Will my steering wheel remote and remote screen work with a new stereo?

I am planning to buy a new stereo for my car. The one I have been looking at is the Sony CDX GT33U

(http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_732205_langId_-1_categoryId_165474). My Renault Clio has a steering wheel control for changing the volume of the renault own stereo, it also has a remote screen above the actual stereo.



I'm wondering that if I buy this new stereo, would these two things still work (as long as I plug all the necessary cables into the right places). If not, would I have to buy new connectors as such, or would they not work at all?



Thanks!

I've just bought a Sony for my Astra which has steering wheel controls and they don't work. Apparently you need an extra cable to have these working. Take a look here:

honestly, head to crutchfield and get a nice clarion or jvc. With these u can get an adaptor to allow the steering wheel controls to still work. The big stereo brands have adapters, though for renaults I'm unsure. Honda, GM, toyota, all easily accesible. So shop around at crutchfield.com or CALL THEM and tell them your car and they'll search for one that may be able to interface with your renault.
you'd need to buy the right connectors for that to work but it can be done best bet is to check with halfords first and get them to fit it. the money spent on them doing it guarantees it will work
You need an adaptor from halfords or a local audio specialist
