Is your car a tiptronic?

I've been thinking of trying to get a tiptronic steering wheel for my car and wiring the buttons up to the stereo to use them for the volume.

That's a great idea- would that work? Would you have to have a certain head unit that is already wired for it?

Here is the link. I found it a few months ago:

It looks pretty tough to do, though.

I was thinking that there might be a company that would sell a couple of stick-on buttons that might be able to be placed on our steering wheel. Maybe these could be put on the fingertip side of the spoke, because they will probably be too ugly for the thumb side. They could be wired to a wireless remote that could work the (aftermarket) stereo.

Anyone have any ideas here?
