I was happy with the OEM radio in my S, but wanted a larger screen for the backup camera I added. I bought this on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010LFISKW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
for 99 dollars. Works well for my use. It has inputs for the steering wheel controls, but I didn't bother with trying to figure them out or get an adapter. I used this harness. Note that amazon says this does not fit the leaf, but it actually does work fine.

I did buy an antenna connection adapter, needed bc the leaf antenna requires 12 volts supplied through the antenna connection.

Bought this for filling the gaps on the sides. A ruler and razor knife are all that are needed to trim to correct fit.

The hands free Bluetooth work fine with my old iphone and my newer BLU android phone. Has automatic muting and switching display to the camera when I put car in reverse. I did not connect the original Leaf mic which is in the switching unit above the rearview mirror, and the builtin mic in the new head unit doesn't pick up my voice as well as the Leaf mic, but still works well enough.
The display is not quite as bright as the OEM display on my wife's SV, but brighter, and of course larger, than the OEM unit on my S.
