I'm pretty sure you can get a double din such Alpine and you can install 2 aftermarket steering modules, so that you don't lose your control.

I know this because I have a 505 Alpine and I could've gotten those 2 modules, but didn't see the need and didn't want to waste my money

Hope it helps and just wait for some experts to give you more info...

We have a Pioneer Avic X710BT installed with a Scosche dash kit, Metra harness, ebay antenna adapter, and Pioneer CA-R-PI.131. Works great with steering wheel controls, display says Pioneer instead of audio, fits perfect and looks OEM.

I was on a budget since I was getting a W6v2 sub, JL amp, Home theatre amp and a center speaker at the same time, PLUS I never really used my volume buttons on my steering.

I also remember they wanted to charge me alot for installing those 2 modules, more expensive than the 2 modules itself and it's 100 CAD each, but more. It's always more expensive in Canada for parts
