Seat Ibiza Steering Wheel controls

Recently purchased a 2006 Seat ibiza, with radio controls on the steering wheel. However, the actual seat radio isn't in it, and I'll be looking to replace it with this

Would it be possible to configure one of these radios to work with the steering controls does anyone know? If so, is it a pricey job?

Special Circumstances

Your first choice of radio does not appear to have an input to accept steering wheel controls, the second one does.

You will need:
A radio capable of accepting steering wheel controls
And
A steering wheel control adapter

The Adapter will come as several parts:
A base unit that translates the steering wheel buttons.
A lead from that unit to suit your car.
A lead from that unit to suit your radio.

Have a look at connects2 .co.uk for examples of what you need.

Shouldn't be too bad with a fairly common car brand (although I don't know how common SWC is in Ibizas?). Can be a pain if you have an oddball car or SWC was rare for that model.

So it will need a seperate adapter yeah? Cheers for the reply, will it look messy do you think?

Special Circumstances

Adapter should tuck away some where out of sight- behind radio or under dash - you won't ever need to see it once everything has been connected up. Well worth it - if you are used to SWC you will never want to go back to not having them.
