Holden VY SS 2003 - 6 Speed Manual
i know level 2 dosent have a trip computer......... but it requires no modification got rpm & smaller numbers which is a hell of a lot better than the disabled looking level 1, hell of a lot cheaper and a hell of a lot less effort than a level 3 :thumbsup:

Yes, i did exactly the same, no ****ing around and way better.

Series 1 contains speedo, fuel and temp,

Series 2 contains speedo, fuel, temp and tacho,

Series 3 contains all of the options plus 3 screens showing distance to empty, km/l and trip meter etc.

VY SS
Hey Guys ... old thread dug up now ... sorry

Ive just done this conversion on my 1997 VS s2 Exec Wagon and everything works fine like it should ...
BUT ... i have the handbrake warning chime constantly going off every minute or two ... how do i stop this, can i bridge a wire out and not use or, or any one know how to wire it up, or anything ....
Thanks in advance guys

Not much of a help, but I hear its a pretty common problem the handbrake switch is shorting out somewhere. You can either fix it, or just pull the chime out of the cluster. Id recommend the first option however, just search for "handbrake chime warning" or similair and have a read.

only thing you may need to change is the wiring loom.
to a lv3 patch one.
