I had the rubbish Kenwood tape deck they all come with.

I've since had 3 or 4 different Kenwood headunits, all have worked with the IR controls with no problem - it's not actually a steering wheel control, it acts like a Kenwood remote control - which are pretty much universally compatible with Kenwood HU's.

The only problem I've got is that my latest one has a flip-down front (CD's can only go in behind the faceplate) which means it sticks out a bit too far so I've had to pull the IR sender out a little.

I've got a Kenwood KDC-W6051U fitted currently (not recommending it fits your needs, mind).
