Aftermarket Steering mounted radio controls?

Hey guys, I have a 2001 Mazda 626 and I'm looking for a way to put stereo controls on the steering wheel. Is there any head unit or after market set that allows you to do that? I'm pretty good with electronics, so I wouldn't be worried about the install. Anything you guys can come up with would help a ton!

I know you're joking, but I actually considered it

There are a select few aftermarket headunits that have an available remote that wraps around the steering wheel with velcro strips. However I believe if you give it a year or two bluetooth will be available on all headunits along with the ability to add a steering wheel remote.
