For this I had to go the wreckers and get a VT Calais clockspring connector with the extra 2 wires in terminal 3 & 4 and a VT Calais clockspring because the factory clockpspring doesnt have the 3rd connector needed for steering wheel controls. The clockspring was $44 and the clock spring connector was free.
I used heat shrink crimp connectors on the horn and airbag wires and I used screw terminals for the radio control wires to enable easy removal if needed.
I bought the radio controls on eBay for $38
The radio I installed is an Erisin ES896T Erisin ES896T Detachable 3D HD Car Audio DVB-T(MPEG4) GPS TMC PIP [ES896T] - US$338.00 : erisin.com
Here is a video of them inaction: Installed Steering Wheel Controls - YouTube
This is just after I finished the last 2 connections.
Last 2 connections to the back of the radio hidden behind the drivers left foot panel.
A view from underneath the steering wheel.
My connections using heat shrink crimp connectors for the airbag and horn.
