Hey all!

I have a 2012 Seat Leon FR+ 2.0 TDi CR170 DSG which has the standard RNS315 Radio (all works fine) car has front and rear parking sensors.

In the near future I'm looking to replace with an aftermarket Pioneer or Kenwood which has car play but also seen the Chinese android 9" screens which look smart

I want to replace where I can still retain the handsfree functionality as don't want to add another separate mic (can I mod the existing wiring to suit?)
I want to see the front and rear parking sensor on the screen as well as the beeps to work (optical display function)
I want DAB to still work
and also want the steering controls to work

I have also seen the RCD330/360 and other variants which looks very OEM but again the mic for handsfree is built in onto the stereo - but aside this, will the above requirements still function how I want it to?

Look forward to your responses and suggestions

Short answer is no, you won't get all that. Some of that you can make work, it won't be cheap.

Don't bother with a Chinese unit, they promise alot but don't deliver.
