OK, I've been to several big box electronics retailers and scoured the web. I've been in search of a new cd/mp3 player for my 96 Infiniti I-30. My requirements are that the unit have built in HD radio, bluetooth and slot load CD (no cumbersome "behind the faceplace" cd routine) and that the unit have a wireless steering wheel mountable remote.
I've managed to find a unit that fits the bill nearly perfectly (The DUAL 6425) with the major exception that the remote is not designed to attach to the steering wheel.
So I set off in search for a "universal" or learning remote that fits on the steering wheel. No such luck.
I am aware of a device that will interface to allow you to use your factory installed steering wheel controls with certain after market radios (Dual has a model that supports this device). However, the catch there is that my Infiniti does not have factory installed steering wheel audio controls.
For anyone interested, here are a few examples of steering wheel mounted remotes (but they only work with a limited selection of their respective company's head units):
AudioVox Remote :
Pioneer Remote
Blaupunkt RC-10
Jenson
VDO/Dayton
