If I got an aftermarket radio will the controls still work on the steering wheel for volume etc.

No - you will need a separate module to use the steering wheel controls. What headunt is it and what car?

Normally need an adaptor harness to allow the steering wheel controls to work. It simply plugs into the existing wiring

Ah fair enough I have been looking at a double din pioneer which says it supports steering wheel controls so this should work
