So I'm trying to find out what peoples opinions are on the aftermarket radio dash kits? Trying to find out what people think looks best, made best, and best pricing. I'm looking to go with a double din install. I also want to still be able to use my steering wheel controls. All help is appreciated.

We used the Kanatechs kit in our shop car. It includes the antenna adapter harness and all of the plugs with the kit. It also uses steel brackets for mounting the unit (the metra uses plastic).
Link for the installation kit We also sell the Kanatechs steering wheel adapter too.

You loose the functions of the mpg selector like any of the other kits. You set it on which piece you want and it stays there.
All of the volume and other functions work with the pioneer deck we installed
Take a look at our project car which shows the installed unit. We used a pioneer 3300bt.

Weird, we don't have this in the model selling in hong kong. Can you take a picture of your steering wheel control as well?Its when you hit info on the wheel button to change from the temp\current mpg\avg mpg\miles remaining option...appears on the little screen in the dash beside the speedometer

Is the schoshe all plastic like the metra? Or is it an in between model of the metra and kanatech?
What's the response like with this adapter? Does the headunit register the button presses quickly, or is there a bit of a lag? I tried a PAC adapter in our Mazda 3 several years ago, and it was very, very slow to respond (so bad that I decided I'd rather just keep the factory HU than deal with it).
