you will, but there are ways to get around it  Have a look in the tutorial section and it shows you how to get your MFD back. However, it wont show any information form the H/U, just the date/temp etc

nope, swapping the yellow/red wires solves memory storing problems 
snipping the red/grey wire brings up the display

yea, you have to snip the red/grey cable or diconnect the remote lead (antenna lead, should be a blue colour), its all in the tutorial section mate

i fitted my new alpine headunit the other day and i havent changed any wires around at all. I can store radio stations in the memory but i lose the date and radio station, but the temperature and clock still works.

Well i bought a cable which does the steering controls. An audioleads one which said you will not get a remote display. 
And I bought a Vauxhall Facia adaptor, and this cable came with it. it converted all the wires. Plugged it in and I got all the details for my unit, like track time station. The only thing that stopped working was the automatic clock. I guess cause it was linked to the RDS of the original stereo.
