a Sydney home.
(Around $2000 for an Omega Unit, and up to $5300 for the HSV with Sat Nav and Gauges).
You can get some money back ($250) if you return your series I colour LCD headunit back to them, however you can get MUCH more if you just sell your series I head unit on eBay..

My suggestion is to get an IQ unit from a wrecker, and get the required trim pieces from Holden.
If you get a model from an Omega/Berlina/Calais, which are the same silver colour as Series I models, then you do not have to go all out on buying the gloss/piano black trim pieces, which saves you lots of $$$$

To give you an idea of prices, an SV6 IQ unit, complete with trim and a DZ HVAC module (Which requires modding if fitting to a Single Zone HVAC model) went for around $600 a couple of weeks ago.
So all you would need to do is pay someone to program the unit (With your VIN number, and all the fun stuff I mentioned above), modify your wiring to suit, and viola, IQ system for less than half of what JHP is selling.

To give you further ideas on pricing, JHP out bid me a month or so ago (eBay) on a CalaisV unit, with Sat Nav, which went for $860.

Find the IQ unit and trims from the wreckers. They usually don't have any use of the trims once you buy the unit. I got mine for $680 all up and I think an extra $350 to program the unit, enable some features and program the hvac for SZ.

yes JHP do charge a premium.. but i guess all businesses want to make money... if they are a ripoff then dont buy from them and they will lose business and adjust their prices to suit... Just need to be careful what you are buying on ebay and what is advertised is actually there (even from some wreckers) as many think just because it has a NAV/MAP button that NAV is fitted

if nav isnt fitted then it can be fitted but will need to have the back unit replaced (fascia stays) and also needs a few other pieces.. have recently replaced one for a customer (with brand new unit) and he loves it...

have supplied a few other units for guys as well from just the basic unit to the nav and programmed them and programmed others that they have supplied along with the hvac units.. the IQ system (except for a few minor annoying bugs) are a great setup absolutely night and day over the older SSV series 1 unit that was originally in my car... and coupled with the E3 dash having the nav markings popup is great
