foam + fiber seems to be definitely the right solution but i'll give it a try to make an hybrid with wooden part and plexi.

About the i-bus here is the thoughts i had about it :
After observing how it works i saw that buttons are sending always the same patterns.
If we imagine that the software is able to react to external patterns inputs in relation with i-bus, we can drive anything.
Buttons can be reassigned on the fly and depending where we are in the software.

In example : let's take the + / - vol buttons. They can easy be assigned to be used to jump from one track to another or play with bass or treble controls or to select source or to do anything else like clim control (those stock buttons are in too low position and often i open the cup holder when manipulating those buttons).

It could seem confusing but it isn't just because we have screen which displays and probably a voice synthesis (mine has one) to confirm selected item or menu or action to complete the overall work with buttons.

In the end this has at least the benefit to keep the screen clean from fingers crap (do we still need expensive touch screen device ?) and it also avoids using additionnal buttons or infra red remote.
