Default wiring harness...

as far as interior stuff goes. I want to get a new radio. my car doesn't have steering wheel radio controls but I can get that wheel. wondering if the wires for the radio are already in my wheel/column?

What year is yours?

Mine is an '05 and the clock spring only had wires for basically the horn. I had to get a newer clock spring, then run my own wiring beyond that to make the steering wheel controls work

It's doable though.

Will need to add the needed wires from the new steering wheel to the radio.

Newer clock spring will get you wires from the steering whee buttonsl to further down the steering column. After that you're on your own. It's like 2 wires so not exactly rocket science
