HACKING THE RADIO CONTROLS IN YOUR steering WHEEL

[Gabe Graham] sent us this step by step process of building a dock for his Zune as well as hacking is steering wheel controls to work with it. like many of us, he was not happy with the performance of those bit radio transmitters that hook to your mp3 player. He remedied the circumstance by installing a dock for his Zune onto the console as well as patching into his stereo. The noise high quality was great, however controlling it was a pain.

He had one button left on his steering wheel that was not needed for anything.  He produced a custom controller for the Zune that would problem different commands based on exactly how long he held the button on the steering wheel. If the button was held for less than half a second, it would avoid tracks, any type of longer as well as it would pause. though he might potentially clean up the look of the LED sticking out of the console, the over all impact is rather well done.
