Recommend Double DIN Stereo for W203

[JellyMonster]

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade the Audio 10 stereo in my 2002 W203.

But I'm getting too bogged down in all the information, so I would appreciate some advice.

Here are my requirements:

• 
  Good iPhone integration - this includes handsfree and audio playback (videos aren't necessary but would be a bonus)

• 
  Good audio quality

• 
  Orange backlight - bit silly, but I'd love it to match the dashboard

• 
  Look good, not one of these 'boy racer' stereos with crazy flashing light.

• Compatible with steering wheel controls

• 
  Navigation isn't necessary but would be a nice bonus

• 
  £400 budget - including fitting accessories (I might be willing to raise this if someone convinces me)

Also, what adapters do I need? I've been looking at kits like this:

If this is right, that's £100 off my budget already! Damn!

I was looking at the Pioneer AppRadio - however I've heard the quality isn't too great and it's made more for Android. Also, I'm not sure if I want to rely on my iPhone to be connected all the time for functionality.

What do you guys think?

He put an appradio in a 203 and It looked rather good. I think he put some pics up here or on another forum.

I would also like to know if the fitting kit is really required.
