Head unit to work with MF steering wheel & Ipod

Hi

I'm getting a cooper s convertible from the dealers that they have in stock. The car only has the basic radio cassette, but it has a multi function steering wheel . They have offered to put Sony in but I've never liked them.

Any ideas what i should fit to work with both the ipod and the steering wheel.

Thanks

PS The is a copy of a post I put in the wrong place D'oh!!!!

You can get many radios from Kenwood, Panasonic, Pioneer, Alpine to both work with the MFSW & Ipod. I have a kenwood in mine, the kenwoods will display the ID3 tags from the stereo, Like rob says have a look round my site Any questions just shout

The alpine solutions look very neat, will they work with the steering wheel?

They will indeed

Yep, you'll have to get an MFSW adaptor (Mikey has them - www.newministuff.com), and then they will work with your Alpine HU
