A quick interject, I don't know why you want wheel controls. I got mine put in for the sake of having them and I absolutely never use them.

I parrot him, I have them in my ford explorer and they just sit there. The only time I ever even notice them is when I set cruise control.

I would think there is a better chance of the firebird steering wheel fitting than the 5th gen, they didnt make much compatibility between 4th and 5th gens :/

the firebird will deff fit its the same column... really aslond as the splined shaft is the same size the 5th will work... i didnt expect anyone to be like "ya it will work ive tried it" but more hoping someone knows if it bolts up the same way i can always modify it to fit aslong as it bolts up the same...

If I find a steering wheel with radio controls, are the wires there for just a "plug and play"?

Thanks,
