I put in a GROM-USB with Android and Bluetooth adapter.

the volume controls still work obviously as they control the head unit but u cant answer or decline calls or skip forward or back on tracks.

Which exact model was this - was it the GROM-USB2P?

I may have found a fix for this. I moved the Grom unit to the small pocket in the glove box and what do you know? No steering wheel controls. Double checked the cables and 1 of the mini din connectors MAY have been a little loose, I say may as it was only slightly off, nothing that should've affected anything.
I also reset the unit by
1. Make sure car is on with Grom unit connected.
2. Unplug the white 20 pin harness from the unit.
3. Wait 10 secs, not sure if this is necessary
4. Re connect the 20 pin harness.
5. You will notice that the HU does not recognise the Grom.
6. Switch off car and wait 10 sec. Again I'm not sure if waiting is necessary.
Then turn on again and hopefully everything should be working
I've had to reset the unit a couple of times as bluetooth started a reset loop and the above method solved it.
Give it a try, check the cables and try the reset. the steering wheel controls are very handy to answer/reject calls
