If there was a 3rd party interface, say with an RF strap on remote, that would be cool. (Hmmm. maybe I see a new project.)

Only catch is the standard escape wheel doesn't have the controls on it either. There is a poster over on escape-central.com that has been looking for a solution forever. He had hoped to be able to use an Explorer steering wheel with the controls but the wheels mounted differently. I asked him about cannibalizing the controls but he seemed to think there was no way to mount them to the escape wheel either. I'll see if I can dig up the thread...
