No not without buying some aftermarket stuff to make such a thing possible. It won't work like that just out of the box.

Not sure on that one, call them up and ask if they have something to make your factory steering wheel controls work with an aftermarket head unit.

You want to use the stock knobs to control an aftermarket screen in dash. I'm thinking it would require heavy modification on your part. I highly doubt best buy would have what you need.

crutchfield.com... it's where I bought all my stuff.

I think the harness for the steering wheel set up was only $30.

EDIT: nevermind, my car is an '05. Your price will be WAY higher.

crutchfield is a rip off there mark up is higher then most audio shops, there better to use as a reference for parts and what not to pay at a local shop

Well, I got everything I needed shipped for less than $200. I shopped around and they were the best price for what I want/need.
