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

I'm gonna wait to see what Iceman is working on, but I did pick up an extra steering wheel. I also found that the $50 X10 Radio Frequency mouse remote control device will work. The RF reciever plugs into the PS2 port. The big remote is for seldom use. I can then pick up a tiny slim RF remote for $20 which has 10 buttons on it. I can mount it inside the wheel.

With the RF device the steering wheel angle, sunlight and reciever location becomes moot. It should always work.

I guess this will be a backup plan.
