try touse the search feature at the top... this had been convered at leadt 10 times on this forum... and the answer is yes, you can purchase an adapter to retain all steering wheel functions except the bluetooth function (if your vehicle has this)

also, from what i've read in these forums...there will be a slight delay in the response of the buttons. It won't be "perfect" but it will still work. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

that's absolutely correct, there is a slight delay in button response. You have to hold it for about 3/10 of a second in order for the signal to process. No more quick taps to control things. Being that I didn't have steering wheel control in my previous vehicle, it doesn't bother me that much!
