Can I use my factory steering wheel controls with an after market head unit?

I have a 2003 Toyota 4 Runner with a factory JBL 6 disc in dash unit. There are steering wheel controls to change cd, station, volume, etc. Can I still use these controls if I purchase an after market head unit, like a Sony or Alpine? Is there some converter I need to buy?Can I use my factory steering wheel controls with an after market head unit?
yes you can and sony is the best choice as they do wiring converters for most cd changers to fit thier head units and also the stem controls on your steering column check thier site or goto any reputable caraudio company for details.
Neno is correct, there are adaptors that you can purchase for particular head units, but be prepared to spend an extra $50-100 plus the installation charge.Can I use my factory steering wheel controls with an after market head unit?
