Remote controls for my Kenwood

[jayouest]

Hi  I have a LDV van that I have just installed a Kenwood DAB radio into I want to be able to control the radio from the steering wheel if possible or some rocker switches on the dash.

The steering wheel does not have any audio control buttons on it.

So am I led to believe that these steering wheel controls actually control the radio via an interface which has some sort of 'radio' technowledgy ie wifi blue tooth or what ever?

So what do the buttons on the steering wheel do?

Sorry may seem dopey to you boffins  but....

boffins... British? anywho, you might try one of these https://www.amazon.com/fosa-Wireless-Universal-Infrared-Steering/dp/B07D39YXLS/ref=sr_1_30?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1545920778&sr=1-30&keywords=steering+wheel+remote+control

i used one of these for years and was pretty happy with it back in the early 2000s https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-CD-SR11-Steering-AVIC-D2-AVIC-N3/dp/B000ARCB6Y/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1545920778&sr=1-10&keywords=steering+wheel+remote+control

to your last question, i guess are you just looking to see what all can be done on the control unit?
