The empeg works with the kenwood steering-wheel (IR) remote just fine - not sure on the part code, Mike has it on his desk. It works just fine :)

I've got a sony stalk control that I've got to get round to interfacing with the empeg - I doubt we'll actually make the adaptors to plug it into the empeg's docking serial connector, but I plan to give out the circuit diagram and code for the interface (about $15 of components).
