Smile Re: Steering wheel controls/using as carpc...

Cool that someone else is playing with this...I will post pictures of my system later when I get a chance

I use a 7 inch screen device, and a video cable to attach my touch pro to the car stereo...

I have wired a USB charging transformer into the video cable, so when I attach my phone it charges it as well as connecting to the stereo..

I use the AUX in for the video and audio feed from the TP and this means I can plug it in and hear music / watch youtube / use the GPS / whatever on my 7" screen.

Now for the control part that you may find interesting..

I use a Bluetooth stereo headset for Voice comand, and phone calls. If you deselect Bluetooth wireless stereo in the bluetooth setup for the headset then it will use the wired audio out for stereo music, and only put out the phone audio and use the mic for voice command on the headset.

I would assume that you could set up you deck to be the bluetooth headset, and then deselect it from being stereo music as well. This would mean that you get the use of the car deck mic for voice command, and still listen to your music on the deck though the wired connection.

I use the headset, because I find the controls on my ear more conveneint, and I also find that voice command on my headset is MUCH better than the mic on my phone, or the mic on the stereo.

cheers!=D>
