Im sure there is more than just a wiring harness to make the factory sub and the steering wheel controls work. Im asking if anyone specifically knows what I need.

**** that helped
EDIT:

To keep the subwoofer and factory amp working you need:

Wiring Harness: Metra 70-5517

Dash kit for Single Din: Metra 99-5026

Antenna adpater: You don't need one..

Steering wheel controls: PAC SWI-X

Hopefully that helps.. oh and for that wiring harness you need 1.5K Ohm resistor to eliminate turn-on pop(put it on the remote wire)

you = teh Manz.

what cd player is it?

the SWI-X is universal and you have to mount a IR repeater eye and such, if you have a big name brand you can get a SWI JACK or similar that just plugs in the back
