Default 2000 SLT Plus Radio Controls and aftermarket radio

Can I use the factory behind the steering wheel controls with a aftermarket radio?

I believe there should be a blue remote wire on your new deck, hook that up and your stock steering wheel controls should work. but dont quote me on that. I dont have them.

Ok, the reason I ask is that I my truck had an aftermarket Sony cdx-gt200 stereo cd installed in it before I bought it. I didn't know until tonight that I even had the control installed on the back of the steering wheel. lol. Just bought the truck yesterday. Thanks for the information.

yeah i have the SLT model as well... no steering whelel controls, but the deck i installed came with a nice litlle remote. It's kinda nice to use, and that little tiny tray in the the armrest/junk holder works as a great place to keep it!
