Features & Benefits
Complete Vehicle-Specific Upgrade Kit for Holden VE Series 2 2011-2012: The AX9550GK includes all components required for a complete installation in the Holden Commodore VE Series 2 from 2011-2012 without additional accessory sourcing. The vehicle-specific installation kit covers the gunmetal grey fascia, digital climate control retention, SWC interface, USB retention lead, OEM reverse camera lead, and patch lead requirements of the VE Series 2 platform.
Digital Climate Control Retention Included: The vehicle-specific installation kit includes a digital climate control retention module that retains the factory HVAC functionality after the head unit is replaced. The Holden VE Series 2 uses a digital climate control system integrated with the head unit architecture, and this module ensures the factory climate control continues to operate correctly after the new head unit is installed.
OEM Reverse Camera Lead Included: The vehicle-specific installation kit includes an OEM reverse camera lead that connects the factory reverse camera to the new head unit's reverse camera input, allowing the factory camera to continue displaying on the 6.8" screen when reverse gear is selected. This is included within the kit without requiring additional camera adaptors.
USB Retention Lead Included: The vehicle-specific installation kit includes a USB retention lead that connects the factory USB input point in the VE Series 2 interior to the rear USB input of the new head unit, retaining the factory USB port functionality for media playback and device connection after installation.
Gunmetal Grey Fascia Kit for VE Series 2 Dashboard Integration: The included gunmetal grey fascia kit is designed specifically for the Holden Commodore VE Series 2 (2011-2012) dashboard profile, providing a factory-fit finish around the 6.8" head unit. The AX9550GK is the gunmetal grey fascia variant of this kit, with the AX9550BK providing the same specification in a piano black fascia finish.
6.8" Capacitive Touchscreen at 1024x600: The 6.8" capacitive touchscreen delivers a large, responsive display with 1024x600 resolution for clear navigation of maps, media, and settings, well suited to the dashboard opening of the VE Series 2.
Wireless and Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto operate wirelessly for hands-free smartphone integration, or via wired USB connection for simultaneous charging. On first wireless connection, a one-time pairing via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is required before subsequent connections become automatic.
Bluetooth V5 with HFP 1.6 HD Voice: Bluetooth V5 supports A2DP high-quality audio streaming, AVRCP media control, PBAP phonebook access, and HFP 1.6 HD Voice quality hands-free calling. Both an internal microphone and an external microphone with mount are included, allowing the external microphone to be positioned optimally in the cabin.
13-Band Graphic EQ with Time Alignment: The 13-band EQ covers 32Hz, 63Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz, 12kHz, 14kHz, and 16kHz for precise acoustic tuning, complemented by time alignment and a subwoofer low-pass filter for a complete onboard tuning toolkit.
4V 6-Channel RCA Preouts: Six RCA preamp channels at 4V covering front, rear, and subwoofer outputs allow external amplifiers to be added to the system with a high-output, low-noise signal. Subwoofer level control is also provided directly from the head unit.
720P AHD Surface Mount Camera Included: The included 720P AHD surface mount camera uses a Sony 225 1/3" CMOS sensor, a 150-degree lens angle, optional parking guidelines, and an IP67 waterproof rating. It can be mounted as a front, rear, or reverse camera and connects to the head unit via the included 6-metre RCA cable with in-line reverse trigger wire.
Dual AHD 720P Camera Inputs: Two independent AHD 720P-compatible camera inputs allow the retained factory reverse camera and the included surface mount camera to be connected simultaneously, supporting dual camera configurations.
6-Colour Button Illumination: The key illumination is selectable across six colours including red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white, allowing the button lighting to be matched to the VE Series 2 interior.
AM/FM Tuner with RDS: FM tuning covers 87.5-108.0MHz with 18 presets, and AM covers 522-1710kHz with 12 presets, with RDS support for station and track information display.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the AX9550GK and the AX9550BK?
Both the AX9550GK and AX9550BK are complete head unit upgrade kits for the Holden Commodore VE Series 2 (2011-2012), sharing identical head unit specifications, digital climate control retention module, USB retention lead, OEM reverse camera lead, SWC interface, and 720P AHD surface mount camera. The only difference is fascia finish: the AX9550GK includes a gunmetal grey fascia, while the AX9550BK includes a piano black fascia. Choose based on which finish best matches the interior trim of the specific vehicle.
Does the AX9550GK retain the factory Holden VE Series 2 digital climate control?
Yes. The vehicle-specific installation kit includes a digital climate control retention module that retains the factory HVAC functionality after the head unit is replaced. This module is specific to the VE Series 2 digital climate control system and is included within the kit, meaning no additional retention module needs to be sourced separately for a standard installation.
Does the AX9550GK retain the factory reverse camera and USB input?
Yes. The vehicle-specific installation kit includes an OEM reverse camera lead that connects the factory reverse camera to the new head unit's reverse camera input, and a USB retention lead that connects the factory USB input point to the rear USB input of the new head unit. Both factory features are retained without requiring additional adaptors for a standard installation.
Can the included 720P AHD camera be used alongside the retained factory reverse camera?
Yes. The head unit provides two independent AHD 720P-compatible camera inputs. The factory reverse camera connects through the OEM reverse camera lead to one camera input, and the included 720P AHD surface mount camera can be connected to the second camera input for use as a front or additional camera, supporting dual camera configurations.
Can external amplifiers be connected to the AX9550GK?
Yes. The head unit provides 4V 6-channel RCA preouts covering front, rear, and subwoofer channels, allowing external amplifiers to be connected for higher output power or a dedicated subwoofer channel. The 4V output voltage provides a strong, low-noise signal compatible with most aftermarket car audio amplifiers. Subwoofer level control is also available directly from the head unit for convenient bass adjustment without accessing the amplifier directly.
