yes, just about all of them. Well, if the head unit comes with a wireless remote, then it can be made to work with steering wheel controls. And any head unit will work with the stock speakers.

Replacing just the headunit is easy... its in the FAQ too:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wiring-stereo-electronics/303776-frequently-asked-questions.html

You need:
* Mounting Kit
* Wiring Harness
* Steering Wheel Control Adapter

If your headunit has wired remote input, you can use a PAC SWI-?. (The ? is to denote the manufacturer-specific unit. Example: PAC SWI-PS works with Pioneer and Sony.)

If your headunit does not have a wired remote input but it does have and IR remote, then you can use the PAC SWI-X. Its the universal IR steering wheel adapter.

No its easy.

The Monsoon headunit is a regular gm headunit that provides speaker-level outputs to the Monsoon amp. You can replace it with any aftermarket headunit that has an internal amp (almost all do).

Read the FAQ and do some searching for more specifics.
