On a related subject, I saw your other post asking about the I-Bus. You might be able to use that.
If the AVIC D3 HU has a direct input or an adapter that enables integration with car steering wheel controls, the I-Bus is the key. The I-Bus is the thing that carries the car's steering wheel audio controls, like volume up/down and channel up/down. So, if you can connect the I-Bus to the AVIC D3, then you might be able to use the native steering wheel controls.
Finally, I also thought of some other critical wiring information you need to know...
The radio module in an X5 with navigation is located in the trunk, next to the battery. So, that means that all of the critical wiring you need in the dash needs to be extended. Furthermore, the harness at the radio only has 2-channel audio wiring, since the DSP amp does so much. Therefore, you will need to run four channel audio wires, power, switched power, and antenna to the dash from the trunk.
