You could certainly wire it up to the dashboard, steering column, or center console easily enough, with either the Impreza module (has nice buttons with backlit symbols), or by just getting a couple of momentary push-botton switches and a few resistors and making the circuit yourself. I've got all of the info.

I was talking about aftermarket ones that strap/screw into your steering wheel. I know I've seen boost controllers that go on your steering wheel for toher cars, I'm almost certain there are kits on crutchfield that hook up to your stock radio, and I don't think the clock spring is used at all. I'm going to try to look it up.

(I think some of these are duplicates at different prices)
It would be nice if we had an IR receiver on our headunit, I wonder if we can add one.

I really like the stalk model since it doesn't go on the steering wheel itself. May have to pick that up and do a DIY on it.
