- 2008 VE V6 60th Anniversary
Signed up to ask this because I've had no luck anywhere trying to find this information.
Purchased a 2008 V6 VE Commodore 60th Anniversary, been slowly doing everything up, first the AC compressor, tyres, removing the LNG tank in the boot, bunch of different bits and pieces.
The stock head unit itself (single zone) has a severely busted screen which is unusable at the top and the head unit itself has a busted AUX cord which makes anything other than plain pre-tuned radio channels basically useless. I spoke to a close friend who worked for a company in Darwin that does audio system installations, and he explained because the head unit organises the audio and the climate control, if I don't have exactly the same model stock unit to replace the current one with, it'll kill off control to the AC.
I just got the damn thing done up after months and I really don't want that. I understand there are after market units, but apparently VE's are particularly painful with aftermarket audio units.
Had an idea of just replacing the screen so I can change settings etc and running an AUX cord from the back of the existing head unit to the centre console, but I"m not sure if replacing just the screen will cause a similar problem?
Any help is appreciated.
