Pioneer Double Din in BMWZ4

A Pioneer double din unit was fit with minimal structural change and included Navi and full bluetooth functionality. Sound is now what should be included in any 60,000 dollar automobile and better than what I hear in the enhanced system of the Z4 or my enhanced M3 sedan. Please note, no real room for an upgraded subwoofer without building an enclosure in the trunk. Pics will follow when I get a chance.

Were you able to still use your original steering wheel controls?
