    Have the same rattle with the passenger and driver seatbelt mech, VERY annoying, hopefully something can be done when it goes for its service.

    The cover for my sunroof rattles too, hopefully that can be tightened

    I have an annoying rattle coming to be what sounds like the inertia reel for the rear seat centre passenger. I know these things have a ball bearing or something inside them but mine rattles like crazy over rough roads. Anyone else have this?

    I have a rattle, sounds like plastic rattling or similar ... Can't work out where its coming from and it's stopping me from lowering the car as can't run the risk of Holden blaming the stiffer ride.

    I have experienced the mylink to reboot itself once and maybe 2-3 times freeze for a few seconds and then work ok. It is a computer and fortunately it is not windows based like the ford system.

    The following is not a complaint, just a comparison.

    I have just added a VF SV6 Manual to my 2013 MY12.5 VE SV6 Z Manual. I assume that most would know the additions with the latest model, but I have been a little surprised to notice a few deletions.

    The Z had individual map lights in the front. The VF does not.

    The Z had tilt function on the driver's seat. The VF does not.

    Another deletion:

    VE SV6 Z has fog lamps. VF SV6 does not.

    The rear camera in the VE SV6Z has guidelines to assist. The VF just provides the picture.

    The lack of guidelines is disappointing on the vf, I thought that technology was a given for this day and age with all the other kit out the vf has.

    Any chance the guidelines will be added down the track as an update?

    I have the same issue and was told by the service department last week that Holden are still working on a fix for this issue. Has anyone else been told the same thing?

    I've noticed my screen and instrument cluster dims when the auto sidelights come on (eg when going through a tunnel).

    Is this normal? Not sure why it's not set to the same brightness.

    I thought it might be the setting but I cannot adjust the screen etc up when the lights are on

    It's explained in the owners manual, dash lights dim when headlights are activated.
    You can adjust the brightness of the dash lights independently to screen as well under configuration menu -> display -> brightness

    Oops! RTFM eh ;)

    Cheers PIR4TE, will play when I get back in the car.

    I'm normally pretty good at reading the manual, but I find the VF manual a little hard to follow sometimes.

    Mylink is QNX based which 70% of auto audio systems are based. It is the same OS as the latest Blackberry phones use as QNX is owned by RIM (Blackberry) Note QNX is an android and originally was unix based. It has been around for over 20 years and and is a very mature product used in many medical installations, ATM, factory and production systems. I notice from these forums that the latest updates to the Mylink have finally been patched to accommodate the limitations of the IOS so users of iPhones and iPad now have full functionality which usersof Blackberry, windows and most andriod based phones have had since June last year.
