HOLDEN VF COMMODORE (2013-2017) Head Unit Install Guide PLEASE NOTE: the fascia and harness kit is sent separately for this model. Ensure you've received both packages prior to installing You should always disconnect the vehicle battery before installing a head unit. If you do not feel confident completing this installation - please obtain professional assistance. Check out our policies pages for more info STEP 1: Connect Accessory Cables To Unit Depending on whether you purchased a 2/32GB, 4/64GB or 6/128GB model - the back of your unit will look slightly different. CONNECT BRACKETS TO FASCIA / UNIT Included in the second shipment should be the fascia and harness. You will notice 2x brackets (shown in image 1A below) - you can attach these as shown, to secure the unit to the frame using the supplied screws ( X icons on images show where these go) #1A How it should look with screws (coloured `x') attached. Repeat for each side CONNECT ACCESSORY CABLES & FASCIA Now connect accessory cables as per the diagram on previous pages If you have the 4+64GB or 6+128GB model, you may have a few extra antennas / cables. Just follow the above diagrams to get them connected. It should now look similar to this: Step 2: Connecting the harness 11. Connect Harness to the back of unit via black power plug 2.

Connect white 8-pin plug off our harness, into back of unit via matching socket 4. Plug in canbus box to harness 5. Connect antenna adapter This goes to factory plug Plug into back of head unit via RADIO hole If you received this item in the kit - you can connect it to the harness via the tiny black BUZZER plug If not received, disregard. Do not worry about connecting this black plug on our harness to anything - you can leave it spare Step 3: Removing the Factory Unit Disconnect the car battery prior to installing / removing a head unit. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing how to remove the factory radio. Just search "How to remove XXX Radio" and you can find plenty of step by step guides Step 4: Connecting the Harness Once you've removed the factory radio, and unplugged it it's time to connect the main harness (already connected to our head unit in last steps) to the vehicle. Connect the matching plugs from our harness, to your factory plugs. This is just a matter of matching the plugs to the correct factory plugs. Most only have one place to go , so it is very straightforward GPS RECEIVER (if being used) should be mounted in the open somewhere (Dash, Windscreen, Top Visor etc) If using the supplied microphone, route the wire through the steering column to behind the radio, then connect the black mic jack to the black mic plug on the RCA bundle in the kit. The mic itself should be mounted to the steering column, or top visor / corner of windscreen up high. Make sure everything is connected securely and correctly, then go ahead and mount the new head unit (with fascia attached) into the dash where the old radio used to be. Once all connected, and installed correctly - it's now time to reconnect the battery and test the new unit. There are a few setup steps first to follow below, to get it all going. Step 5: Setting up the unit Once the unit is all working, the first thing to do is setup the CANBUS box. This controls your steering controls, climate controls (if applicable) etc... 1. Go to carsettings -> factory settings -> enter code 16176699 2. Scroll to CAN TYPE SET, and click CAN TYPE SET 3. Choose RAISE from the first column, then select CHEVROLET -> TRAX or CRUZE -> Year model closest to yours (yes, this is correct for a commodore) 4. Ensure you choose something from each column right up to the end. Once you choose something from the last (VERSION) column, screen should change or reboot If this does not work - check for a tiny white 8 pin plug coming off our harness. Ensure this is plugged into the back of the unit correctly via the matching white socket To set the radio region; go to carsettings -> Factory settings -> enter code 16176699 -> scroll to radio settings -> change default radio region to australia, then click "save" in the top right corner. While you are in this menu, check the AM and FM gain settings. If they are on 0, change them to 5 or 6, then click "save" in the top right corner. Your radio should now work as normal. Any issues, ensure the antenna adapter is connected firmly, and to both the back of the unit and the factory plug. Contact us if any issues. FACTORY CAMERA NOT WORKING?
