2007 VE SV6
Same here. Just ordered from that eBay listing above. Hopefully doesn't take too long to get here as it's being sent via USPS First Class International Mail.

Finally received my workshop manual from the eBay listing which I bought from. Although the installation can be a little tedious if you've never dealt with Virtual Machines on a computer, it is fantastic once it finally gets going. I imagine the need for the virtual machine is to simplify the otherwise difficult methods required to bypass some GM disc security mechanism. The DVD which was sent to me is a dual layer DVD disc with a whopping 7.6GB worth of detailed instructions and images not only for VE sedans but for a whole stack of other Holden and Chevrolet models as well as around 6 other car manufacturers.

So all in all I'm pretty happy and while it took 20 days from purchase to delivery, that's pretty decent considering postage only cost me USD $3.60 and it had to come from the states.

If anyone has any questions, just give us a yell.

after hours of searching I managed to find a website that's selling them: Holden Commodore Repair Manual 2006-2013 - PaperTowns Repair Manuals

my time is definately worth more than $10 an hour

I think you're right. I've seen the G8 mentioned within the documents.

It looks the same to me... both me and a buddy have been using it for our cars without a problem.

2008 MY09 VE SS-V Wagon Voodoo Blue
Results? Did your receive it? Any issues

I bought it... absolute rubbish.. Missing a lot of information and its based on the Pontiac G8.
I bought it expecting the VE series II to be covered... no go. seems to only cover the 2009 G8.

All i need is the wiring diagram for the reverse camera and how it interfaces with the IQ unit..

sigh.....
