Welcome to the forum.I suspect your radio is possibly TOO modern for the car. My 2009 D40 doesn't use any CANBUS function for the radio, it's all separately wired in.Even if you tried to create a module that took the steering control inputs and created CANBUS data appropriate to those inputs, the car itself doesn't understand that information and the ECU may just neglect to deal with it (or you could brick it, worst case).I think there are two possibilities for you.1) You return this stereo and get one that takes separately cabled inputs from the steering wheel control. Then you need to make sure the clock spring is passing the signal through and there is a cable in the dash that has those signals that can be plugged into or adapted into the stereo2) Look at your current stereo and see if it supports an infra-red steering wheel control, then attach an infra-red remote to the steering wheel and put the infrared pickup somewhere near it but tucked away in the dash.Hope that helps.
