Pat, you can turn your remote into a wired remote. Pop open your remote and locate the led transmitter thing that looks like a tiny lightbulb. Clip it off the circuit board. Solder long wire onto the board where the led was. Then solder the led to the end of the wire. Now just epoxy the led somewhere in front of the stereo where it is going to transmit to the reciever. I did it with 2 remotes and it works like a gem.
Andrew, I want to keep it wireless. I have a Malibu and the deck is in the arm rest so the deck is hidden from the infared. I need to effectively extend the IR target on the deck to somewhere on the dash. Pat
