Can I use an aftermarket deck with my '03 Buick Rendezvous and still use the steering wheel radio controls?

Question

Additionally, I'd like to know how this will affect my heads up display on the windshield that shows the radio station.

Answer 1

Yes, you can keep the steering wheel controls, but you'll need a steering wheel control adapter (available through Crutchfield and other sources). You will need to pick a head unit that either includes a wireless remote control or (better) a jack for a wired remote control. The head unit you choose will determine which steering wheel control adapter you need. The most popular is a universal type that works with most head units with wireless remotes; the adapter model is SWI-X.

You won't be able to keep the station display on the HUD.
