hi there...if you change your head unit you will lose your stearing wheel sound controls...unless the new head unit has an adapter that allows you to use those controls!

brands like alpine, kenwood, sony, etc, have that kind of adapter...just ask for it at the store!

i agree with huu, when installing my head unit, i only found sony to have the adaptor for the steering audio control. although i have to say when you have a great system in there i think you'll totally forget about getting it hooked up. that's wat happened to me!!

i have an alpine head unit and to be honest i dont even notice that i dont have the adapter! alpine does supply that adapter but you dont really get to use the audio controls on the stearing wheel!;)
