I'm looking to pick up a Kenwood DNX5120 w/ HD, Blue Tooth and back up camera. My only hesitation is it appears they don't make a steering wheel mounted remote (so I don't have to reach for the dash every time i have to change source, answer the phone or to change anything on the head unit. I have had other Kenwood head units that has nice small steering wheel mountable IR remotes that could control the head units, not sure why they would not make one for the 5120 ?! Pionner Avic D3 is the alternative but I hate NAV disks and it does not display RDS info, but it does have a remote you can mount to the steering wheel. (for this price point you would think they would have covered all the bases. (My truck does NOT have factory steering wheel controls (that would have made the decision easier)

What kind of truck? Its possible you can change your wheel to incorporate some controls. I know with my car (audi A4) theres a bunch of different audi wheels that will fit my car. I put a tiptronic wheel in my car (manual tranny) and wired the 2 sets of shift buttons to the volume and track controls through a PAC interface. I also had to change the clock spring to acomodate the extra wiring. My head unit is the dnx7100.
