I'm reading all these posts about people swapping out their HU's. I'm assuming that this would render the steering wheel controls inoperative. Is this correct or is there a way that you can still use them - i.e. a wire harness mod or something.

Do some aftermarket HU's come compatible with steering wheel controls?
It would be a shame to have a nice HU but then have useless buttons on the wheel.

 

do a search, i feel like this has been covered a million times

 

alpines new headunits for 2005 will have that feature to use those controls.. other than that im not sure

 

I did a search and did not find what I was looking for. There aren't even a million posts yet
