Technical 2012 Panda OEM radio replacement

[Dev01]

Hey all,

I'd like to swap my OEM radio with an aftermarket radio such as this:

Source webshop: https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/autorad...h=hKP8oMSSPuhx4IAj5Q5L9g.2_82.86.ProductTitle

Cheap AlieExpress radio stuff aside, it says it's compatible with steering wheel control which my Panda has. Has anyone had experience replacing the radio and still keeping the steering wheel controls (volume, next track, etc) in working order with the radio? I'd love to hear your input.

Yes, I've done this with a 2013 4x4 - mine required a steering wheel interface and wiring adapter for the stereo - you can buy a complete fitting kit at Dynamic Sounds online, hopefully they will ship internationally

Ah thanks.

I found this that specifically mentions the Fiat interface and it sold here locally. I'll give it a try.

Just be careful it's for the Panda, as when I originally looked there was nothing available, I had to send Connects2 a list of pin-outs

Thanks. After doing some more research I decided to go with the same Witson unit that the other topic starter has bought. I went with the most specced out model. It was cheaper than sourcing the different parts myself and hoping they'd all be compatible with eachother. I'll post an update here or in that thread with my experience.
