Hello all!
I am the (soon to be) proud owner of an Empeg. I am planning to install it in my Explorer, where I also have a Pioneer DEX-P1R head unit. I was wondering if anyone has been looking into integrating Pioneers' IP-Bus with the Empeg. I thought it would very convenient to have the Empeg emulate a Pioneer changer, which would allow the use of Pioneer's standard remote for some of the more common features of the Empeg without having to juggle between two remotes.

I've been poking around the IP-Bus with a scope and it appears that Pioneer is using a serial data link to talk to their changer, but I'm not familiar with the format of data stream. I'm more used to working with RS-232, RS485/J1708. I have attached a copy of the waveforms I captured in case anyone is interested or can identify them.

If someone can identify the serial format, I am hoping I will be able to make an RS-232 adapter so I can capture the data and figure out their protocol.

Cheers,
Phil
