2014 VF Calais V 6.0ltr V8
Theres a few custom things that can be done on the mylink. Heres a quick list:
- Camera,schools ect POI for Navigation on 2014/2015 Vehicles (Which the update doesnt add)
- Custom startup logo and background theme (Red or blue Holden, HSV, Chev and a bunch of others)
- Enable HSV EDI button (Ready for an EDI to be fitted and used)
- Upgrade to a nav Mylink (If you have non-nav)

Eventually I will find more things as I do more research and development. May be able to do custom wallpapers, true custom animations.. maybe even a custom app.. who knows!

For the instrument clusters, some of the things include:
- VF Performance page enable (Show battery, coolant, oil temp, oil pressure, 0-100km/hr timer ect).
- Black and white to colour screen cluster upgrades
- Custom boot animation and background/wallpaper. When I say custom, I mean it literally, can set it to as ironman if you wanted!

Other kits include:
- Factory Tyre pressure monitoring kit
- Factory Paddle shift kit for 2014 to 2017.

Keep in mind, Holden will say that paddles cannot be added to 2014 and early 2015 VF's :)

Anyways.. enough of my rants! Back to the (hopeless) navigation sagas. ;)
So how can someone like myself who lives in Adelaide get the Nav stuff etc?

For the nav POI, this change cannot be done remotely so its a post in option currently.

Ideally Id like to do those changes remotely but a much more complex remote programmer will be required. Likely something with a screen and more user input.

So when you say "post in", what exactly would I be posting in? I take it, the actual screen which has the actual processor etc built in?

Nope, the silver box behind it :)
The screen (Fragile part) does not need to be sent.

Iv had heaps of people do the navigation mylink upgrade to fit in a nav unit.
Its pretty easy when following picture guide as it explains it all :)

Next, car is drivable, the mylink is just a media source, it doesnt control the security of the car.

Ok cool, I'm waiting on my VF Workshop Manual CD to arrive so i'll have a look & see how much work is involved & then see what stuff you can do to improve it. Very interesting stuff & definitely interested, could you PM me with a more detailed analysis of what exactly you can upgrade & costs etc, greatly appreciated.

2016 VFII Calais (not Calais V) with satnav option

;)

TazzI, what type of Nav do you install into the non-nav MyLink? Is it a software or a hardware change?
Is it the same as the Holden VFII satnav? Hopefully it's a better one.
