206 changing head unit

hi guys

i am tempted to replace the head unit on my 206 but have a problem -

how would i get the steering wheel controls and the heads up display thing to work?

the 206 has a small screen in the centre above the HU showing time, temperature etc as well as radio info, and ideally i would like to get this working with an aftermarket HU, is this possible?

also i presume the cd changer would just plug into the new HU easily enough? it has the same blue plug as the old HU

any advice much appreciated

its 2000, W reg

my mate has a spare HU which i was gonna use, i know its a JVC with an MP3 CD player, thats all

i dont know if its the HU or the speakers but it doesnt sound very good at all, so i was looking into replacing the lot

just tried it and plugged in what i could and it worked well, think if i get the adaptors for the changer and stuff it'll work

sounded a fair bit better than the stock one too

edit - is it possible to get an adaptor so i can use the cd changer on the JVC HU? at the moment it has the blaupunkt one on (blue block connector thing) but i cant find one that will change it to the JVC one
