Normally this is done with 4 rocker switches but I was just going to leave out the phone controls and volume.

Good read, that makes sense!

In that case, just follow what I posted above, make sure you have the proper pin momentary switches (the link you put up earlier looks good), and you'll be good to go. Just keep in mind you'll need to use completely separate grounds for the radio signal common pin and the LED if you integrate it with the dimmer switch, as that switch will change your resistance and would mess with the radio signals if you combined them.
