Aftermarket radio questions for 2004 M3 Convertible

I just got a 2004 M3 Convertible (LOVE IT!) but want a different radio. (This one doesn't play MP3's or have satellite. I know I can get a different BMW radio but want to know what my options are.

Here's my questions:

  1. If I put an aftermarket radio in, will it "mess up" the BMW Assist or any other features on the car?
  2. Can the current controls on the steering wheel work the aftermarket radio? Best Buy says that they have put adapters in that allow the steering wheel controls to do so BUT crutchfield.com says there is no such adapter for the M3 or the 3 Series (and I couldn't find one for post-2003 cars through Google).
  3. Any other info you can provide for this process would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've got a 1994 e36 318i, and am having a problem with the heater.

It normally just blows cold air, occasionally warm or hot, this is with leaving the temp setting at MAX.

I think there's a v slight leak in the cooling system, whilst hot I can hear a fait hissing noise near the thermostat. I'm going to have a new thermostat and cooling flush done this week, if the heater problem continues, what shall I try next? Could the heater valve be stuck or blocked so that no coolant's going to the heat exchanger?

Please don't tell me its a head gasket, I've had enough of that with a Rover K series engine in the past!

Cheers, Nick
