Steering wheel controls can be retained with an aftermarket headunit. From what I've heard, swapping to '07 isn't that easy.

How can you retain them with an aftermarket deck and is it hard?

Its just a module that you wire in and program. Not too hard I'd say takes about 1/2 hour. Just make sure that the radio you go with has the SWC option.
