Replacement head unit with iPhone BT control

Hi everyone, I tried searching and did some research on manufacturers' websites but I couldn't come to a definitive conclusion.
Is there a replacement head unit for older bikes (2009 FLHX) that will have Bluetooth connectivity with an iPhone and allow the rider to have control (skip songs, go through playlists, etc.) of the iPhone using the handlebars controls?
The most likely contender appeared to be the Jensen HD1BT but the manufacturer told me that it was not possible to control the phone with the handlebars controls.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I know it's of no help to you but I've been wondering the same thing.

Thanks for the info. I just contacted them and they assured me that you could control the iPhone via BlueTooth using the handlebars controls.
