I know that in the fbody cars if you have steering wheel radio/CD controls, they are not useable w/ an aftermarket head unit. Good luck in finding something you can use. Post a pic of your car so that my "yank" ass knows what it is....

You might have some luck by looking at some of the brand names websites and emailing them the tech question.

if you've got the steering wheel controls and you buy and aftermarket headunit with a remote the there's a thing that will allow you to still use the wheel controls by configuring a little module type thing to send the proper signals to teh radio.

Stock radios go like this: Wheel mounted control--->radio
aftermarket thingy I'm talking about does this: Wheel controls--->reciever thing---signal--->aftermarket unit
