    Been a while, but getting my old MS6 back. I had an iPod adapter in there when I had it before, but I would like to find an adapter kit that will let me play music from a USB thumb drive & control it through the steering wheel buttons & head unit buttons as if it were factory. Does such a kit exist?

    Nope. Aftermarket time.

    I think a lot of people buy Eonon to replace the stock head unit. AFAIK, they have the functions you're looking for.

    You're gonna need a new head unit that has usb functionality, and an interface to function with SWC.

    Yeah; start with a simple project and end up balls-deep in redoing your entire stereo, like I did.

    If you're pulling the headunit to add the grom usb usb may as well just upgrade it imo (budget depending)

    Why not just do an Aux mod with a bluetooth adapter? I made my own aux mod (there's a how-to on this site somewhere), and then bought a Kinivo BTC455 to plug into it. Works a treat, but you have to use your phone/ipod/etc. to control the playlist.
