Will it work with the stereo controls?
Will it work at all?

No idea. I helped another FF'er hook a USA SPEC IPOD interface to the CD changer port. If you want the IPOD interface, that's the way to go.

Fun thread to read. My previous car's (Isuzu Rodeo...clunkered for 09 Fit) radio died and I replaced it with a head unit from best buy that had a usb. This was a few years ago, when USB in a HU was just beginning. I wanted the ease of use/storage features that a USB stick offered, instead of dealing with burning CDs. It was awesome. The only issue I had was it was a slow process of skipping through files and folders to get to a song or group I wanted to listen to.

USB drives, SD cards...wave of the future for cars! Rob22315's story reminded me of the thrill I had of having an endless stream of music from a tiny thumbdrive. No more CDs!

When we were shopping for the Fit, I made sure I got the model with the USB connector (in the upper glovebox). Man I love my USB in the Fit! All of the song information on the HU display....and you can use the volume knob to quickly search through folders and songs (since when you scroll it gives you the names, unlike my old unit in the Rodeo)

Awesome story Rob and Hackbox!
