The VF Holden Commodore and Maloo were introduced back in 2013. These Aussie motoring icons have stood the test of time from a styling standpoint, but some owners may be a bit underwhelmed by the almost ten-year-old technology that is found inside the vehicle.
For those owners, there is the HSV Enhanced Driver Interface – an aftermarket infotainment system developed by HSV that gives the VF Holden Commodore and Maloo a more advanced center-mounted touchscreen. The HSV EDI is capable of displaying live performance information on the screen, including the current revs and selected gear, brake and throttle position, G-forces, power and torque output and more.
The HSV EDI also comes with pre-set programs for the various Holden Commodore or Maloo model variants, like the HSV GTS and GTSR. The VF HSV Commodore and Maloo, for those who need a reminder, are powered by General Motors’ supercharged 6.2L LSA V8 engine, which is good for 577 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque.
It’s worth noting that the HSV EDI is not intended for use on non-HSV Holden Commodore and Ute models. The seller of the interface, Envyous Customs, may be able to accommodate owners of non-HSV models, however, as they encourage owners of these vehicles to reach out to them if they are interested in installing the EDI in their car or ute.
In addition to the screen interface itself, the HSV EDI will also ship with the necessary USB harness for installation and will also come with a USB that has the Motec software the system runs on.
As of this writing, the HSV EDI is out of stock at Envyous Customs, but interested parties can join the waitlist to be informed of when it comes back in stock. Prices start at $1,350 AUD.
GM will soon kill Holden off and exit from the Australian and New Zealand markets entirely, though some Holden service centers are expected to remain open in the country to fix and maintain customer vehicles.

If someone could find a way to put Android Auto on these, I’d be all over it.
Will never understand why GM didn’t move G8 to Chevrolet as a G8 to compete with Dodge given the possible high margins from special editions.
Impala was ancient in 2009/10 & the move would have provided Chevrolet with a complete high quality sedan line up.
Um, have you heard of SS…. That was the G8 from Chevrolet… it sold so well with Chrysler headlights and Chevy interior.
Envious customs have a program to put android auto on my link
The SS is a sedan in stealth. No one seeing the car in the next lane looking pretty with all of its bling would know it is really a hot rod. Holden and Chevy put together one all around sweet ride. The interior is top notch.
I think its failure was the lack of promotion and advertisment. I can tell someone how awesome the SS is to drive and they ask Camaro? No, a SS….it continues until we Google it for them to see what I am referring to. It is sweet car.
I have a 2014, semi manual transmission :>( black, with less than 11k miles. Try to take it on a joy ride on a pretty day at least twice a month.
Hi everyone I have a Vf clubsport which does not have edi working the icon is there and lit up but when I press the icon it opens a new window with my build number and down the bottom in little letters edi not installed .
My question is what is not installed the program or a module does anyone know I would love to get it working because it’s driving me crazy that it doesn’t 🤪😜😂
Did you manage to get it working Anthony? as I have the same issue. Never fully installed from factory.
Hi buddy I ended up selling the clubsport and a bought myself a proper clubsport R8 .
I never realised just how much stuff is missing on the standard Vf clubsport compared to the R8 the Edi was missing the module the non R8 is basically A SS with the bumpers and lights and brakes the rest is missing once I realised I could not bare to look at it and I got rid of it as fast as I could ….
