You will need a pac audio sw rc if I remember correctly which will need to be imported from the us and then programmed for your stereo. There is a more expensive option that does the programming for you but never seen it in the UK.

You want a SWI-JACK. I used a PAC SWI RC, but I think there are a couple of models. Google 'HSV SWI PAC' and a whole bunch of threads from this forum will show up.

Unfortunately that is usually the case with these cars. The price of not being mainstream. frown

Was going to do something similar but haven't used stereo for at least a month now, upgraded exhaust equals no more stereo lol!

Search for SWI JACK on ebay...looks like ~£30 from the US or ~£55 from Germany. Hopefully no customs charges on the US ones.
