    Anyone knows where I can get this installed from and for how much...? As I do not want to attempt to do it myself as I hear that you can muck up the airbag system if not done properly on the VS Acclaim. I'm based in Sydney so any guys are able to help let me know or which workshop or auto electrician would be able to install it. I have everything complete from harness, dash and trip computer module.

    Auto Electricians!

    Any reasonable auto electrician should be able to do it. No more than three hours labour and a few bits. Should cost around $200 best guess.

    Out Penrith Way!

    I know that an auto electrician in Peachtree (Penrith) has done at least one.

    The best way to change from a Level 2 to a 3 is by removing the complete instrument harness and change it with a Level 3 Patch loom. This way the normal A/C will function along with all the trip computer etc.

    There are many threads on how to do this on this site. Just type Level 3 Patch Loom into the search and you'll find heaps.

    sadly our resident patch loom maker "88GreenVN" has left the country and now resides in the USA. He made most of the patch looms that were used around Australia for quite some years.
