    I purchased a similar unit from this same seller (Vlad) for my VZ Calais last year. I can tell you that it works brilliantly and exactly as described.

    I recommend this product to anyone who has an iPhone, iPod, iPad and wants full functionality in their VE or even VZ (see below).

    Here is another link for this VE kit;
    Holden VE iPod interface - udcaus

    and for the VZ;
    Holden VY/VZ project development chronology - udcaus

    and main menu for Vlad's website of Unique Design Concepts;
    Holden iPod interface - udcaus

    I am in WA and I had Ant (wrx884) install my iPod kit into my VZ Calais. Ant (wrx884) is also the WA contact person for full dash lighting upgrades. If you are in WA and you buy this kit, PM Ant and see if he can help you with the install.

    *** Search "Holden Ipod Interface" on ebay and this brings up both the VE Omega and the VZ interface kits ***

    *** I have emailed the seller, who's name is Vlad regarding if there is an interface kit for higher spec head units found in the VE Berlina, Calais and Stateman/Caprice. I will post up the answer once received ***

    Private Message Ant (wrx884). He installed my VZ iPod interface and should be able to do the VE unit. Obviously it will not be free of charge like the ebay listing states for Melbourne residents, but it's worth paying for installation to get this interface kit and keep the factory look and functionality :)

    Why wait for a group buy to save a few small dollars? If you want it, just buy it I say. Plus, there would be no need for the designer of the product (Vlad) to discount as there is no competition, and this is quite unique and cheap for what you are getting.

    The head units do vary from Omegas to Caprices.

    I have just had a return email back from the designer (Vlad) and he said that the higher spec model compatibility is his next project.

    It also says on his website;
    "Q4: Will the interface work with all Holden VE radio models?

    A4: The first version will only work with the radio models with external LCD screen. Later on I plan to redesign it for the models with colour screen radios (Calais and Statesman)."


    Vlad has been selling the VZ iPod interface for years now. This is just the compatible version for the VE's. My VZ unit works a treat.
