if i replace the head unit with a touch screen system and all that stuff will i still functional steering wheel controls?? is this something to even worry about with the systems that are out? i mean my pioneer in my saturn came with a remote soi dont even need steering wheel buttons any1 else wanna put their 2 in?

I know the cruise controls and dic still work, but the radio controls need an adapter. Same with the chimes, but I don't know if the chimes adapter is made yet

Can someone explain to me why remotes were created for car stereos? Has the modern era gotten so lazy they can't move their hand over a few FREAKIN' INCHES TO TURN ON A FREAKIN' RADIO?? :eek: :lol:

So you be pimp and controll the stereo from outside the vehicle. Most of the people I know that have installed aftermarket head units with remotes keep them sitting right on their lap so they can hit mute when a cop passes. There are lots of thing you can put on a remote to be pimp, like neon lights and doors.

Ah..It's a pimp thing. I guess I'm just old school. :cool:

You can get a harness to interface the the steering wheel control so you can still use them. It's not a big deal to make it work.

aight that great then im going to have to go aftermarket on this, gotta make some windows crackk,

The remote also comes in handy when your in the back of the car trying to tune your system..

Very good point. :smile:

the remote also helps with me not having to move forward and take my eyes off the road...

I like the way Wheelsee threw in that SAFETY factor!! lol I'm with you Txman, old school, don't see a need for one, however the last two I bought aftermarket came with the remotes and I never used them... Just another bell or whistle for marketing I think...

My $0.02....
