I posted this last week on the general civic section

I have been looking a while for a way to control my ipod through my steering whell without having to shell out close to 150 dollars.

I found this line of products that works great in my 2006 civic hybrid even though they do not claim to be compatible for the 2006 line.

On mine I can toggle between the first five playlists on my steering wheel and can go forward track backward track FF RR. On my head unit I can hit random and repeat. I am not able to do random within an album. Additionally it charges your ipod

You can find them on ebay going dirt cheap. I won my for under 35 including shipping. They have been discontinued but they are the same technology as the ones at Diceelectronics.

search for dension and honda r3.
