The 105D has a remote, you won't really need anything else just to play CDs. I controlled mine with a Harmony remote. It also has buttons on the front to control eject, play, pause, skip, etc. There's also an app you can download for your phone or table. You may need a screen to get deep into the settings. It's been a long time since I used the app and can't remember how much functionality it has, but I'm not sure there's anything you would need to fuss with just to play CDs.
