So I am starting the process of upgrading my head unit in my 2008 EB V8 with premium audio.
I've already upgraded the speakers, and it's time to get a HU that supports Bluetooth. I've done a lot of stereo installs over the years, but this new vehicle has some features I would like to retain. Things like brake & reverse wiring, steering wheel controls, sub & factory amp, and retained accessory power when the ignition is off. Now I could just use a standard metra wiring harness, but I will lose most of those features.
I was hoping someone could help me build a shopping list of what wiring harnesses and adapters I would need to do the install and retain as many of the factory features as possible.
