VF Commodore/HSV Owner's Problems & Complaints

[super coach]

I have selcted all POI'S and i have been through several and they dont come up, even ones that have been around since the cruze started to be built. I had a hyundai Veloster as a hire car and really liked its Sat Nav showed where all the Cameras were and what direction they would be picking up cars and it would be the closer you got to one

The Cameras around my area all show up maybe you need an update

my car came off the line on the 26/11/13 I would think it's up todate, i cant read anywhere in the manual about the setting for the cameras

Got a call from Holden yesterday that my replacement seat base has arrived in Melbourne. It should arrive at the dealership early next week which is not great timing as I am on leave from tomorrow night until 6/1 so it won't be changed over until that week in the new year hopefully......

Had the new s/w loaded in the Tourer yesterday.
STILL have the POI problem (when car is started from scratch, they appear even though I have "do not display" ticked)
STILL have a problem with the iPod menu - a large number of items (playlists, artists, albums) do not appear on the display/menu even though they are on the iPod (and can see them when playing random). NOTE that this has been tested on iPod, iPhone, different cables, and in a VF Calais.
Abysmal !!!!
I came over to Holden/HSV from FPV (GT's), and overall not impressed with the new electronics/climate ...!

Wonder if these seat bases are any different. If they are straight replacements, they'll probably be ****ed also. Mine has the same problem

Just got off the phone with Holden Customer Care (have a case open) for the issues i've been experiencing with my car. They let me know that my dealership has just had the update "delivered" to them so they can update my car. Hopefully this fixes the climate control issues. Not sure if it will fix my radio reception issues though.

I'll attempt to get a video / audio recording of the radio issues. Its shitting me to no end. At least once the radio is fixed, i can stop listening to the rattles from the seatbelt mechanisms (getting right rear passenger replaced), drivers seat rattle, sunroof rattle.......

Car has just over 9500km on clock now. God help me at 100k

I had my car in yesterday to get the latest update for the MyLink as mentioned above. The dealer was installing it yesterday after it was released to them. When they tried to install it on my car (build Sep 2013) it reported that it was already up to date!! It looks like the dealers have just got the factory version now to update older versions. I have uploaded the current version of my software for others to check! Hope this helps. No idea what the updates has fixed, but I do not have any Fixed Speed camera POI.

My GEN-F GTS (September 2013 build) has not yet been updated.

Here is what my 3 info screens show:-

MyLink updates are distributed on USB sticks due to their size (huge). So yes they probably just did have it "delivered".

Radio reception is a common complaint in newer cars - more electronics + building to a budget means less ability to pick up stations 3 major towns away. I don't know how many people bring cars in expecting crystal clear radio for stations that are based 200km away.........

I have crap radio Reception in my povo pack 2012 Fiesta, I am talking radio stations in Sydney when I am in Sydney. I don't have any problems with my 06 Lancer, 09 SV6 or 2000 Clubby. With the Fiesta I can excuse it because it is one of the cheapest new cars on the market. I would be less impressed if it was a $40 or $50K Commodore.

You wanna hear poor radio quality? Try an FG Ford/FPV my ute has pathetic reception and crackles regardless of the source, take it to the dealer and it just a "Ford" thing apparently. I have had the ICC unit replaced as well as all the speakers, i believe it's an earthing issue.

My E3 on the other hand has fantastic reception and will receive Perth metro stations a good 50km further than the FPV.
