[Shotimes] Redundant radio control

[Carl Prochilo]

Are adapters for those buttons normally available for aftermarket HUs?  A friend of mine with a 97
Pontiac Gran Prix just got himself a new HU and lost the use of his steering wheel radio buttons. 
Not really a big deal but if they can be made to work that would be ideal.
