Default What's needed for Aftermarket Head Unit?

Hey guys I'm looking to Upgrade my Stereo on my 2010 Box. I'm looking at a Pioneer DMH-1500NEX:

What else would I need to get to keep seeing wheel controls? I was also wondering if I could route the USB port to where the stock one is in the Center Console.
I've read threads mentioning an Axxess harness but I'm not sure.

Any tips are welcome!

You'll need a mounting kit to cover the gaps on the sides of the radio

Wiring harness to adapt over the stock plug to the Pioneer ones

For steering wheel controls you'll need either a Metra Axxess ASWC-1 or Pac SWI, I prefer the Metra unit.

And, no you cannot use the factory USB port but you can route a USB cable from the back of the radio under the center console and mount the end of it where the stock one is currently.

Thank you! I was going to try to run a USB make to female cable to the center console. Hopefully I don't have to cut anything.
