Controlling an iPod through the stock steering wheel buttons??
Sorry, this is not an answer, but may help:
I am trying to do something vaguely similar. I have a 2001 Frontier SE, in which I swapped out the stock stereo for a SONY XT-330. I play my iPod through the AUX port.
With the swap, the steering wheel audio controls do nothing, of course, so I've been wondering if/how I can join the (now unused) stereo ends of the steering wheel audio control wires to an iPod input cable, thus controlling some of the iPod functions like play, pause, FF, skip, etc., directly from the steering wheel.
Here's a link to a wiring diagram for the steering wheel audio controls on a Murano, who knows if they're the same on a Frontier or not:

I've seen some posts about wiring an iPod into a stereo in such a way that the stereo buttons control the iPod. No bad, but I'd like to put the steering wheel buttons to work if I can.
I may wire the steering wheel buttons to my missile lancher, machine gun, and force field controls (all manual, at the moment) if I can't figure out how to get the iPod wired in.
