After saying the one I bought is good quality it has developed a broken connection on one channel and I had to get it replaced.

I'm not having any "double pause" issues. My main problem is the code I used to inject the button press seems to be waiting for the drives to spin up. You seemed to mention this problem earlier - how did you get around it? It's really starting to annoy me.

I'm now trying to figure out how I'm going to remotely display the empegs VFD. I found this post where Hugo seemed to think extending the cable wouldn't be a problem. I think extending the display is my best option with the empeg in the glovebox. It means I keep all the button functions too.
