HSV R8 GenF Maloo
Discussion
Hiya all,I'm after a little help,I've just imported my HSV R8 GenF Maloo from Australia and I was trying to find out if anyone knows how I can replace the Australian maps stored on the hard drive of the car with UK maps so I can use the mapping system here in UK
I've been told it has to be loaded using a memory stick that gets loaded in the glove box
Any help would be great

I would talk to Walkinshaw. We have the full European setup pre-installed on official imports.
Yet, we can't update it to the latest version that reads postcodes...BartW said:

No it doesn't work. There is no postcode field, you have to step through city/area/road/number.
Have you tried typing "RG" in the town field, to see if it then lets you put numbers in?R8VXF said:
Played about with it with kevros at Kentucky Sunday for a bit, he has a Postcode input and reversing lines being an MY15 model, MY14 and prior do not have this functionality VX and Walky are being spectacularly useless in helping out, should just be a mylink update. Might start complaining about Bluetooth connection issues, seems to sort out the ozzies....
Ok so going to the Head of HSV Engineering for you is "being Spectacular useless".I agree it wasnt the answer you wanted but we including Walkinshaws did try for you.

When the ozzies are getting told the same thing and then getting the update, something is amiss somewhere in the chain. There is a mylink update which is a holden update to fix it. Maybe I shoulda said Walky and Holden not VX, but you get my drift. Walkinshaw's support for this vehicle in the UK is absolutely ridiculous. A week after I got my car in Dec 2014 I was told that they were manufacturing a full exhaust including headers based on the Aus version. Nothing. They do not even advertise on their site any products for the Gen-f.
I was told ( As I relayed to you ) that the problem was its a Specific UK download so therefore any updates that you see others getting in Australia its not as easy as that to give you the same update.Im not and Engineer but I did as the relevant people for you.
Problem you have with the Walkinshaw products they can bring items from Australia no problem but as I think most know that the Australian " Stainless Steel " is far from Stainless.
And I would think from a business point of view reproducing such items for UK specific on a 1 off basis would be quite expensive so I would say if you wanted one contact Ken at Walkinshaws but be prepared for a rather large price tag as it would be made as a one off.
Welcome to the joys of a low volume products (but that's also the reason we love them too)
As a bit of an aside I am looking into purchasing a GM MDI and a laptop for fault code reading repair and fault code clearing on the GenF GTSs. I am having issues with access to the GM Infotech TIS2Web I keep getting conflicting information about do I need a dealer code to access and purchase the relevant service and parts information, programming software and diagnostic software. I wonder if Dougie can confirm if I need a dealer code to access and purchase the above or not.
The GM MDI id the only diagnostic tool that is available for the latest GenF cars. This has been confirmed by Vauxhall Walikinshaw and Holden HSV and before anyone says anything about other diagnostic tool dealers none of them cover Holden HSV i have spent 3 months and lots of research asking them all.
On the TIS2Web there should be information and a download for the earlier GenF cars as regards updating the satnav as and when new downloads and vehicle updates come available online.
