Aftermarket Deck install help?

I'm not that great with audio equipment... I'm sure this has been asked before and I did do a search but didn't seem to find exactly what i was looking for... Here are my questions...

- I have a JVC EXAD touch screen deck I would like to use in my Cobalt to replace the stock deck. This link shows the exact deck and its specs - http://www.idealav.com/item.aspx?eid=1&pid=93346

- Will I still have my steering wheel controls if I install this deck with an installation kit?

- Can I use my IPOD with this deck?

- Where can I find a good installation kit (harness and faceplate)?

Thanks ahead for the help!

- Can I use my IPOD with this deck?-----Always, but it wouldn't sound the best. You would have to buy something like a FM Molulator, since it doesn't have a AUX input.

- Where can I find a good installation kit (harness and faceplate)?-----Crutchfield? Ebay?

Thanks ahead for the help!

Thanks for the info. I honestly coulda swore the deck had an aux input on it. I'm going to have to check out the deck for sure tonight. It's been in my Cavalier for the past year and now that i'm only using the Cavy for racing/shows I'd rather put the good deck in the Cobalt if it will work. I don't use my steering wheel controls all that much other than volume so i guess I could deal with not having those. However if I can't use the IPOD i'd probably just go buy a new deck that is IPOD ready with an aux in.

I still have all the original boxing and paperwork, i'll have to take a look when I get home tonight to see if it's the 500 or the 550. I honestly can't remember...
