I got one this week.
I know I'll hate the red and white lights.
Need to go all white. I have the window and headlight switch. Still need steering wheel leds and figure out something for the gauge cluster.
Hmmmm

[-Ray-]

It was several years ago, but someone posted a how to on replacing the LED's.

BuildYourSelf can I ask where you got the radio from ?

You can expect to pay about $1200 for everything($500 for trim, $300 for programming + s&H, and ~$400 for the radio). The radio is the wild card and will depend on what you find. There is one on ebay right now and they are asking for $600. I would stay away from this one though. Not only is it expensive compared to others sold, but the antenna connection at the radio itself is broken. They probably yanked the radio out without removing the antenna connector. Also, it looks like they used a screwdriver on the top of the radio when trying to remove it. It's gouged a bit.

I offered the job to Chris while he reprograms the unit.
Just waiting to hear back.
U know he made himself a busy man.
(Speak of the devil he just emailed me as I typed that.)
Says he can do it.



Roman. I got it from someone who had picked up a wrecked ppv from an insurance deal.
They used it for parts and didn't need the radio

Do they have another one lol

[Greg@PacePerformance]

yes the one on ebay is expensive.
I now have a source for brand new PPV radios and faceplates. The price is not cheap at $685.00 plus shipping.
So keep that in mind when bidding on used ones.

Damn you William. I didn't even think of the LED's in my Holden steering wheel switches. I'm guessing they are white. grrr I'll have to figure out how to make them match all the red now lol

Another PPV radio showed up on Ebay - but for the price, might want to go with a new one instead.

I have red and want white.
You have white and want red.
Hmmmm...
What to do what go do?
The backing of the switch should be the same right?
Or do you have the mute and the right roller button is just a roller and not a button?
I might just get the holden steering wheel and even a hsv airbag. I'll be the only kid on my block with one of those. Haha
It kinda sucks because its only a matter of time until the hsv front. I already have a hood on hold for me. And maybe a bumper cover this summer.
All I need is someone down under to find me a very good deal on the fluted fenders. (Or someone to make me a mold of there's) -i might be able to work that deal also- .
