Postby Say..."Renno" » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:50 pm

probably been asked before but...is there a special facia needed or is it a case of just using the fitting kit supplied...also is there any possibility of being able to use the controls at the wheel.. :cool:

just fit it as it is i think, and you will have to check the specs of the head unit to see if its compatible with steering control.
