I don't see why you couldn't do it, but I'm not sure myself how it would be done.

There is one (or is it two?) wires going from the steering column to the radio. Each button you press, basically puts a specific amount of resistance on the wire.

Let's say, just for example, that when you press Mute it makes 300 ohms, and when you press Volume Up it makes 500 ohms. You just have to somehow figure out how to make a 300 ohm resistance trigger Relay A (NOS), and 500 ohms trigger Relay B (oil temp display).

If you manage to figure it out, please let us know!

The control use a 5 volt signal that changes voltage when buttons are pressed. I am sure it could be done. You would need to figure out the signal that each button produces.
