Advice on changing Monaro Stereo

[BlueDevil]

As the title says. Looking for advice on changing the standard Monaro stereo. Currently looking at a Kenwood unit with Bluetooth and DAB. I have read Ferretts how to in the FAQ which explains a lot, but are there any pitfalls to look out for as I also want to retain the steering wheel controls.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys I'll send Ferrett a PM. Stage 1 is the headunit and will move on to the speakers at a later date, just want I pod connection as a start

What surround is that as it looks a perfect match. Like the gauges

Thanks for the pictures I have ordered a Pioneer today. Can I ask what else you ordered apart from the face plate

Finally got all the parts togethor to fit the new headunit and have to say thanks to the people on this forum it was pretty straight forward. Got the steering wheel control adaptor and facia from incar tec and the aerial adaptor off eBay as suggested by Ferrett. I have to say I do know now why so many fitted metal brackets as the plastic ones that come with the facia are pretty c**p, you pretty much have one chance of getting aligned, will certainly be changing mine out for metal brackets, otherwise very happy with the mod.
