VE SS Stereo Upgrade Help :)

[Tasmaniak]

Where are you parked? Where is the antenna located?

GPA can't receive through metal. So if you have it in the dash but there is a metal support above it... You're screwed. In a carport... You're screwed. In a shed... Yep. Screwed again.

Concrete... Doubly screwed.

You did out the GPS antenna in right?

Hey mate.
I have the antenna plugged in and just sitting ontop of the dash trying to get it to change.
I took it for a drive around no change.

Hey a quick read here, im looking to upgrade my standard ssv (09) stereo as it has no sound, i was looking at the Alpine unit but are you guys saying there is a better option? I dont have the navigation, although the button is there for it.

Any luck yet Craig?

there is a few options the two easiest ones are buying a iq unit with nav or alpine now do a starter option with nav for about 1800 from memory not to sure if you can add nav to your existing unit Tas will now for sure

Yep, got a new GPS antenna and took it for a good drive and got some satellites.
I think the most i had was 6 idk what the norm is?
It was all working sweet but.
Everything is back in except the glovebox as I'm just tidying up some wiring.
Looks so much better but

All done and back together.
Thanks heaps DoubleDip for doing the programming and Zerone for your help whenever you could.

That looks awesome, I need to get myself a Calais cluster and find someone that can program my series 1 head unit to display a better start up picture and my car will be epic.
