They are not the same. In point of fact, there are a number of functions available on the Rio remote that are not available on the Kenwood one. This is ameliorated by Hijack's ir_translate functions, but, even still, some of the buttons on the Kenwood remote do not support press-and-hold, whereas all of the Rio remote's buttons do. (Or at least more of them do.)
