If you go with an Xtrons android unit then no adaptor needed. Pretty much plug and play. Ebay is probably the best place to look for adaptor plates if you choose one of the many others available.

Radio performs well but only Fm and Am built in, if you want DAB it's an optional extra. Satnav works fine and yes you can bluetooth audio from your phone to it without any problems and the same with hands free phone use. As it's an android unit you can download spotify, Tidal etc and just hotspot from your phone and stream directly from the Xtrons. Its also got things like Youtube built in and i've also installed Netflix and Amazon prime on mine and they also work with no problems. I've also just recently installed a usb port into the centre console and i've got 50+ albums stored on a memory stick which the unit reads with no issues so i don't really have the need to stream music on the go.
