It's an Aussie car, in Dubai. Holden supply them in LHD to the US as a G8 and the Middle East as Chev's.

Hey the dash looks awesome! But I was wondering how do u control the air conditioning and heat? I have a g8 gt and wanted to install an ipad but i was worried about having to remove the factory screen that displays the ac and heat controls. Any suggestions?

[WilliamKurt]

@yoshster69 if you do a search for HVAC controls for the G8 you will find a small screen with the controls on it for around $400. However, mine are accessible from behind the bottom of the ipad and I didn't really need to get that screen. The whole original unit is sitting behind my IPAD, so I didn't relocate it or disconnect anything.

also do you know why some gauges are jumpy rather than fluid, ive seen some videos and they are perfect and fluid and others that the gauges are jumpy. how far is ur wifi device away from the ipad

[WilliamKurt]

@italiandude321

The Wifi isn't the reason the gauge is jumpy, it's the software. I reformatted the IPAD and the needle isn't jumpy anymore. Actually if you look at the digital readouts in the video they are smooth and running in realtime, it's the analog dial that seems to be lagging. It's the 6.0 with upgraded heads, cam, valve springs, exhaust, underpulleys, intake manifold and OTR.

@bobmasriss

I got the PLX device through Shop & Ship off the web. If you do a search you will find it. It cost's around $150 from memory. It will work on your car. If you go through the local forums you will find me. PM me and I can help you with it.
