Pac-Audio has steering wheel control modules for almost every brand of stereo you can buy, as well as a module with an IR emitter for any stereo that has a remote control like wolfy explained above. Their modules only have programming for up to 5 buttons though. I currently have the SWI-ECL2 installed in my Aztek for my aftermarket stereo and it works great. Only problem is only having 5 buttons. On the site, the SWI-X is the universal module with the IR emitter. Here's a link to the pac-audio modules: http://www.pac-audio.com/Products.aspx?CategoryId=29
Not sure about the Scosche modules, but they seem to all have pictures with an IR emitter, suggesting this is how they all work. Here's a link to the Scosche modules:
http://www.scosche.com/car-audio/steering-wheel-controlsI just found this one today from axxess. Looks like it uses the 3.5mm connector that is becoming the norm. Not 100% sure if this would be installable (?) on stereos without the 3.5mm input. But it does have 18 programmable buttons.

As for the stereo harness with chime module, here is the one Scosche has and the one I have installed in mine right now:
http://www.scosche.com/car-audio/product/538They sell for a lot cheaper on ebay at times. It is completely plug and play into the vehicle harness, even providing Bose speaker plugs for stereos that also have them. It also provides a +12V accessory wire. Only issue I have with it so far is there is a faint "crackling" noise in the background whenever the little LED within the chime module flash on and off (which is like 5 times a second). It is very faint, but noticeable. Not sure if it is just my unit or an issue with this item. All in all though, a good product. It outputs the chime sound through a little speaker on its own chime module, doesn't sound "boxy" at all though, sounds like it should as a warning chime.
