I am going to install a single 10" sub, a couple amps, and some front components to go with my Pioneer headunit I have in the car already:

That's all fine and well,.. but while I'm at it,.. the Pioneer headunit has bluetooth capability, but it needs an adapter -- this:

I unfortunately got a base model 2008Z, so no cruise, no fancy buttons etc..

But I thought while I'll be doing the wire/install work on the stereo, isn't that a perfect time to add in bluetooth functionality, and add the steering wheel controls that the upper models have?

First question first --

1) Is it possible to get the buttons to pop on the steering wheel and have them wired up to a Pioneer headunit like I have linked above where the buttons actually control it as intended?

IE: Would volume up and down work? Would mute work?

With Bluetooth.. would the bluetooth steering wheel button work signaling the headunit?

That's about it I guess.. if there are people who have done the steering wheel controls/bluetooth with this headunit or similar units.. please send me the link(s).

IE: Incoming call, speakers announce it.. I click steering wheel answer button it picks it up -- and picks up my voice of course through the Mic I have installed in the car, and any music playing is paused/muted and the persons voice is coming out the speakers.

If it's not possible, please tell me why.


Thank you,
