Good point. Very good point. wouild it seem logical that someone
wants to control their car stereo from outside the car ? that would
make infrared a bad choice. And you know they have those
competitions. I mean they load the car up with 8 kW of power and more
woofers than a Genesis concert, but might still hook to the factory
head umit for the source.

You know, "BOOM MUFUKAS BOOM MUFUKAS BOOM MUFUKAS".

Anyway, I think it very possible it is RF for that reason. Like the
alar thing or remote start. Infrared would not be the best choice for
them either.

Which brings us to finding an RF universal remote. Good luck.

The remote clearly has a LED on the end, and the LED does not show visable light
when operated. So I'm pretty sure it's IR
