    Pretty sure there's still more to it than that... to start with you will surely need the whole head unit not just the face plate and I'm sure there will be different wiring needed for the air con etc

    Given that my father has a VE Berlina, I've often wondered this myself. My guess though is that the Calais does have a different head unit to the Berlina. For example, the Calais head unit has an AV input for the satnav/rear DVD player, while the the Berlina's AUX input only supports audio. Also, in the place of the on/off button, the Calais headunit has a NAV button.

    I asked this same question when I got my Berlina last year. Answer was that the head unit in the Berlina doesn't have the video capability required for the Calais screen to work, so no, it won't work. Pretty sure the Berlina unit is the Level 2 head unit and the Calais and SS-V have the Level 3 head unit. That would be a good indicator as to the capability I'd think.

    The search button is your friend. Heaps of info on this subject.

    No is the short answer.

    Yes if you want to change the entire headunit and have the HVAC reprogramed.
