How To Install A Head Unit In A Vt Commodore

Here's my twist. VT Berlina had decided not to eject a CD. Can skip tracks, turn it off, but not change to radio, pause or eject. I think this has happened once before, so I did the same thing - took the fuse out, to then reenter the pin (which I have) to 'wake it up' from it's confusion. Problem When using the preset buttons to enter the code, only 2 of them ( 4 and 3 as it turns out) work. I have 2 other digits to enter, and can't get them registered as I type in the PIN.

How To Install A Head Unit In A Vt Commodore

Result - no go. (apart from a new double din head unit with aux in on the front for mp3 player?) D. Yes, i was suprised one day when i rang a holden dealer in Adelaide and told the lass on the phone that i needed the code for the stereo in the vx ss funny part was, at the time it was still in my brothers name and he owned it and got it serviced regularly at this dealer.

I said i was the brother and battery went flat and my bro was gunna kick my butt. They took rego details and just gave it out over the phone. Glad i wasnt there when my brother got down there when he found out so its not hard, i just used details off the rego papers and rego sticker. Dealers need to be careful. But most workshops with a scan tool of some description can get it just by plugging into the socket under the steering wheel. Here's my twist. VT Berlina had decided not to eject a CD.

Can't even enter 1111, which is supposed to wake it up briefly, to get the CD out of it. Any suggestions?

I bought my car from dealership, replaced the battery (coz they fked it), and now i cant use the radio. Terribly annoying.

Surely there is some universal key like mobile phones have? OR who can i call to do it over the phone, i dont want to pay for it, or muck around finding paperwork and finding a dealership with a service department that is open when im not at work (unlikely even one exists). I would just go buy another one if i have to pay for it or muck around. Mate, I am in the car busness, if you tell the salesman you bought it from that he 'SHOULD' give you the code for a car he has sold you he should get it for you.

I know plenty of people in plenty of dealerships that have access to these details on the manufacturers data base, it is not hard. The salesman should give you any security or information/codes to any vehicle he has sold to you. It is no different to supplying you an ignition key. Give him a call. Good luck, Ed.

Gday guys, Turned 19 yesterday and my dad gave me his old VT. Only problem is it has no ipod integration or a cassete player. I've done plenty of research regrading the matter of replacing the head unit, and i found out the installation costs are around 100 dollars. Id much rather save the money and learn to do it myself. I found this and other guides rather helpful but i do not have a soldering iron. My mates suggested a wiring harness of some sort but i cant find any detailed instructions on how to do this and would appreciate some enlightenment.

Like what it does and how to do it. I also realise i need to purchase a holder for the huge gap below left by the old stereo Thanks. Considering how much a soldering iron costs, go to jaycar or somewhere similar and get yourself one, if you ever plan on doing anymore electronics in your car it will be a welcome hand, and if you need some help check this video out and get the wiring diagrams off this website as well and remember if ever you need anymore help check on here there are always people willing to help! Have fun, i did mine in about 2hours with some help with the wiring diagram and a soldering iron is one of the best money you can spend for electronics!

Oh and don't cut the old loom off if you plan on installing the original stereo when you sell the car.just splice into the wires so that the old loom is there! Ha sorry for double post, first one didnt appear. Yea i did reconnect it straight after and all of them but back rear works. I knew it was of course either the harnesses or headunit because my old one i retried which worked fine. The guy at the shop tested it on his speaker setup in the store and the back right didnt work so he said the HU was faulty and had to be taken to be repaired.

Should i have just refunded and got a enw one or wait the time? Which is a week? Like is it a pain for them to do that?
