Need Advice - on Sony HU WX-GT78UI

[Senocs]

Hi guys - i'm thinking of changing the stock head unit on my FD as I really need a HU with a USB connection.

 

As I'm not really into ICE and not that particular about those sound quality that would cost thousands and thousands to fix up, I was looking at HUs that were more budget and thought of getting the Sony WX-GT78UI due to its design and lower cost.

 

But I read some other comments elsewhere and I wanted to hear your opinions on the following questions :

 

- Lots of people say that Sony HU is not as good as some others such as Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine etc, and since I am also not very particular or demanding on this, but ... this Sony WX-GT78UI it should at least be better than my civic FD stock head unit, right ?

 

- The other thing is, I have audio controls at the steering wheel - is the Sony WX-GT78UI compatible to connect to the steering wheel audio controls ?
