why not use the button that comes through the cluster already? and replace it for a rotary encoder with push button. then you can cut costs by reusing the original housing and navigate GUI through the cluster plus have a use for the hole in the cluster. much simpler then integrating into steering controls although the original already uses steering controls. if you use the existing "retrofit" housing prototyping will go faster then designing a whole new cluster housing.... you can save that for version 2.
Creating a Google Docs for steering wheel parameters. Much work still ahead

As MixManSC says "From a legal point of view, as far as I am aware as long as the replacement cluster displays and tracks mileage correct there is no legal issue with replacing it."
FYI this ebay seller seems to have dealt with the legal issues, perhaps this is the way...

Here is something someone shared with me for H2 hummers. Figured I would share with everyone here

similar ones have popped up on the forum a few times. but usually not too much detail about them or what actually can interface with the H2. like steering controls and such or Bose interfacing.

A guy on Facebook sent me the link. He's had it in his H2 going on 3 years. I'll ask him about steering controls and audio interfacing.

Typically on Android based car stereos (which that huge screen one is) they interface like any other car stereo in a modern vehicle. In other words they will not directly work well - you still want to get a stereo interface and steering wheel interface if you want it to integrate with the factory amplifier, retain vehicle chimes, and have working steering wheel controls. They do have a steering wheel controls input as far as I know but you still need a vehicle specific interface to connect between. You could bypass the factory amp but that is complicated and a lot of work as all of the speaker wires terminate at the amp under the center console.
