I just finished installing the Empeg in my car. It works great. I have it feeding into my JVC head unit. It seems a bit quiet, I have to have it at about +5 DB overdrive to get the volume at the same level as my previous MP3 player.

My question is about the remote. I simply hate the credit card style remote. I prefer the squishy-rubber button style, like the Kenwood KCA-RC600. From looking at the remote, it appears to have almost all the correct buttons. Does anyone know if it will work with the Empeg?

Even better, is there any hack out there to allow the Empeg to learn the commands from any remote? I already have a remote for my existing head unit. When the head unit is in Empeg mode, most of the buttons on the remote don't affect it. I would like to use them to control the Empeg.

It somehow seems wrong to have 2 remotes for my car stereo.
