I don't believe there are any aftermarket headunits that preserve the dash controls. However you can buy an adapter that restores the use of the controls. I bought the Modifry adapter and it works great. It even adjusts the volume level based on the speed of the car if you want it to. With a Pioneer HU the dash controls will work a little differently from stock, but it would be a good upgrade to preserve the controls.

thats pretty awesome, i had no idea

+1 for modifry. though i dont use it, its the elite solution. i just use my HU as modifry is a little too much $ for me

Your head unit has to be compatible with a steering wheel control adapter for them to work. That Pioneer does not support steering wheel controls.

returned the poineer and now have 80 dollars for bestbuy, will put money on top but nothing like 200 dollars, any ideas of a good deck to get that i can hook up the modifry and a ipod throught the back

modifry.com has a list. alpine HUs are the most popular i think, im sure youll be fine with a alpine 105. and buy your HU online, not through BB. save some money. good luck!

For the wired DCI. Modifry has an IR DCI as well.

Check the compatibility lists on Modifry's site. I highly recommend using a HU that is compatible with the wired DCI. If you go Alpine you can use Modifry's Alpine PnP harness which makes install a snap. Swapping out the head unit only takes a few minutes with the PnP harness.

Go Alpine, it's better quality and very user friendly. Also all the usb connection is in the rear so you can route the cable anywhere and you can still use the radio cover door.
