Thanks for the tip on the PAC IR... I knew there had to be something out there, because I've seen it done in several home theater installations where most of the equipment would literally be in another room.
As for the progress on my remote faceplate: I've figured out that it will probably be easiest to just solder directly to the connectors on the back of the faceplate as they stick out quite a bit. and I will have plenty of clearance behind where I'm going to put it.
However, the connection on the Head Unit side is quite recessed and also surrounded by a metal plate, so I've gotta take the head unit apart to get to the leads on the circuit board inside. I think at this point I'm gonna make sure it works properly before I void the warranty.
