Easy answer to this question.. you cant hook them up... I have a VS Senator with the steering wheel controls... Factory head unit was taken out and a Kenwood CD/MP3 deck was installed... No more steering wheel controls

There is a way to get it working. It involves pulling apart the remote control and wiring it up to the steering wheel remote and then drilling a hole in the back of the steering wheel and having the sensor facing the cd player. I've seen some custom installs where this is done.
