That's an interesting idea. Elsewhere in the book there's brief mention of how to interface with the existing steering wheel buttons that are connected via floating contacts or clockspring electrodes, so I suppose one option would be to take over existing buttons rather than add new ones. The problem with a radio link is that most simple RF remotes won't handle multiple simultaneous presses, while the OBDuino relies on pressing multiple buttons to perform some actions.

By the way, I've now moved the OBDuinoMega branch to a repo on GitHub so that it's in a similar location to the other projects featured in the book:

Do you think that your kit could evolve in the future in something like single pcb board solution as this "basic" CAN OBDuino. Obviously with that added functionality it doesn't have to be 1 DIN frame size oriented as Frederic
is planing for his boards:

According to this french written blog,
OBDuino pcb kits should be available Q4/2009 at pricetag < $75

And with such complex project why don't you just migrate up to ARM9 level,
you then can run it on WinCE5/6, Android, Linux/Angstrom, .. , including 3,5" touchscreen or bigger

and/or alternatively there is this PAL/NTSC TV shield called TellyMate
for Arduino, which could run small LCD panel, many code samples here:

now incl. new firmware for larger/custom fonts&graphics:

hooked to 3,5" 4:3 TFT (.5W) 640(H) x 480(V) RGB car display
(sold as for CCTV camera):
