Steering Wheel Control Wires

Help guys, I took a chance and bought the Boss BV9558 Double Din 7" Touchscreen (Ebay $150) Got it in, hacked the crap out of a dash install kit with my dremel, spliced the ground to the PB for video while driving, ran two RCAs for the kids portable players in the back (have plans for a fiberglass console in the near future for the screens and two kicker comp tens), but I digress; the rear of the deck has wires for the steering wheel controls and I am wondering where I hook them up? The stock radio had an extra plug in the back that I am assuming was for those controls. I dont know for sure as I didnt replace the factory radio myself, the dealership I got it from sent it to a local shop when the stock unit died after a week after I purchased the truck. It is a 2005 F250 Lariat CC. I cant find much in the way of a detailed user manual for the Boss deck and have searched this forum and scoured the internet. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

I'll be sure to post some pics in the morning and also document my console build.

You'll need to get a steering wheel control interface that's compatible with your deck, you can find these here. Pac-Audio.com Product Search | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

From what the manual says, the deck should already be compatible, it has the wires that are labeled " . . . Key" Sorry, it's in the dash now. I was under the assumption all I had to do was hook them to a harness from the column.

David, did you get a good answer to this? I also have a BOSS with the steering key wires and I'm trying to figure this out as well.
