aftermarket car stereo dash kit finally here

[nielsonp]

my local car stereo shop gave me the heads up about a conversion kit that allows the installation of a touch screen stereo that can control heating and air conditioning also.

Im not entirely crazy on the look of the buttons that control the heating / air but my desperation for iPhone integration and USB connectivity mean this isn't such a big deal.

might help if i posted the link hey,

Holden VE Commodore with an aftermarket dash kit and an Alpine GPS Naviagtion unit : Maroochy Car Sound

agree with you on the buttons, they could do some wor to make it look a bit more presentable

iphone integration is a great thing, but is it really worth that much money if you have an aux cable anyways

another positive is that you now have a better head unit for audio

if it was me however i would be puting my money elsewhere, and believe me i have considered sooooooooooo many different mods to make to m car it's ridiculous

but each to their own, if yo choose to do it then you would definately have a major point of difference in your interior compared to everyone else with the benefits of iphone integration and better audio also

good luck with it!

Tonkins car audio in SA has had that for about 6 months or so.

Yuck, those buttons looks terrible. If I wanted a decent stereo, I would leave the factory unit in place and run a real H/U out of the glovebox or something.

It looks ''Home brand'' cheap and nasty(don't know but the cheap part)like most of the VE interior as well.I dont like one bit and i would stay with stock unit and upgaded speakers and amps which i have done.

JHP vehicle enhancements do an ipod integration kit for the ve that uses steering wheel controls.

i'm almost 100% sure the developer/designer of this headunit replacement was on this forum asking for opinions on this product, and whether we would be interested if he started producing it. Same thing was suggested.... lots of interest in this type of product, but the looks of this unit really put people off. It "looks" home made from components from Dick Smith with all those buttons. Needs a massive facelift, but no question that there is a market for this type of customising in the VE. Holden really dropped the ball in my opinion with how 'non-customisable' the existing unit is. Car security tied into audio, which is also tied in to air con and ventilation options... with no way to separate the functions unless you replace the lot like this.
