You want a PAC-SWIX. I have one and it works well.

The PAC SWI-X is a universal adapter that will adapt the steering wheel controls to almost any aftermarket head unit that has an infrared remote control. PAC also makes adapters that plug directly into the back of certain compatible models of head unit. If your Kenwood has a remote control jack on the back then you can use the PAC SWI-JACK for a direct connection that doesn't require mounting an infrared sender like the SWI-X does.

It's not a question of what model of car - it's what model of Kenwood radio you have. You have to find out if your Kenwood has a remote control jack on the back (for use with a wired remote). If it does then you can use the SWI-JACK to connect your steering wheel controls. If it doesn't have the jack but it has an infrared remote then you can use the SWI-X. If it doesn't have either kind of remote control capability then you're just out of luck.
