I am considering moving my F700BT from my 2008 VW Passat to my 2004 Chevy Suburban. The Suburban is the "LT" model with the Bose/XM/Onstar/etc with all the bells & whistles.

 

I want to make sure that I will still be able to use the steering wheel controls. I have a PAC SWI-PS unit in the VW, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the Suburban. So how do I maintain steering wheel controls with my AVIC in the Chevy?

 

I am also aware of the Metra VT-GMOS-04, which appears to be necessary to maintain a lot of the GM radio functions including the warning chimes and Onstar ... it's just not clear if that buys me anything with respect to the steering wheel controls.

 

Thanks!

More research, answered my own question. Despite info to the contrary from a couple of sites (including Crutchfield, who is always on top of this stuff), PAC has instructions for how to use the SWI-PS in this vehicle.
