If you install aftermarket radio, can you still use the sat on the factory radio? what about the steering wheel controls?

If by sat you mean the radio connection, then no, you cannot use the original radio, you would need to plug the antenna into the new radio in order to use it and you would probably need an extension for it. The new radio would need to have an integrated steering control option. The one i got was is on the cheaper side and although it says "steering control ready" it requires and external adapter for the that costs the same as the radio itself, so for me, I lost the steering control function.

No .because they will unplug the wire from the oem radio and used it on the aftermarket radio.

It will work on the steering wheel, but you have to order the wire harness you can order auniversle steering wheel harness or they might have 1 specific for ur car.. They do have the universal harness on ebay, but i dont know what kind of car ur putting radio inso dont know if they have the 1 specific for ur car i still have to order mine.. Right now i can deal with using remote that comes with radio.. Just fyi you need ur cars aftermarket radio harness and after market antenna wire..

I can't help you with the question. My car doesn't have the steering wheel controls.

Were you able to find out if it comes with the steering wheel control interface?

I bought the Metra steering wheel control unit so the two would be more compatible but you can still use the OEM steering wheel control with little to no issues (depends on your installer).

Yes, you are able to keep your steering wheel controls. Make sure you get installed by a profossonal.

Yes..... but you can get away with the cheaper harness if you dont mind loosing the audible "ding ding" like when you open the door. Since the vehicle info like check engine lights ect... run through your stock radio, its a bit more complicated to add an after market radio. Good luck. It was a nightmare for me when I upgraded, but I had other issues. Id recommend having someone who knows what they are doing do it for you.

It's double din and its also a piece of junk. Please that spend your money on this. Steering wheel controls or the navigation system will work. I spent over $2200. The company that I purchased from was very rude and I was ended up with a piece of junk. Spend your hard earned cash somewhere else Please.

I have a 05 Altima with bose radio and sat button no nav. Not sure if its the same steering wheel controls dont work well.

No, to make the steering wheel controls work you need to get a Steering Wheel Interface Controller from someone like Axxess or PAC (both can be found here on Amazon)

You need this interface to make the aftermarket radio works, and another interface to make the steering wheel controls works, pac swc-rc

Bluetooth work good. Watch out for the steering wheel control. It ll stop working after some time. I contact the seller. He told me to do master reset which I did couple of times but didn't work. Apart from that it works great.

I had the same issue but it was an easy fix. Get the owners manual out. You have to program the steering wheel buttons yourself before they work.

If you want to use your factory steering wheel controls with this stereo, in addition to the radio replacement wiring harness you will also need a steering wheel control interface. This will allow you to retain the factory steering wheel controls when replacing the factory radio. Car Amps Online

As far as fitting, is should pretty much slide right in, as long as the factory radio is a double din also. Hooking all the features up as far as the steering wheel controls I cant answer because my 03 F-350 does not have that option when I installed this unit in there.

There are two or three connectors that plug into the back of the stock head unit. There are three if you have factory satellite radio. You will lose the factory satellite radio if you add an aftermarket head unit. You will be using the two harnesses in the metra kit to install your new aftermarket head unit.

Not with this alone. I have an 2003 g35. I believe you need the thing I've linked below in order to get steering wheel controls to work, but I thought $50 wasn't worth it, so I didn't get it. Make sure to do your research, as I'm not 100% sure this is the right part.. Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface
