With most head units you can get plug and play connectors which makes it real easy, just be careful when taking the plastic trim off. Now as far as the steering wheel controls, they will be gone unless you get something to relearn them. I can only speak from experience and with my Avic-D3 I can get a piece that plugs into the back of the HU that will re-learn my steering controls so that it can function like normal.

Yea at first i missed them, but I have had my system in my car for over two years and I don't miss them one bit, but like i said depending on the head unit you can get a box that will re-learn the steering wheel controls.
