Does this work with the XM on my 2007 Chevy 2500HD crew cab ALSO, with the proper wire kit, will it work with Steering Wheel Controls?

No it will not work with XM unless you use the phone ap and then it will only work if you have signal on your phone! This is why I went with the Kenwood 711HD because it has connectivity through an XM Antenna, also the GPS is a Garmin GPS that uses an antenna. Over all I would not recommend any Pioneer because of the ap base GPS and XM Radio. If you purchase the Kenwood it will have Ap's plus Antenna connects for the important options. The wiring harness will convert the Steering Wheel Controls on either systems!

The XM radio and steering wheel connection will most likely be Chevy specific. To squash any questions I emailed the customer service section at Enfig Car Stereo, (a reputable wiring harness and in dash install kit manufacturer), and requested a list of all necessary parts for a plug and play install. No wire cutting, just adding adapters. I'm sure there are other vendors that may be available through Amazon. I found Enfig while searching YouTube for DIY videos specific to my vehicle, (2013 Passat S).

The same unit works with many cars. This unit comes with cables to work with many 2007 and newer GM cars. XM, HD, or Nav is not required but you can look at www.pac-audio.com for the list of supported cars.

Noo..a steering system with volume and channel buttons etc..is like an external remote control. This radio cannot be connected to a wired remote.

I have an 05 gx, if there isn't a sat button in the car, the aux cable part works great as well as the iPod part, but the xm part does not work for me, and iv used the xm part and and the one you get with the isimple kit, neither worked

The harness I used did not have spare wires for those controls. My Jeep does not have steering wheel controls for the radio functions. The only wire in the Metra harness I did not use was for a power antenna.

The disc changer and steering wheel controls work, for volume and changing songs. I don't know about XM; the 2004 I have doesn't have satellite radio. But I believe it will work because there are varied settings on the device that is connected to the radio. I would suggest calling customer support at Gateway, they're pretty responsive.

In order for any aftermarket radio to work with steering wheel controls you have to use an integration kit. You lose all functions of it as soon as you take your factory radio out.

I have a 2014 with stock radio. I installed this with no additional wiring. The steering wheel controls worked also, complete plug and play.

I don't believe it will. I installed mine in a yukon xl and it doesn't show. I don't think a different vehicle will change that - it's the way it's installed - over-riding the xm that makes it not work. I really like it otherwise... easy to install and super simple to use.

Yes but you'll have to buy another harness for your steering wheel controls to work. Do yourself a favor, if you're not electronically intelligent, take the unit to best buy and pay the 95$ installation costs. I made my own harness and the install took me about 8 hours including time to figure out wiring diagrams. Also, FYI the radio is horrible and I have yet to figure out how to make the backup camera automatically come on. I have to hit the aux button every time.

You're going to need to order "Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface". Works great.

Should not need any wiring. You will need the install kit. As far as the steering controls I don't know about that

I bought the Metra steering wheel control unit so the two would be more compatible but you can still use the OEM steering wheel control with little to no issues (depends on your installer).

If you want to use your factory steering wheel controls with this stereo, in addition to the radio replacement wiring harness you will also need a steering wheel control interface. This will allow you to retain the factory steering wheel controls when replacing the factory radio. Car Amps Online

It works fine with the Steering wheel controls. I have a FJ cruiser and my sub Wolfer is not working with it. Not sure if it was in installation or stereo does not support it.

No. My truck doesnt have steering wheel controls and bluetooth works fine without it. I cannot speak to any detail about steering wheel controls or connections.

you will need an adapter like the Metra ASWC to retain steering wheel controls. To retain SYNC functions, you will need the Metra XSVI 5520 harness
