Hey all! I am looking for an aftermarket Stereo that will sync with the controls on my steering wheel. I am only holding on to the stock one as of now because I want my steering controls to be functional. Need help ASAP, Thanks, Chris

You'll need a seperate interface to use steering wheel controls, no matter what head unit you buy. They usually go for around $60 retail. Head units that say "steering wheel control ready" still need one, so don't let that confuse you. It simply means it'll be a wired connection instead of wireless like the universal one. Look at pac-audio.com to see the various options.

Would a local audio shop be able to do this? I don't know anything about car audio! I bought a new Enclosure with 12" subs (250 Watt a piece) and matching 400 Watt amp (Both by American HI FI AUDIO) and a American HI FI HU All new in box for $80 Just looking to hook it all up and just haven't because I want the steering controls. I figure because I have all the components for cheap, I woould just pay the dividend on professional installation rather than me fudge something up

I would think that an audio shop would do it. It's not all that hard though if you want to do it yourself. You just need to know how to strip and connect wires basically. The instructions tell you which wires go where and all that.

If a car audio shop is afraid to do a steering wheel button interface module, then they shouldn't be doing audio installs- they're not that bad to do.
