Hi guys.

I am thinking of buying this stereo...Sony MEX BT4700 and this fascia:

Just a couple of questions.

Would I be able to use my steering wheel controls with this system, if yes, which name/model wire would I need to purchase seperately for it to work. (X-Type 2.0D 53 plate)

Would it be a nice flush fit with that stereo and that fascia, I don't want anything popping out, I want it all level. Does anyone have any experiences with this stereo or fascia..?....Would I need extra brackets or anything and would I need to do any modifications to exisiting wiring for the fitting of the stereo. i want it to simply connect to the cars wiring without having to cut wires etc.

Does anybody know any similar stereos with similar features, possibly with a flip out screen, single DIN though which is face-off. Has to be compatible with iPhone and steering wheel..

 

you would need the PAC SWI-PS Steering Wheel Adapter to have the controls work with the Sony stereo that is ready for SWC. Like this one:

That radio should fit flush with that fascia, anything that would be sticking out would be the buttons from the stereo itself. check to see if you need ISO adapters or antenna adapters depending on the connectors the Sony system has.

 

How would I check if I would need ISO adapters or antenna adapters depending on the connectors the Sony system has..? sorry to be a pain, but I don't even know what they are.

Here is the technical page on the sony website, they also have manuals with parts list etc in pdf format:

Would I be be able to just buy the stereo, the steering wheel lead and the fascia and thats it to get it all working..?

I'm also bidding on this:
