To add the radio steering wheel control. I really would like that! Maybe I am crazy. I know I would have to buy a new steering wheel...

OEM steering wheel remotes will work with after market HUs with the correct add-on equipment.

What steering wheel do you have now because I have a leather wrapped wheel with steering wheel remotes and would not mind selling it so I could buy a regular leather wrapped wheel.

I dont use my steering wheel remotes.

I believe that you have to have the proper clock spring in the column for them to work properly.

I have the regular plastic wheel. I wouldl love to add them.. i know it sounds crazy but it would make a big difference to me...

Would I have to also change the stock head unit and add the infinity sound deck??

As far as I know, the steering wheel remotes only came with Infinity packages.

You can buy adapters for most HU that will allow aftermarket HU to work with the steering wheel controls.....I bought my set up from crutchfield
