DOUBLE DIN with steering wheel controls recommendations welcom

I have a 2012 MCS with boost stereo and I would like a new Double DIN high power stereo that retains the steering wheel controls (MFSW) as well as iPhone 5 compatibility so I can use GPS apps , iHeart radio, Pandora etc and get the audio through the speakers. Bluetooth and satellite radio are also a requirement. I know there are many out there but the iPhone 5 compatibility is vague so I would like to get some specifics. Please let me know your experiences and recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Tough.

I know Pioneer has it for the iPhone 5 but you need to purchase extra stuff to make it work which is absolute crap. I'm looking as well for a similar setup but may just jump off a cliff and get the Pioneer 940BT DDIN from last year as they have them on for a good price now and forget about the dream.

In all the looking around I did, I could not find one DDIN that was the holy grail and did everything well or even had everything I wanted. My head started spinning after reading all the reviews and it became more and more of a frustration

I think to get it all, one needs to build a car PC.

I actually had a Pioneer x930BT in a car that I just sold and I am regretting it more each day.
None of the new Pioneers has a volume know which I find really stupid.
It's too distracting to feel around for switches or even the touchscreen just to adjust the volume. Somebody please save me .
