The remote has two emmitters, 1 used for all the normal IR functions e.g. front number keys, on/off, red, yellow, green, blue keys etc and the second is used for the serial interface unit that is supplied with the controller(this carries the QWERTY info).
For my car I have fitted a second detector in the set top unit with its own 5V regulator and that detector I have connected to the printer port. I use the "ParIR" plugin for this soley to decode all commands other than the QWERTY info.
For the QWERTY data I use the "Generic Serial" plugin and configure it for 9600 baud n,8,1 and hardware handshaking, turn off the init code and timed reset check boxes also turn off the filter function.
The 9 way d-type connector supplied with the set top unit is the wrong gender so I have changed this to a female. I am very pleased with the results and have just about every key working(when I decide what to use the front number keys for!!)
