Any aftermarket HU that works directly with the steering wheel controls?

[aydos]

I already checked many posts including the sticky FAQ.
I could not find out if there exists an aftermarket HU that works directly with the VX steering wheel controls and does not require an interface like The CAT?
Is that possible?

[daron]

yes there is
2 models of the vdo decks can do it
not a fan of them they really work well but just plain ugly

sorry to bring up an old post but I am struggling to find some info on this Cat device I have heard people talk about. Is this product able to be installed by anyone or is there a bit more involved? anyone done one before? I found one on ebay and wouldnt mind giving it a try: CAT09 Multipurpose Steering Wheel Interface Holden Ford - eBay Other Car Audio, Video, Audio, Video, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats.

Some Clarion head units suggest they come with:
"OEM steering wheel remote"

I wonder if that means the signal from the steering wheel can connect directly to the stereo?

Can anyone confirm if this is the case? (ie. Holden steering wheel controls are OEM? - W.T.F. is OEM?)

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer

I was going to buy one but i found that is cheaper to use the remote.
