Steering Wheel Mounted Radio Controls

Are there any steering wheel mounted radio controls available for the 7th gen. Civic, OEM or 3rd party? Has anyone installed one?

What I did once, if your HU came equipped with a remote control, do this. Go out and buy steering wheel controls. If you take apart your remote, solder in the right value of resistors so you can hook it up to a 12v source.. relocate the eye of the remote by the HU so the signal can get from the eye to the HU, and connect the controls to the approriate control on the remote. It was a PITA, but the results were worth it.

Nice idea but doesn't look like any of those will work on a 7th gen Civic

If you're looking at replacing your HU, some of them come with steering wheel mounted remotes. Personally, I wouldn't waste the money on a stock HU to do it.
