Yes, In fact, it works with the codes that were posted earlier by mcomb. I loaded my empeg up with the IR-trans kernel and codes posted. Then went searching for pioneer dealers in the area.

The remote does "work", but I really sugggest that you try it before you buy it, as it's increased freq. really doesn't make controlling easy. I knew within a few minutes of playing with it that it would end up pissing me off, so I didn't buy it.

But to answer your question. Yes, it does emit freq. that the EMPEG can see and respond to. And yes, it DOES work with the IR-trans kernel. But after having played with it, I can't see it as a good replacement, due to the fact that you end up jumping 1-3 (random) steps with every button press. That might be able to be coded out, but it doesn't appear like that will happen soon.
