Default Adding steering wheel controls for aftermarket HU

Hi guys,

I recently finished installing an Alpine ILX-W670 headunit in my 04 350z. Love the headunit and finally having built in navigation and Android Auto. The one thing I dont care for is the lack of physical buttons. It's pretty difficult to hit the capacitive volume or mute buttons while driving without looking at the screen. My Z also didn't come with any steering wheel controls.

Is it possible to add on the stock controls and have it interface with an aftermarket head unit? Would I have to source an entire steering wheel or just the control inserts?

I'm quite handy with electrical stuff so I don't mind if custom wiring is needed to make it work.

Thanks!

It looks like this Metra ASWC 1 kit is an optional installation accessory when I set the vehicle to 06-08 350z on Cruchfield's site. Has anyone used that before?
