Answer
Hi,

In order to use your factory steering wheel controls with an after-market head unit, you'll need a 3rd-party adapter module.  I can tell you the module that we'd use in the US, but I can't tell you whether it's available in your area.

The largest manufacturer of steering wheel control adapters for the US market is Pacific Audio Corp, known as PAC.  There are two possible adapters that might work for your vehicle and head unit.

If the JVC head unit has a port on the back for use with a wired remote control, then the PAC adapter you'd need would be the SWI-JACK.  If there's no remote control port, then you'd need the SWI-X adapter; and you'd also need to have a JVC wireless remote control available for programming the adapter module.  The SWI-X will work with just about any head unit that includes a wireless remote; but the SWI-JACK is a more reliable option if your deck has the rear remote port.

Hope this helps!
