Steering wheel controls are lame and you're lazy for not just reaching out a whole 12" and turning a ****. However, get a PAC SWI-X.

...as long as the original harness wasn't butchered during installation of the aftermarket head unit. If it was, you can get replacement connectors at several car audio places.

But the right HU & parts and you can use the steering controls.
