I think you need to buy the right adaptor for your head unit and steering wheel controls.

Have a look here:

The steering wheel controls work by using different resistance values. All manufacturers of the stereos don't use the same values, hence the need for a head unit manufacturer specific unit. For those units not listed there is a manufacturer that does a programmable adapter.

Of course you can try and see how you get on, I believe Subaru use Kenwood for the standard headunit although it's rebranded.
