Stereo Upgrade Help

Let me just say I have been searching and have read a bunch of threads and I really hate asking this, I have done stereo installs on almost every car I have owned and have never had an issue but I am beyond confused on what all I need to complete a headunit install in my base 2014 gt. It just seems like there are so many different options and I'm not sure what is best. I am planning on using a Scosche radio bezel, and upgrading to a Pioneer AVHX4600BT. I have steering wheel controls that I would like to keep. I know I will need a steering wheel control adapter module and I also know I need a wiring harness for the 2014. My issue is which steering wheel control module and wiring harness do I need? Also is there anything else I need? Any help or links to specific parts would be great!

get the maestro stuff, maintains steering wheel control and everything else without needing adapters for every little thing

If I understand the maestro iDatalink kit requires extra adapters also.

idatalink MUS1 & RR is all you need; and then a compatible headunit.

Pioneer NEX models only will work with Maestro, but not with the MUS1 dash kit. Pioneer did not implement the climate control screen this year so you must use a kit that has HVAC buttons.

I got the PAC kit here http://www.crutchfield.com/p_127C2RF...r.html?tp=3486, works fine for me! For steering wheel controls you would also need this: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_541SWIR...C.html?tp=3405
