Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
This is How-to for changing the LEDs in the stereo and centre console switches
Tools required
Stubby Philips s/driver
Small flat blade s/driver
7mm socket
T8 driver
Fine tip soldering iron
Qty 30 805 smd leds for stereo
Start by removing the following parts. 1. Rubber mat 2. Plastic cover 3. Gear gaiter
I removed the gear gaiter completely by pushing in the 2 black tabs and lifting the blue collar. You can remove the 2 screws holding the centre console surround, then remove the surround completely.
There a 4 7mm bolts to be removed
2 are located behind two flaps by the centre air vent
Disconnect the elec connectors circled in yellow, remove T8 screws circled in red and remove the stereo buttons from the housing
Remove the 2 T8 screws marked blue in above pic and unclip front panel from 2 small tabs
Remove knobs and rubber cover to expose the circuit board
Tabs for removing TC/Eco/Park assist Switches 1 at each end of the switch
Carefully remove the label and remove switch back unclipping 4 tabs
Replace the lower 805 smd led
Remove 2 7mm bolts holding stereo and display surround
The LED to be changed is in blue. To make it easier I removed the lefthand switch(3 connections underneath)
Roof console
Tools required
T20 driver
Small screwdriver
Qty 1 PLCC-2 sideled
Sorry no pics
Remove the bezel around the interior light
Remove the 2 exposed screws and remove the roof console
Release the electrical connector
Remove the interior light from the roof console
Once light is removed remove the clear tubing
Then bend these copper tabs (carefully)
There are 2 small tabs holding the PCB in
PCB LED for the switches circled red. I also added ambient lighting(early models may already have this my 13 plate didn't) You need to add a 2nd PLCC-2 sideled in the yellow circle and qty 3 619R smd resistors circled in blue
This is where the 2mm hole needs adding
hole added(yellow square)
Replaced my phone recently and now I can connect via Bluetooth but I'm unable to control the phone via Bluetooth nor am I able to access the address book.
The mrs phone works perfectly fine (this one did as well when it was her's. I get the car she gets the new phone)
Anyway phone in question is a Xperia Z her's is a Xperia Z1. The phone connects fine but when you try and dial a number the car shows dialling failed. Accessing the phone book it just says it is not available.
I've tried a factory reset on the phone and also on the car but it so far nothing has worked. I'm going to assume its a setting on the phone it's running Android 4.3
Couple of things I'm thinking of wrapping gloss black, got 5m by 1m wide coming:
Chrome window trim
Vauxhall badges (might plastidip)
Chrome gear surround
Heater vents (maybe a bad idea due to heat)
Steering wheel logo (again, may plastidip)
Making some 'eyebrows' for front lights
Thoughts....
Also at the 'run what you brung' meet I'm happy to wrap things for people (for cost of wrapping), all I'll need is a plug socket for a hair dryer
