BRZ Custom Remote Audio Controls

Just finished making and installing a set of remote switches for controlling various functions of the stock BRZ headunit:



I really wanted steering wheel controls, but after weighing all of my options, this seemed like the best compromise. The case and buttons are 3-D printed and painted Satin Nickel. Icons were created in Illustrator, printed on waterslide decals and then covered with an acrylic clear coat. Circuit board was just a piece of protoboard that I cut out in the shape of the controller and installed the switches and various resistors on. The connector is a repurposed computer power connector. If there's any other clarification needed or questions, ask away!

Huge thanks to @nalc and others who posted up their findings with the stock head unit, pinouts and resistor values.
