If you have a "Cube" sized PC in your car with a $20 DC to AC converter and maybe a $40 (6 minute backup) UPS this could be useful. Also works with desktop PC.
win98/ME/2000/XP.
freeware availible for Linux
also works with any IR remote control.

This guy here http://cgi6.ebay.ca/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...sort=3&rows=25 is selling them on Ebay for $6.99 each. I got one with a mic for the $6.99 price, which is a pretty damn good deal if you ask me.

Hi,
On ebay it doesn't come with full version software. It may come with a limited shareware version, but it will expire or close the program after so many remote signals are received.

come with this software:

I'll get the open source versions of remote control program, they'll work good enough for me.

When it comes to a remote of this size nothing beats MouseRemote from X10. More expensive but RF not IR!

Does this guy ever give up?

I fully reccomend this remote, I purchased it for $11 a while ago and it works GREAT, even with my 200mmx!

Got this in the mail today and it works great!

I love being able to control everything from across the room. I think this will eliminate the need for a mouse/keyboard in the car completely.
