Yes. Kinda pricey though. You can usually find them on ebay. You can also ask somebody to make a custom one for you.

Most of the units will retain the steering wheel controls. In worst case scenario, you will have to buy an adapter to translate the buttons into correct signals for your after market headunit.

No aftermarket headunit is capable of reading the ibus and translate the telegrams into valid information to be displayed on your headunit. So, yes, you will loose the information and functions of the OEM headunit (including DSP, aux heating, etc). However, some info will still be displayed on the OBC, under the odometer.
The only way to have a headunit that reads the ibus would be carpc.
