Will I be able to use the steering wheel controls for audio and bluetooth if I have an aftermarket headunit

Pretty sure it's a big NO but meh

You could use the controls with aftermarket headunit. You would just need to buy an interface that allows you to do this. I have included a website that you select which type of headunit you have and also you car. It will show you the info on what harness you need.
