Hi, I'm looking to purchase the Alpine 9835 MP3 Player, I plan to Install it in my 2003 Mk4 Astra SXi, I'm looking for quite a bit of advice before I go part with my hard earned cash. I would like to know the following. 1: Going off some of the web sites retailing the Alpine 9835, the only pictures I can find of the unit seem to have the displayed shown in black and white, is this the case or is the display colour? 2: I want to be able to make use of the factory radio display console on my Astra as well as the stereos display, I've been told that quite a few stereos can make duel use of this i.e. : some Kenwood systems, however I see from the specs of the 9835 that it says "vehicle display output" does this mean I could plug whatever wiring I have straight into the back or would I need a interface? 3: Another question would be that I want to be able to use my steering wheel controls on my Astra and that the Alpine 9835 specs state "OEM Steering control output", would I need an adaptor or again would this plug straight in. PS: I acknowledge that I would need a ISO adaptor for the power/speakers etc, I have a standard CD500 stereo installed in my Astra atm. I was looking at this stereo in Halfords but none of the staff in there could answer any of my questions, I don't want to me branching out over £400 to find out it can't do what I want it to do. Many thanks for any help and advice. Pete
