I have an idea of using a mac mini of course to be my in car computer. However my car has steering wheel controls and I'd like to at least some how wire the seek buttons so I can change tracks in iTunes or something. This sounds very tricky but I'd like to hear idea's.

It's a 2000 GMC Jimmy SLT with the standard Delco radio but with Bose speakers. It has a Aux button, but not external tape deck using it.

My idea to possibly get this to work is take a spare apple aluminum keyboard and relay the F7 and F9 keys to the switch somehow, but I don't think that would work because those keys are part of the keyboard circuit board....

I may use a spare iBook G3 white I have laying around instead of a mac mini since that's one less thing to buy.

So, what do you all think? ;D
