steeringwheel audio control
i just installed my sony mp3 head unit...however after installing it discovered that the steeringwheel controls for volume, etc. aren't working. is there a way to connect it somehow, or is it "dead" forever??? thanks.

There is a way to retain the factory steering wheel controls with an aftermarket head unit. You have to buy an adaptor - I got one from Perepherial Products. It hooks up the the factory controls and uses an infrared signal(the same as the remote for your new cd player) to control it. You have to mount the IR sender somewhere in the cab where it is facing the front of the cd player.
I bought my adaptor for somewhere around $60.
