I've also been thinking about this. If you have another tablet (770, N8x0 which are cheaply available), perhaps you could use bluemaemo or vncviewer to control the N900. If you go the vncviewer route (with n900 running x11vnc server), I believe you have to issue this dbus-send command on the n900 periodically to keep the vncviewer screen from going black:
As for where to place the bluetooth remote tablet, I'm not sure. If you place it in the middle of your steering wheel, it'll get in the way of the airbag. If you place it offcenter, it will look funny and perhaps get in the way of turning the steering wheel. If you placed stickers on the tablet corresponding to the media player buttons (so that you can get tactile feedback of where you should be pressing), you could place it further away (lap, center console) and not have to divert your attention away from the road.

but its difficult and not very safe to use the n900 media player while driving.
I was wondering if there are bluetooth remote controls that can connect through bluetooth to my n900 and can be attached to my car's steering wheel.
My sennheiser bluetooth headset also has media buttons that work over bluetooth so i know it must be possible. but i can only find remotes for car radio's. are there any remotes for phones to attach to the steering wheel?
