Steering wheel radio controls

I know I'm going to miss this feature of my current car, any way to adapt something like this for the FRS/BRZ in the aftermarket ?

I dont think youll find an elegant way of mounting one, let along having it work with the stock radio. Pretty much all aftermarket radios come with a remote. Pioneer has a steering wheel mount remote that works with their headunits too.

You could use something like THIS if Apple decide to make it. Looks kinda crappy to me though.

Back during CES, they had BRZ with a bunch of AV controls on the steering wheel to control the headunit. Wonder what happened to that...

Has anyone tried using a WRX/STI or some other Subaru steering wheel with audio controls?

Check it here. Seems like the works been done already. Subie owners have a plug and play product compatible, not sure about the fr-s.
