Steering wheel controls
I am trying to upgrade my steering wheel to one with radio controls. Have already replaced clock spring and and the harness that plugs to cause the connector original harness had a four wire connector and not an eight. Replaced stock radio with stock Navi system and still not able to figure out how to get the controls to work the radio. Please help

You need part # 15791220 in order to control from steering wheel.
Like this one from an earlier forum for sale thread from a 2007:

a few more Nav PNs that *should* work:
2009 - 2010: 20906715
2011 - 2013: 20856087
There may be others as well -- GM did supercede some part numbers, so those older "replaced" part numbers are no longer in their system, even though they may work.
Always double check the year of the donor car before ordering, but with all the radio swaps going on, the part number is still the best bet. If unsure, throw it up here on the forum... lots of experienced people here that can help.

I'd try your original radio... it may work with the controls. If not , you've only lost the little bit of time it takes to reinstall it. (you don't need to have the dealer program it, as it already has your car's VIN in memory)
Edit: SWC were only available on Bose in 2007-8, so GM *might* have been using the old non-SWC radios for base cars. Your PN is one that has been superseded, so its hard to say for sure either way.
