PAC makes a module to keep your steering controls with an aftermarket radio. I picked one up on ebay for $30 I think two years ago.

Just ordered front door speakers last night with the help of a crutchfield rep. Also she helped my pick out a good amp/sub combination aswell.

Heres the speakers. JBL GT6-5 5-1/4" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield.com


The sub, Rockford Fosgate P1-1X12 Punch P1 12" ported enclosed subwoofer at Crutchfield.com

Not that my review will do any good, the ones the women reccomended were discontinued. But i'll certainly post my opinion anyway. Currently i have one blown speaker and the other distorts so quickly compared to my rear speakers. Honestly though, start a chat with a crutchfield rep, they are amazing. They'll reccomend speakers based on what they know is good and bad and what kind of music you listen to and so on. Same with the sub and amp, women asked "do you want a sub to add bottom end to your music, or to annoy the neighbors" Very good customer service
