Thread: Is there a way to use my headunit buttons on pc?

If you're too lazy to find a CD (or searcht eh 'net for the drivers) for your remote, then you're probably not going to have the motivatyion to hack up yourt headunit to get control of the PC with the buttons on teh stereo.

Are you wanting to keep the stock radio functional, or make it just look like the radio?

If you want to keep it, then yes but is more difficult.

If you are willing to hack it up, you can take the leads off the buttons, and wire them to a keyboard controller or something.

.... it can be done though, but it's easier to just find that cd

there is a device that you can hook up to your head unit and control the computer via usb connection. I forgot the name of the product but do a quick search and it should bring up some results.
