hu change?

Is there a head unit that will work with the steering wheel buttons are do you need to get an interface?
Thanks

Most modern stereos are steering control ready - just check the spec
You will then need a mfsw adaptor - we have a good range of plug & play adaptors

You could also keep the factory HU, and send the signal through a good processor piece, like an ARC Audio SRI, or the JL Clean sweep. These pieces can cost as much as a descent aftermarket HU however.

Aesthetics and factory control were big for me, and I went with the ARC piece. Terrific results, and I couldn't be happier.
