None of them will work diectly with the steering wheel control. You will need a PAC-SWI adaptor ($55) to have continued use of the steering wheel controls. I would not purchase the HU from Best Buy. Go to Crutchfield and buy one there. I believe they are still have the free wiring adaptor, mounting kit and antenna adaptor for free with a purchase over $130. Normally, the installation kit is ~$50.

as long as you stay away from Dual and Insignia, youll be fine. just get the deck from bb, and goto walmart for the install parts.

Thanks for the help but now i have one person saying that none of them will work unless i buy all this extra stuff, but another person saying any of them will work except dual and Insignia? Does anybody else have an idea cuz i don't much about stereo parts at all, and would just liek a few more opinions.

Pioneer makes a great reliable head unit.

He was saying that dual and insignia blows. dashkit and wiring harness will be around 50bucks total. As of now there's free install on decks over 99 bucks. Stick with alpine or pioneer and youll be golden.

I just bought the wiring harness, the dash kit, and the antenna adapter for under $40 all off ebay. the wiring harness was like 7 bucks shipped, the antenna was 10 shipped, and the dash kit was like 20 shipped.
