    Keeping steering wheel controls with new HU

    Well , i am thinking of putting a new head unit in. I have a 96 jeep grand cherokee limited. The thing i really like is the built in controls on the steering wheel to control volume, tracks etc with the factory stereo.

    is there a way to keep this function with a new head unit. I am not sure how the are controlled.

    Thanks!
