Thanks Skylarking. I really like the way the car performs when it's in sport and 'performance shift' activates (it usually clicks in when cornering). It's really responsive and gears down nicely etc ... I'd love to be able to program it so it switches into that mode immediately whenever I put it...

I'm looking into buying/installing a performance chip for my SV6 wagon (2017). I've heard about cop chips, and Brock chips, but does anybody have any advice on this topic? Based in SA.

This is very helpful @Skylarking Cheers mate. The instructions that came with the racks didn't include the pages about lifting the ditch mould to check for excessive sealant. Having said that, the racks went in without a fight, so I guess my car wasn't among those that copped too much. Maybe...

Nice one. Thanks mate. Does that mean the little holes in the roof for the roof bar clamps are just set into that gutter as well (and don't go into the roof cavity)? I'd probably have to take off the trim to check but, ****, I'm probably just being paranoid. Good luck finding some new trims...

I just hope they don't let water in. Once you've taken off the mounting point covers to install the roof racks, it seems kinda risky that the mounting point is left slightly exposed even once the roof racks are in. They don't sit completely flush/water tight over it. Rain will get in. I'd like...

Fits perfect.

Thanks vywgn. Much appreciated!

I just received some Holden roof racks I ordered for my VF sv6 wagon. On the fitting instructions, however, they are called roof racks for a 'VE, VM, Utility and Wagon roof bars'. I know the body shape of both VE and VFs are near identical and I'm assuming they are the right ones, but just...

Thanks @Skylarking Yeah, they love an excuse to put you off the scent. I'll ask a few more questions but first check what version the map is.

Thanks @JamesNZ I'm super reluctant to change the face and remove any of the Holden hardware, so that's definitely worth checking out.

Thanks Forg. Was the latest mylink map/software upgrade to your knowledge in 2018 as well?

My dealer told me the other day the last sat nav map upgrade was in 2018. I asked about getting it for my 2017 SV6 but he said aftermarket upgrades would soon be available now that Holden's gone. I wouldn't mind just getting the upgrade, even through it'll still be out of date. Other than...

Is there an ADR compliant bull bar or nudge bar available for a 2017 VF SV6? ECB only built them for models built before 08/2015.

Does anyone know a way to keep the 2017 infotainment system on (when the car is not running) for longer than 10 minutes while you're parked? Before keyless, you could just switch the ignition to 'on' to have access to all the interior functions while the car isn't running. I'm hoping there's a...
