Not sure about those buttons or if I ever need them again.
This is what I plan to do...


The scangauge would have the inlet temp indicator and the radio would have a clock.
Plus the DVD can be played onto my center dash LCD and rear LCDs.

Steering Wheel Controls

Good news: just got an email saying that there's a device which will let us retain the steering wheel controls.

Not so good news: it's an option we have to pay...

The steering controls work with a certain brand of HU or compatible with any brand?

Airspeed, check out Alpine's new 2-Din HU. Don't know if it's out yet over here, I was told that it is on the way. It also supports direct connection to iPod, I'll post up a link when I find it.
