One remote to control them all

Ok, so tell me what kind of remote are you using for your carputer and how many things can it control.

I want a remote really bad, but i dont want a bunch of remotes for different things. I want to control my PC, HU and XM from one remote (somehow i have a feeling it wont happen though).

Im thinking about getting the ATI remote wonder, i was just at there site and saw they now have the remote wonder II out or coming out, not sure whats better with v2 but i dont think you can buy it yet.

Does anyone make a RF and IR remote? That works with a pc and other stuff too?

As it is now, i have a remote for my SONY HU, that i like a lot. Another remote for my XM roady, and want one for the pc that will replace the other two.

Thanks

@Savagekabbage: lol
@ liquid_smoke, I know that there is on the web some diagrams of ir receptors and transmeters... Therefore you'll be able to use winlirc to learn your 2 or 3 remotes with it and after use a program to send signal of the second or of the third remote with the touchs of the first...

This remote should take care of the things you need.

I have an Alpine HU and a dual functions (Audio and Visual) remote control forgot the model. This remote is use for Alpine HU that has DVD or Nav control. When slide to Audio, I can control the HU. When slide to the Video, I control the carputer. The remote only has like 10 buttons but it can do most the job.
(Power, Left, Right, Up, Down, Enter, Vol up, Vol Down, Band Sel, Audio Sel, Visual/Display and Function Switch)
