Will steering wheel controlls work with aftermarket radio? I have a 2003 Silverado and I was wondering if I wanted to get a nicer radio/CD player will I still be able to use the steering controlls? The sales guy at the local Soundtrack couldn't tell me for sure. Thanks!

Re: Will steering wheel controlls work with aftermarket radio? ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE!?!?!??!
The right car electronics shop can make this work, most likely with an ir repeater and a head unit that uses a remote. I know this solution exists for other vehicles with steering wheel contols. I'm not sure whether there is a "fix" for your BRAND NEW VEHICLE.

Re: Will steering wheel controlls work with aftermarket radio? U can buy a unit that wires into the radio and all as a "hardwired remote" kind of deal. They are pretty much universal. For about $60-$100. Depending on the store. Near about all Stereo stores carry these. But yes u can use them with aftermarket radio. I'm about to put one on my car so I can use the steering wheel controls with my Alpine. Laterz and good luck. Justin

To my knowledge, Soundgate makes one JUST for the Din 1/2 Alpine decks.
PAC makes one that is 3 wires, and a IR eye, power, ground, signal. It will work on 99% of headunits with a remote eye.
