Steering wheel control upgrade

I would like to add the steering wheel controls for my radio to the steering wheel. I have the base radio with just am/fm cd and aux. My steering heel has a blank plug where the radio control would be. If I purchase a steering wheel with the radio control, is it plug and play for the radio? Do I have to change a harness? Is mybradio capable of having the steering wheel buttons control the radio? Do I need to upgrade the radio for the buttons without changing the harness? Any information is greatly appreciated.

I got something similar figured out. I have it all written up here for the next poor schlub:
