With so many yokes getting replaced for peeling, plus people swapping them out to get the center horn, there are a lot of super cheap ones available used. Has anyone else ever used one of these for touch buttons for another project? I just got one from eBay to see if I can disassemble it and install the touch buttons and wheels on my rally car. From a quick check of the Model S wiring diagram, it looks like it just needs power, ground, and a LIN wire. That works nicely for me since my quick release has two contacts for wires in addition to ground. It seems like it should be fairly easy to make a little circuit to convert the LIN signals to mimic CAN signals from some vehicle that my Haltech ECU supports.

Anyone ever use yoke touch buttons for another project

Sure, but it's basically free used right now and should be an easy way to add ~20 functions to the steering wheel. An interface circuit will be pretty cheap, even if I get a custom PCB made for it.
