Hi,
Re: stereo lead was a £50 adaptor the plugs in the back of original stereo but you loose use if cd changer if fitted.

How much did you pay for the steering wheel if you don't mind me asking?

Looking for one myself at the min.

Wowsers!

I bought the exact same wheel for £210 including the airbag. Getting the airbag (although identical to my airbag) meant I could sell my one for alot more. From your pic, i'm guessing it was the same ebay seller as it looks identical:

I painted the plastic trim gloss black in the end and it looks much better.

Nice steering wheel , is it an E53 wheel or a converted E46 ?? Where did you get it done ??

The iPhone input to the stereo , have you used one of these leads that 'opens' up the AUX
output on the 16:9 head unit ??
