The dash controls will not work but you can buy dash control kits from site members. I'd recommend driving around without the dash buttons for a while to see if you really miss them. I kind of do, but the kits are a bit pricey and so far not having them hasn't been too rough, for me at least.

It is really easy to add the dash control interface afterwards, so you don't have to get it right away. I thought that I didn't miss the dash buttons until I installed the DCI. Now I use them all the time again. Definitely leave it on the wish list.

 

Definitely awesome, but $90 - $200. Ouch! Even with spending $2k on a system that's just soo much money for a few swtiches.
