? about changing the HU.
Im a n00bie so take it easy on me.
I am considering a sound system (Subs/Amps/HU/Front/Rear speakers).
Now my question is if i change the HeadUnit, will i be able to use the Audio control buttons on a driver's side? (mute/audio/volume) buttons.
if not, has anyone done it so that it will work with after market HU's?
TIA

You can do it. Lucid, a site sponsor, offers head units and the PAC SWI-X unit that allows you to use the controls. Several people here in AZ have done it.
Lucid's site is:

It is a pretty neat install too. I helped pull a head unit out, but have not done mine yet.

One more question,
so if i buy the PAC SWI-X unit from lucid, will local audio shops be able to do this job easily?

You can buy the SWI-X at just about any local shop, so if you're going for a large install, convince them to throw an install of one in for free. Off the net, you can find shops that sell them for around $50. See my webpage to get an idea of what's involved...
