VE SSV Headunit into VE SS

[Cocopopz]

Is it possible to put a VE SSV head unit into a SS, The head unit in there not does not have the screen, treble or bass controls.

It is possible, but you will need to get the SSV head unit reprogrammed to suit the H-Vac etc in your SS so not straight forward

See here for info

There are very basic treble and bass controls on the SS headunit. They can be found under the audio menu (press the button in the middle of the volume knob). The SSV unit also has the same minimal setting adjustments. The screen is the main difference between the two units.

cool thanks... another thing will holden reprogram the new headunit? if so how much do they charge? is it like something ridiculous ?

anyone had a ssv headunit installed?

Just spoke to Holden n they reckon this isn't possible reason being something about the Ss not having a climate control. And also if there was a way to go around the climate control issue u still can't fit a second hand dash in something about a number that cannot be used in two vehicles it gets burned on the memory of the original vehicle

And a new one apparently would cost about 2000 for the lot.

I think i paid about $600-$700 supplied and fitted for a VE SSV unit, gotta make a mistake sometime

Holden boy r u saying it worked or it didn't work ?

[holdenboy]

Sorry, it was off topic......i was saying i had to replace a VE SSV unit with a brand new one from Holden. I havent swapped these units into a VE SS unfortunately.

Ok, this mod does work. I've got a 2006 Omega and I've installed a headunit from a 2008 Maloo, which is the Calais headunit that is also in the SSv.
