Default Steering replacement specific question

Looking to purchase a replacement factory steering wheel.

I have a 2013 grand sport with automatic paddle shifters and radio controls. The steering wheel that I’m purchasing looks to have automatic paddle shifters, but no radio controls.

can I move my radio controls over to the replacement steering wheel with no issues?

also, since I have you, if I purchase an aftermarket radio in the future, can I add the Bluetooth phone function controls to the steering wheel?

You should be able to move the steering wheel controls and associated wiring to the new steering wheel. If you buy an aftermarket radio in the future, your steering wheel controls will work with the aftermarket radio assuming you buy an interface capable of doing so. The most commonly used interface on this forum is the PAC RP5-GM11 https://www.crutchfield.com/p_541RP5...2d3eae5255732d There’re other ones that’ll work depending on the features of the aftermarket radio you choose, but the RP5-GM11 pretty much covers everything you could need. When it comes to a new radio, I always say, don’t cheap out, buy a quality name system i.e. Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, Sony etc. We can also give you some tips and tricks on wiring things up on the interface. Here’re the installations instructions for the PAC if you’re interested in reading them. https://pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/Im...541RP5GM11.PDF Keep in mind this interface is made to work on various different vehicles, so not all the connections will be utilized with the Corvettes.
