I'm not familiar with GTA steering wheel controls but have been doing audio as a hobby for almost 20 years. Can you post a few pictures of your problem and we can see what's going on?

Not sure of any adapter though, did the seller tell you it was from a GTA?

Re: Need help with steering wheel plug on 89

Here is some pic of the different female plugs the white one is my old one.
This plug is what allows me to unlock the radio.i tryed to exchange the heads between the two radios but the new on did not work on my old unit.
but the new unit did work or show the radios locked when i tryed both heads on it.
on the in side where these plugs go to the board the new one has four wires two go to the same spot. the board is different so im not sure i can evern hard wire it.

It appears you have a unit from another GM 88-93 model by the looks of it. They have similar radio controls that can be found in grand prix's , bonnevilles etc. You should be able to hardwire it in if you can find the pinouts from the other GM car.
