Im new to this scene and i want to change the head unit so i can get better sound quality and fit a sub the problem is that i went down to my local vauxhall dealer and got told if i do that i will loose my steering wheel controls and the head up display on the dash. Ive also got climate control and a trip computer that display of that screen. I have'nt had time to go to a ice installer yet. Is this true and there must be a way round this some how? :\ :dontknow:

If I remember rightly, you can just buy an aftermarket adaptor, so you can use the steering wheels controls on the new HU, but depending on the make etc.

Not sure about the MFD though.

is a few astra vxrs with aftermarket hu's in and i think they didnt have any problems with the trip comp climate control etc

You can just get an adapter lead autoleads do them:

Part No(Canbus Adapter) – PC99-X80

Part No((Steering cable) - Alpine PC99-ALP
Blaupunkt PC99-BLA
Clarion PC99-CLA
JVC PC99-JVC
Kenwood PC99-KEN
Kenwood Display PC99-KEN-DIS (disregard not on H)
Panasonic PC99-PAN
Pioneer PC99-PIO
Sony PC99-SON
Compatability: All models with steering wheel control functionality

You need the top one and then the steering controls one is optional.
For a fascia adapter use the astra H one!
