I'd like the steering wheel controls, but I'm not really that bothered about the screen.... I might take the screen out and replace it with a hard wired Satnav and fibreglass it into the dash. I haven't really decided yet.
Best way to be mate!
I'll be buying the alpine one I suggested next month, so if you haven't decided yet, you're more than welcome to come and have a listen to mine.

Looks like I might have just made this up then. Lol.
