Hey guys,
So I've recently picked up a 08 VE Commodore with 130ks on the clock for a fairly good price.
I downgraded from my VF2 Wagon so we could get one of the new Acadias which are on run out!
I miss the Tech and Dual Zone Climate Control from my VF so have been exploring options to add into the VE.
Now, I first came across this 'how to' to get a series 2 headunit with Dual zone in the series 1:
https://www.autoinstruct.com.au/manufacturer/holden/ve-commodore/holden-iq-headunit-conversion/
I've got a replacement unit all lined up for about $500 NZ from a local wrecker but am worried about the VIN activation.
But then I came across these Kayhan Audio units (which look awesome!!):
https://kayhanaudio.com.au/product/holden-commodore-ve-series-2/
I know there are series 1 Kayhan units available but I'm really keen on adding in the Dual Zone as well.
From what I can see, I'll need the following from a series 2 (see pic attached):
1) has anyone done this mod before?
2) Am I missing anything from my parts list above
3) Will the Dual zone work on the new Kayhan headunit with the modded HVAC controller.
Any feedback/advice before I go shopping lol??

- Passenger and Drivers Dash Spears (Silver trim which runs length of the dash)
- Air Conditioner Duct
- Centre Console Trim
- New Harness & HVAC Controller (https://www.envyouscustoms.com/product/holden-ve-modded-dual-zone-hvac/)
- Surrounding Headunit Trim (Headunit housing cage)
