Hey guys, So I've recently picked up a 08 VE Commodore with 130ks on the clock for a fairly good price. I downgraded from my VF2 Wagon so we could get one of the new Acadias which are on run out! I miss the Tech and Dual Zone Climate Control from my VF so have been exploring options to add...

Recently I purchased a ssv stereo for my sv6 and the place I got it from said that the top display would shut off when it swapped over but I could take the car to holden and they could switch it back on for me. Took it to them the other day and they said they couldn’t because of the locked VINs...

I installed an android headunit a while back, which worked fine until a few months ago, when the speakers would randomly drop out. Sometimes all at once, sometimes a few, or even one. Sometimes they chase each other round the car... so super annoying. I have since installed an alpine booster...

Hey all. Ive got a kenwood head unit, bought used, with 3 rca preouts. Ive found out the sub out doesnt work. Can this be fixed? can i DIY? or where can it be repaired in Adelaide? Are head unit repairs worth the cost, or just buy another one? The unit works perfect, apart from this one fault...
