yes. there are aftermarket brands that offer remote capability but it has limitations. if you really like the remote controls you might want to look into an original equipment upgrade to gain a CD player or multi CD changer that was made for your car and retain the steering wheel controls, you can usually pick one up at a junk jard.
You might want to check out the Crutchfield website (www.crutchfield.com), particularly this page that I found by searching the site for steering wheel controls; http://www.crutchfield.com/S-87x9PMzbwPt/cgi-bin/prodsearch.asp?sp=lnav&cm_re_o=TkB_zkEzM*kwufEzM*lwzygt&search=steering+wheel+controls&go.x=0&go.y=0 This shows some add-on electronics which will allow you to use your steering wheel controls on an after market stereo.

not sure if they had CD players or not but you can go to any car stereo shop and they have a module to hookup the steering controls to any stereo that you put in
We have put an aftermarket car stereo in a car with the controls on the steering wheel. You have to check to see if an aftermarket wiring harness is available for that year and model.
It doesn't control anything. It is the connection for the cruise switches, horn switch, radio controls(if equipped) and airbag that allow the steering wheel to turn and there to still be a connection.
The vehicle has to be equipped with the controls in the first place or the body contol module can't read them.
Light blue is for steering wheel controls or a wire remote control.
probably extra controls for the stereo volume and station selection.
try in fuse box by steering wheel if not remove stereo will have separate fuse with wiring at the back of stereo.
The steering wheel controls are probably bad The only fuse is the radio fuse and if the radio works the fuse is OK Also if you do not have the original stereo, and your new stereo does not have a place to plug in those controls they will not work.
Most likely replace the clock spring. Or check all plugs going to the stereo unit including inside the Steering wheel. Be sure to disconnect negative battery terminal for 2 minutes before opening the steering wheel for safety reasons regarding the airbag if fitted.
yea the same one that it had u can probably get it at Pontiac dealer ship or at the junk yard --------------------------------------- Well there isn't necessarily a radio with that feature but you can buy an adapter for it. The one I ended up getting was the PAC SWI-X Steering Wheel Controls Interface. It worked out perfectly for me. But be sure to read about it first and make sure that it is compatible with your new stereo.
Replace the fuse in the kick panel under the steering wheel.
