stearing wheel interface

hey all,
I have a Kenwood HU, can't remember the exact model number, I can get it if needed.
I Also have a 2005 mazda 3 sport.
What I'm looking for is an interface to control the HU from my stearing wheel.

Anyone know where I can ge one? or who makes one?
Thanks

I think I found one from Crutchfield.
I know I'm being cheap, but does anyone know where to get it cheaper then 80 bucks?
Oh, and I don't want an infered unit.

PAC SWI-JACK is 45.00 on e-bay. Get it shipped U.S. post, not UPS.
With exchange and shipping it will come to about 75.00

Back when I bought one 3 years ago, 2 local stores wanted 120 or 130 + tax. I paid 59 US, + ship + exchange came to 85. Its not the store markup, it the distributors and importers screwing everybody because the canadian stores can't buy direct.

You've gotta make sure your deck has a wired input if you don't want to go infrared. Otherwise that's your only choice. The wired ones are usually cheaper though.

My deck is supported. KDC-x891.
I've never installed one of these before, are they a pain in the ****? I've installed alarms and starters, so I have some experience with this sorta thing.

There is a manual with detailed pin outs for factory harnesses. Plus it tells you exactly which wires you have to hook up and cut. They are easy to install, but the first time, its a little confusing programming it.
