Having stereo installed monday w/xm

The kenwood system I bought. How do I get the thumb controls to work? Do they only work on certain models?

thanks all

 

With most aftermarket stereos the thumb controls wont work. You will need to check out BIKETRONICS or there are some other ones out there and purchase a retro radio kit usually with a sony head unit. That is the only way I know of to be able to use the thumb controls.
