Completely replace head unit with bluetooth

[ryantrip]

Hello, I want to completely remove my head unit and just use bluetooth as a method for:

• Audio control
  
• Answering phone calls
  
• Steering wheel controls
  

I've seen SteerBlue by NAV-TV which allows me integrate a steering wheel switch adapter with my phone through bluetooth, but no where on it does it mention being able to answer phone calls? Does the pause/play functionality answer phone calls (the mode/source button used as pause play in a G35)? Are there any other techniques, parts, ideas? I'll be using a double den blank cover to mount my phone with a magnet. I will have an optional cord for charging that doesn't integrate with the audio system.

it's b/c it would have to be programmed through whatever steering wheel control unit you use.

It seems to connect as a "Clarion" to this device: Pac-Audio.com Product Details | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

The manual is here: Pac-Audio.com Product Details | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

On the table, it says you can program a send/end key.... as I understand at least. So with this and the SteerBlue, could I then program my mode or power button on my car steering wheel to answer / end phone calls? I'm not too sure because if you look here:

It shows that there is no button for answering phone calls....
