If my car already has steering wheel audio control, can I get a radio installed and hooked up to it with just the car deck install service or do I have to purchase the steering audio control install service also. null

You have to purchase the steering control install, too. It's pricey but worth it in my opinion.

No, you have to purchase a separate device to maintain the steering wheel controls. Once a new radio is installed it will render the steering wheel controls useless until an extra accessory is installed.

You have to purchase the steering wheel audio control. But it's certainly worth the extra $120

I had to get a universal steering wheel remote, but it worked, volume, change songs, stations, etc

No, in order for the factory radio control buttons to work with an aftermarket radio, an adapter must be purchased ($40-80 depending on the model you need and where you buy it), and then there is an extra labor charge to have the adapter installed, which when I had it done, was $59.

Unless you have the "Maestro"installed a stock steering wheel control will not likely control a new deck. I have a 2016 Prius and it needed the extra hardware installed.

Hello, 
I would suspect you'd have to purchase an additional steering wheel controls if you're installing a new stereo. If you contacted Geek Squad they will be more than happy to assist you on which type would be beneficial to your car as well as your new stereo. Hope this helps.
