You could do that. But the point of this mod is add iPod function but to keep the stock head unit because it is designed to fit in with the dash panel and to integrate the iPod controls with the stock steering wheel controls. You are referring to a whole different level (and much more expensive) approach, with integrated DVD and a touch screen.
@rburr427 hey want to ask you a question...so i accidentally got armoral spray on the screen and it is behind the sceen, just wanted to ask if that can be cleaned up?
is it hard to use ur hand brake it looks weird being on the pasengers side lol they go through all the work moving the stering wheel and all that and they dont bother with the hand brake lol
Is the hand brake hard to use? No. But you are right it is one of the quirky things with this GTO. Which just makes me like it even more! ;-) The rear seats don't fold down either because the gas tank was stood up behind it.
I have little soldering experience, but I *do* know how to solder. If you don't know the basic technique you should NOT attempt this. It is easy mess up your radio - these components are SMALL. The good news is there is no desoldering involved and everything is surface-soldered to existing components. You absolutely do need a magnifying glass - a lighted one even better and a low wattage FINE TIP soldering gun.
If you are not confident, you must find a qualified electronics tech to do it for you. If you are in Australia I would send it to Unique Design Concepts and have them do it.
Eagles. Niiiice.

Was it difficult to install? Or could any monkey with some soldering experience do it?

This will also work for VY/VZ Commodores and the Chevrolet Lumina and Lumina Coupe sold in the Middle East.
