[gregor182]

hi
After quite alot of arugments with renault over radio ect its looking like im going to need to buy a new head unit, i would prefer to have a ipod ready unit,with a non standard unit will i always loose the steering wheel controls? is there a part or certain unit i can buy that would maintain these controls? (its a ph2 172 btw)any help would be great
i did a search but didnt pull much up

im sure you can buy a steering wheel/display adaptor for most decent units. Alpine seems to be the one to go for.

You can buy an aftermarket stereo, alpine, jvc etc and get a stalk adaptor which will allow you to use the steering wheel controls.

I have had a couple of ipod friendly head units, Alpine, Pioneer and a couple of others. I have alwyas found Alpine to be the best.

You will need a seperate cable with most units to be able to use the steering wheel controls, last time i checked these weren't cheap...around £70 - 100 although that could just be the shop i went to.

Most audio shops should have a pretty good idea of exactly what you will need.
