MP3Car.com - View Single Post - FAQ: Hacking Your Steering Wheel Buttons to Control Your PC

I'm seriously considering just sticking a tiny remote into the steering wheel and have it's tiny IR transmitter peaking out from behind the wheel and then wiring each steering wheel button to the remote buttons. Then I could mount the PC IR reciever somewhere up front in view of the transmitter and bypass the SWI-2 or X completely. Then it would work perfectly and be smooth all the time.
