Hey Mate,
Yeah, the VE1 stereo is pretty average.
A popular upgrade that I do on them is the JVC KWV320BT 6.8" DVD System, with a full replacement facia kit & steering wheel interface.

This will give you Bluetooth Hands-Free, Bluetooth Audio Streaming, DVD, CD & USB Playback, with full control via your steering wheel audio buttons.
These units are now using the same type of LCD screen as iPhone & Android Devices, which give them a great touch response & improved anti-glare properties.
I can do these for $990 Supplied & Fitted. Installation takes roughly 2 hours.
As for Alarms & GPS Tracking, there are a ton of different options available on the market right now.
I still prefer the Autowatch Alarm systems as they have proven to be super reliable over the years. They start from $399 supplied & fitted for the VE Commodores and use the existing Key FOB to control the alarm (lock/unlock = arm/disarm)
There are cheap GPS Trackers starting from $50 at Jaycar, but I have had quite a few issues with these lasting more than a few months in vehicles. These days I use the QuikTrack systems which are locally supported in case of any issues.
These go for $450 Supplied & Fitted and have monthly monitoring options starting from $19/month.
These also include there own GSM Sim card and I can wire them into the Alarm system so that you receive a notification if there is an event triggered on your car (broken window, unauthorised entry, flat battery etc)
