First time fitting an after market head unit with wheel controls, please help!
Hey, sorry if similar posts exist but many are out of date and I am still a little confused. I would like some advice on what parts to buy for my Corsa D to be able to fit an aftermarket single din stereo while keeping the steering wheel controls intact.
Car: Vauxhall Corsa D 2011 1.4
Current stereo: CD 30 MP3
This is the stereo I am purchasing:
Sony DSX-A416BT

Does the Sony stereo head unit come with the required wiring hardness already in the box or do I also have to buy one of these and if so what ones are compatible with the above stereo:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inex-Stereo.../dp/B074S7ZH78
I am confused over what steering wheel adapter control to buy as there are at least 4 and all look similar:

https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/vaux...e-adaptor.html
https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/vaux...l-adaptor.html
https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/conn...l-adaptor.html
and will I need to buy any other ISO hardness’s or does this all come with the above kits?
e.g. https://incartec.co.uk/product/Vauxh...dwire-ignition
I know I will need a Sony patch lead, single din adapter facia and double din removal tools, all of that I can get myself, but will I also need an antenna adapter for the radio?
I am also very confused whether I need to wire the stereo in using the red/yellow cable for power/ignition as some people/harnesses’ say you need to while others do not, does anyone know if I need to on my car and if so, any idea as of how?
I am terribly sorry for the questions and post, but I am in desperate need of some advice here, as long as I know what bits I need I think I can fit it all ok, many thanks everyone for putting up with me 😊
