Symphony/HK upgrade to DAB?

Morning all... long time lurker, occasional poster...

As her indoors has expressed the desire to get a caravan, I've sort of been considering my options as, well, with the best will in the world my ZT120 ain't exactly a load lugger.

Last night, after a bit of horse trading, I purchased a 75 Connoisseur V6 auto, Y reg, 81000 miles, for the princely sum of 250 of your fine Earth pounds... needs recommissioning as it's been laid up for a year, of which more anon.

Anyway, it's currently fitted with a Symphony head unit and HK upgrade, but as a 6 Music/Planet Rock addict I'm looking at installing a DAB. I have a JVC single DIN headunit in the ZT which is good quality but (obviously) only single DIN and doesn't work with the steering wheel controls. I'd like a double DIN which doesn't look like it's come out of a Citroen Saxo, fits with the minimum of fuss, is compatible with the CD changer for those days when only a blast of Public Image Ltd will do, works with the steering wheel controls, and most importantly doesn't cost 3 times what I paid for the car...!

Any recommendations would be most welcome.
