The steering wheel is compatible with other brands of head units, you may require a steering wheel controller to interface between the aftermarket headunit and steering wheel.
I had a Pioneer HU working in my old car, MY11 WRX.

Haven't attempted this but I'll take a stab that it won't be possible.
There will most likely be differences between the two steering wheels, the air bag most likely won't fit the other steering wheel and it may not be possible to have the old bag interface to the newer air bag control system.
If you wanted to change the steering wheel, it may be best swapping it out for an aftermarket unit that is made to fit, i.e. DAMD, Prova, etc.

The 08 onwards actually has a keypad which is found on the flap where the fuses are found under the dash (right hand side under the steering column trim).
They dealership can enable a PIN code to start the car, however they did recommend not doing this when I had my previous cars.
