Gallardo stereo question
Want to replace my stock 2005 Gallardo stereo (with tape player) with a new system and nav. The stock radio channel is displayed on the top line of the center display above the steering column.
1. Does anyone know what will happen if I replace the system with a non-factory system (will the top of the display just be blank or will there be any issues with that)?
2. How ghetto is it to replace with a non-Lambo system in your opinion as long as it looks clean, etc?

You will more than likely lose the DIC functionality i.e. there would be no read out on the dash.
as for looking ghetto not at all so long as you went with a high end unit from Pioneer, eclipse, alpine which BTW used to be the OE for lamborghini or it may still be.
good luck and post some pics when done

I replaced the stock unit on my 06 gallardo. I replaced it with a top end kenwood. It's the same ones that come oem on the muircielagos. It is 10x better than the stock unit. I'll post some pics when I get home tonight.

I was going to suggest upgrading to one of the newer head units from a later model car, but it looks like others already have. You can likely find them online for less money. Personally , I prefer integrating the OEM head unit with aftermarket speakers/amps. Better sound with OEM features like the dash readout you asked about.

Hey. Sorry it took me so long to post pics. I've been busy. Yes, I did replace my factory speakers. Used the stock locations and replaced with Focal speakers. I also added a subwoofer. I think it's a 10". I had a custom enclosure built and had it wrapped in perforated leather to match the existing leather. The head unit is a top of the line Kenwood. I think it's the same one used in the Murci. I did lose the arrow directions on the dash that came on with the OEM Nav. But it still lets me know mpg, avg speed etc. The Kenwood nav is much easier to use. And I have an ipod adapter. The new system sounds 10x better than OEM. If you look carefully, you may also see that I also added a seperate, easy to reach control for the stereo head unit. It's actually a control unit for Kenwood Marine head units. But it looks clean and simple and it works. It's just below the e brake. I also added TPM. Very helpful. Hard to tell when the tires are low by just looking. I replaced a few of the trim pieces with Carbon fiber trim. My instructions to the installer was to make it look as clean and a factory as possible. Check out the pics.
