I bought one of thoses cassettes with the ipod wire , works well for what I need it for , not sure if the steering wheel controls are affected though ? The cassette was bought from the well known auction site  :-X , very cheap I seem to remember , hope this helps

Take care

if you upgrade to an aftermarket h/u you can get iPod connectivity, adaptor to keep steering controls. Will lose the use of screen, but is that really a problem. The check controls will still work etc.

Use a high quality modulator, not the £5 fleabay ones, but a decent £50 one that the Professional Audio installers use, and that way you can retain every function of your existing setup, and still have some fairly respectable sounds through the FM radio.

Yep. Display of radio station / CD track and also update of the clock by RDS.
