So I need a new stereo for my business OEM
Need a suggestion
What features in the car will be messed with for the switch out
I know the clock reset thing will go away

Do you have the basic head unit? The business cd?
If yours is the sat nav version, I dont have knowledge of that one.

I replaced mine a while ago and don't regret it.
The cars time is still setup on the main instrument cluster as per normal. I think the new radio time is separate but can't remember.

I had to get a harness for the steering wheel controls but apart from that it was fine.

The only other feature that I can think of that I lost was the auto volume control where it adjusts according to your speed.

Ooh.
Good point on the slow down volume adjust
I was suspicious of like the alarm system or the light dimming
I do have the OEM business CD
Any suggestions on best stereo

Does such a thing exist, i.e. convert a non-controls steering wheel to a steering wheel with controls?

The harness I got was to convert a mfsw to an after market HU.
I'm sure there is the information on this forum to convert a non mfsw to a mfsw.
