Default V50, Android, double din

Hi all,

just purchased a lovely V50. I'm considering replacing the stereo with an after market android double din. there seems to be hundreds available.

what i cant work out is whether i will be able to keep the volume, tuning and radio preset functionality of the buttons on the floating dash.

I can find plenty of info on wiring in the controls for the steering wheel buttons.

the last thing i want is redundant buttons on the dash.

Has anyone done this before? and is there a particular system which works best with the V50?

thanks
zac

People have played with the audio system in the V50 before but it's very complicated. The dash is fibre optic so it's not easy to alter too much. I saw a 50 on eBay with a pioneer sat Nav on top of the dash like a factory system but that's a Japanese import and I don't think it affects the stereo
