    VF Dealer MAP Update

    VF Dealer MAP Update

    Hi folks, Just a reminder, I have no idea what MAP level I was on .. so to start with i could have been really really old.. and only updated to what you already have........ just a thought.

    Mylink at the drive inn theatre?

    Yeah - do the 10 second \ ACC[essory] start up process - then using voice command "Display off" or in the Radio\Config\Display - Off. to kill the radio display if its too bright etc - but again, not sure that will keep the radio running for more than 10 mins..

    After a quick chat to Holden Customer care the other week they advised to go back to the dealer service center and customer care redirected the dealer service team to the relevant update for my vehicle (but they couldn't give me specific details \ or didn't want to at the time). Finally got the...

    @Henry19720 - just like ChrisJ911, just seeking more info from your 1st hand experience and the update. Wondering if you needed to use the scantool \ perform some function after doing the usb key update, or the usbkey update alone did everything (once you were able to determine the relevant...

    How do I lock my VF2 at the beach?

    Ahh the good old days where you could slip a kid a $5 note to look after your $h17 while you surfed and you come back to find your tyres all washed and polished for you because they had such respect for your ride. Guess probabily more like $50 now and still end up with a key'd ride lol. PS...

    Vf ssv ute rear aux?

    The "rear" of the radio has a an Auxiliary port to plug in additional sound source, if you want to plug something in - pull console panels off kind of rear access. Its for when your push button start \ passive key doesnt work, put your key in the hole etc Did you get your car privately...

    I also tend to agree with that but waiting confirmation, I emailed holden customer care at 10pm last night, they both rang me at 8am this morning - basically asking for photos of all the versions, so I sent that along with VIN, RADIO PART # and my RADIO LOG file - see what they say. My full...

    100% agree - my personal phone I use after hours, but rarely in the car is an Android Samsung and works fine. My Iphone 5 is for during B\Hrs with loads of use in the car \ travelling and cannot swap \ change to another brand due to company polices unfortunately.

    Be awesome if you could have a switch to override the 'reverse' only camera function and then watch the rear cam when your 'wagging' from side to side at other times...lol

    e85

    I have recently had a bunch of "Fuel Pressure Regulator - Low Pressure" codes come up recently, and the only difference is I was running E85-Flex from a Caltex. Took it to holden .. they cleared codes and also checked for (apparently unrelated) fuel sender pipe recall. Told me "Even though your...

    Annoying **** with VF

    You & seems most others missed the point entirely. It could possibly be the way I worded my (example) post. If my wife read these forums, she would realise I was posting a fictitious example (hello..its the internet and forums) and it was not about HER specifically (she would not need such...

    Car Care

    Fair enuff ... tbh, I have done both vacuum first and vacuum last in the past and neither has 'added dust' to my outside paint etc. Guess just depends where\how you do it and if your vacuum is blowing back dirt or has a good filter \ long arse hose (like my shed one) - but I can see how...

    Annoying **** with VF

    Ok the 'my wife' thing as a generic example to highlight the point (and thanks for making it for me) that not everyone has this experience with 'modern' vehicles and simple, more effective warning that actually gives you a reading is simply that .. more accurate..... no matter what other people...

    Car Care

    Dont be .. we all here to share the love and at some point or another have asked similar questions about one car thing or another. I quoted the Opticoat website prices, but you can get cheaper around as others have said.. but then again - that may not include much 'paint correction'. In my...

    Annoying **** with VF

    Yeah thats the intention, I would argue thou .. lets say someone like my wife.. that drives it once in 3 months... gets the permanent low fuel warning. Low fuel on her mazda daily driver - she can drive to the city and back.. low fuel permanent warning in the VF, wouldn't even get her to...

    Car Care

    Professional mate, Starting at $800 odd for a small car and basic application, to $1000+ for large car application. Price goes up if your car paint needs 'lots' of correcting before application. Add in Wheel and Leather protection, another few hundred. But some good dealers around are giving...

    Car Care

    Then have to agree with WayneBatt - should seriously consider a sealant like Opti-Coat and various others, does wonders to reduce the retention of dirt particles to the body and makes cleaning the body (and leather if you get it treated) a breeze, stuff just rinses off. I used Opti-coat on my...

    Annoying **** with VF

    Yep - confirmed on my VF Calias V that all the door locking\unlocking\passive settings including "Remote Left in Veh. Reminder" - Under Vehicle Settings - Remote Lock\Unlock\Start does not de-activate the keys in the pocket outside the car & engine on triple beep .. guess its just another...

    I did this process also, but dont get an "orange" light at any time... the car complains about "Press Brake" - but proceeds past it (wasnt 10 seconds) - I ignore it, then the dash \ display lights up and Start\Stop goes green. - Press accelerator WOT 3 times, then Press Start\Stop to turn it...

    Big thanks to Sab and AussieAkito

    Hi all, Justs a quick post from a (mostly) lurker and rare visitor. Had a problem with my VF Calais and attaching (properly) some new QLD Personalised Prestige plates on the rear tailgate. In Chatbox, Sabbath helped out and put me onto AussieAkito - then Aussie came through for me with...

    Baby seats in VF Wagon

    A little off topic... but /top tether/ really annoys me .. is the fact that even after 10+ years Europe and places have had ISOFIX seats & without 'top tethers'.. we finally get it passed in Australia - and hang on ... we STILL need the top tether. I am no engineering expert, or vehicle safety...

    VF Calais V - anyone missing stereo settings?

    Ok - similar menu to that above but instead of DSP: Normal .. I have instead "EQ : Manual" - and from there the >> arrow takes me to presets of Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Talk. - Eg. If I set it on Rock - it then says "EQ: ROCK" in the main "Tune" Menu - Pics of the two menus, software...

    VF Calais V - anyone missing stereo settings?

    My 2014 CaliasV has a load of EQ settings - Pre-configured EQ settings you choose as an "overall" - e.g. Rock, Pop, Classical, but (if I am not mistaken) I can also tweak the sub-settings like bass-treble etc, if I disable the "automatic ones" e.g. Pop - and set that to EQ control to "Manual" -...

    Thanks Obx... yeah I think as we move forward and the dealerships have had time to get their @#$& together OR once someone (like one of us) has been through the dealership - we should start to see smooth MyLink updates for all.

    [General] [VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE] Everything to know about OBD2 (ELM327) Diagnostic Cables

    I like the look of the [your] cable and assume its quality built inside the box, the software demo video looks ok as well. It lists as being compatible right up the VE 's etc, including the V8 and obviously supports ODB2 etc -however- The only factor really holding me back is are they 100%...

    VF CalaisV - Push to Start green but engine not running and locking gives horn beeps.

    Thanks all... will be sure to do the key port thing first and foremost if it occurs again and try and take note of anything else, as intially wasn't expecting this to occur and consequently wasn't really paying attention to the sequence etc.

    VF CalaisV - Push to Start green but engine not running and locking gives horn beeps.

    I did try that - nothing seemed to occur or change, eg. the Start button didnt stop the car, nor start the engine etc. Does this mean you have seen \ heard of this 'confusion' before?

    Hi crew, Got a wierd problem that has now happened twice and just trying to figure out if its something I am doing or a wierd bug in the car. 1) I lock the car and walk away \ duck into the shops or something 2) after a period of time (varies between minutes to hours) - I come back to the...
