You might search the forums.

You can add an amp and sub to your system and still use all of the controls.

ask a stereo shop, i have had them work in the past (different vehicles, different decks, different steering wheel controls) and not work in the past. i think it depends on the know how of the shop as well as picking a deck that will be compatible. just be glad its not the bmw idrive system

If you have a Navi Unit, Good Luck. If you have just a radio, then you should be fine to use most aftermarket decks. Just ask your local install shop. Anything is possible with them.
