For the big brands in car stereos it is usually possible to to obtain a harness to adapt the controls on the car to the manufacturer's inputs, saving you all that tedious mucking about working out which wire does what. Also, in many cases, some inline logic is required to adapt the signalling.

For example, here's a Sony / Vectra one: "http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-Vectra-Stalk-Steering-Control-Adaptor-Sony-/250615227263"
