series 2 ssv IQ system problems

I will take one and put it up.
But until do I put the camera under the bumper on an angle more or less under the right side of the number plate. I didn't put it in the middle looking straight down because when I tried it like that I couldn't tell if the bar was going to hit a gutter or clear it you can with it on the angle. You also get a bit of a view in front of the car. Looks like an on board view with a V8 super car when you bring it up when your driving.

 

Ok here are the pics of the camera mounting position and the view it has on the IQ screen.

 

Cheers Anthssv looks cool

 

tHE SAT NAV IS CRAP, SENDS YOU THE LONG WAY.....I USE MY TOMTOM ON MY IPHONE, MUCH BETTER.

 

Here Here! Tom tom just needs to sign a deal with all these new Modern cars and people would stop having these issues with shitty Sat Navs

 

Yes I prefer my Tom Tom app on my iPhone but I do like being able to just press a button to see the streets around me.
And the longer I have the iQ the better it seems to work by that I mean I no longer have a blank screen
On start up or loose the radio volume or no radio all together, it just works all the time every time now.
Better late then never.

 

Don't hold your breath with issues being solved with the IQ system,I have a late 2011 VE SSV, it has been back to the dealer 3 times,the last visit I was assured all the bugs had been fixed as a software update was installed. It completely crashed after I picked it up.I returned to the dealer and it looks like a whole new IQ replacement-very disappointing for a brand new car. Holden should have got this system right before they rolled it out.
I was told that Holden engineers are still writing software and trying to figure out how to fix problems with the Holden IQ, I believe this is true because of my own experiences

 

Upon reading this thread again, a lot of the problems with IQ/Series 2 cars sound very similar to my series 1. It's just that the audio interface has changed.

The HVAC controls look the same on a series 2 as the series 1, although they look separated from the head unit.

The IQ probably is buggy as, but I think the problem is deeper in the car. BCM, some form of central computer. Because my car used to do the freezing of all controls thing, it used to be only solved by restarting the car.

I think the underlying computer system is the problem here - the IQ system (and the old audio system in series 1 cars) is just a red herring in ways. Sure, they are buggy, but it doesn't seem as if the change to the IQ system has solved the problems. It's the interface between the IQ and the main computer, or more to the point, the main computer, which is crappola.

Even though the VF sounds mouth watering in its new goodies, I dont think I could go through the crashing computer issues with the HVAC system again. Pity.

 

I've got the same car - picked mine up just over 2 weeks ago (see my other thread regarding the issues I've had so far). Apparently a new IQ update came out this week, so mine's getting updated tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it solves the problems.

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread...

My IQ system reset itself the other day for no good reason. In fact, it looks like the entire cars computer reset.

All stored radio stations are gone (Not a huge deal, but still annoying) but it also turned off all the settings for locking doors automatically etc.

In the process of setting it all back to the way I want / had it, but is this a common problem? Or could this be something a tad more sinister?

 

you didnt swap remotes?

 

mine has on quite a few occasions reset the radio presets all back to default 675am. rather annoying.

 

There is a new iQ software update (Holden TECHLine sent to all dealers) to correct application issues and touch screen. If you need the notice number let me know.

 

When was this update issued? I remember an update a year or so ago but wonder if there has been one since?

Reaper

 

^^^

The dealer supposedly updated mine when the car was in for a minor service in Jan this year... Would love to know if there's another update

 

I will get the techline and post it for you to see. Rather than just a normal software update, this software was issued under a techline to correct a mulitude of errors with the iQ system and has to be completed not before any replacement.

Cheers mate!

 

last one i have seen and just checked on techline was the one from FEB 2012

unless they are hidden else where

 

Yes please! I just bought a new VE and want to make sure the software version is up to date.

 

Sorry, I forgot which thread it was... The scan is upside down. Just right click while in the document and select "Rotate Clockwise" untill its the right way up, or print it.
