Default Steering Wheel Bluetooth Control

I have an 09 base coupe without the BT controls. I purchased the two steering wheel controls - BT and radio, and I was hoping to use the BT controls with the base radio. I call Axxess, who manufactures control interfaces for steering wheel controls, and I was told that their controls may not work, depending on whether the wiring harness is different for cars that were factory wired for BT wheel controls. So, my question is, is the same wiring harness used for both BT and non-BT equiped cars?

Yes, I know that I have to update my car image!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the cars basic wiring harnesses are the same. Your problem may be the wiring harness used for the radio system. If the radio in your car is not blue-tooth equipped it may not have the connections to accept the steering wheel blue-tooth controls.
