I know that there are a few after market decks that with an adapter will still permit the use of the steering wheel controls, but the 6 disc changer is part of the head unit, so that's going to be a problem for you.

If you are just looking for Ipod support there is the usa spec PA-12TOY which not only gives you the ability to play your Ipod through the factory radio, but also charges it while it's connected and lets you control the ipod through the steering wheel controlls as well.

Got mine on ebay.

Here's a link

I never bothered to write up a DIY for it, as I just used 007's write up on how to remove the factory radio, and from there it is pretty self explanatory, but I think there may be a write up in the audio/video section now that someone else did.

Search the forums - there's a few different ways to hook up your ipod.

I have the ipod2car PXDP unit (with 6 disc changer and steering wheel controls).

Here's an install:
