zaskar new poster Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 29 Loc: Toronto, Ontario	I did a search but the remotes I found were from awhile back and am not sure if there are some new ones that work with the empeg. I'm looking for a ir remote for the steering wheel let me know which ones work these days.

zaskar new poster Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 29 Loc: Toronto, Ontario	I know about the Kenwood and Pioneer but was wondering if there are some newer IR remotes that mount on the steering wheel that will work.

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	I found the only real time when this was a problem was cornering on the big Carousel at the Nurburgring at about 90mph with the steering wheel cranked waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy over to the left _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

That was my experience with a small kenwood IR remote. This was in a 99 USDM Honda Civic. Pretty small car, but I couldnt get the empeg to see the IR frequently enough. I got frustrated and just removed the thing.

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	Perhaps, but the Blaupunkt remotes don't work with the empeg. My impression is that they probably don't work with anything but Blaupunkt stereos, but I could be wrong in that assumption. _________________________ Bitt Faulk
