Check out PAC (www.pac-audio.com) & SoundGate (www.soundgate.com). Both should have units that might work but them may not be able to use the wired remote input, you may have to go infrared.
Good luck!

if you have the controls already on the steering wheel then what you'd need is a remote 4 from soundgate or the swi-vfrom PAC, the swi-x is for vehicles that have the AC and heater controls on the steering wheel.

Which vehicles have AC and heater controls on the steering wheel? </font>[/QUOTE]"The SWI-X is a learning remote which allows the customer to retain the use of their steering wheel or rear seat radio controls when replacing the factory head unit. The SWI-X will interface most aftermarket stereos into most vehicles with steering wheel or rear seat audio controls. Works with virtually all aftermarket radios with wireless infrared remote capability. The SWI-X also retains the use of heater control buttons on GM vehicles. The SWI-X features just can't be beat...
