You would think changing out the head unit with an updated H/U thats Sat ready and has a iphone/usb interface would be simple on such a classic car as an 01 xk8 coupe. It would be asking way too much to be able to preserve steering controls, but alas, I can find no possibilities and no dealers/shops in the Atl that can do that even with custom din. Anyone have any ideas? Even the folks at Nexxia.UK no help.

You can do two things...
(1) motorized screen in a single DIN unit
(2) single DIN unit
Each will require a custom faceplate, fabricated by the shop and 'painted' to match.
I personally went with the JVC ADV-49, but if I were to do it now, I'd install the AVX-77 instead. The 77 has a wired microphone, as the 49 built-in mic is too far away to work effectively.
The 77 allows for custom wallpaper, with a jag, should be fun to create one.
Mine will operate an Ipod, but I simply run my 160 GB hard drive from the USB cable...sooo much better, and no compression in the music.
I've installed the HD Radio module, and it'll do SAT i believe also.
Take a look if you like at my install. I'll be glad to help if I can.
Forgot to mention, the PAC steering wheel adapter works fine on my car. Its programmable, so you choose what each button on your wheel does to the head unit.
