hello all. just wanted to see if anyone is wanting to sell an extra rio remote. i just lost mine as of today and its the only remote i really feel comfortable using cuz it basically rules.

anyway, if anyone happens to have a RIO remote that they arent using, please post here and hopefully we can do business.

i dont use mine now that i installed a Pacific Accessory Corporation SWI-X. I'd let it go for 50 USD

wow! thats a lot of dough, you could just get the generic kenwood one and paint over it

They are not the same. In point of fact, there are a number of functions available on the Rio remote that are not available on the Kenwood one. This is ameliorated by Hijack's ir_translate functions, but, even still, some of the buttons on the Kenwood remote do not support press-and-hold, whereas all of the Rio remote's buttons do. (Or at least more of them do.)

that's true.. i guess i was wrong. It is worth $50, maybe more.

Any one every looked in to the cost involved in getting a run of these done, or a remote based on these as they are a bit poo.

I guess you could just buy a batch of remotes simular to these and get new button guides made.
