Default New Head Unit using stock controls

I am looking to get a new head unit BUT I enjoy having control of my radio through my thumb controls and I am wondering if there is a way to still use the controls when/if I upgrade my HU?


Thanks
Stone

Hey stone, there are many companies that make a unit that is plugged in line and does just that. Many, including myself, use a Biketronics unit but there are many controllers that work. Do a little reading around here and use the search feature. You will find tons of info about them. Ultimately, if you plan on an upgrade, it is best to list the bike, your goals, your budget, and whatever other info you can throw in to help us give you the correct guidance. We all try to live by the "one and done" rule, but the audio upgrade step seems to be endless.... Thankfully there are a lot of good guys around here that have already tried most set ups and are pretty happy to share the results.
Simple answer YES there is.
