In order to retain steering wheel controls, you need two things:

A head unit that has a IR wireless remote

This unit is a learnable device that interfaces with the steering wheel wires and will send an IR signal to the head unit. It's pretty easy to install and program. Search the web for "PAC SWI-X" or hit up a stereo retailer in your area.
