most of these new stereo's have remotes... I have a Handspring Visor ( old Palm OS PDA ) that has a universal remote program on it ( Visor has an IR ) and an automatic code finder.. push the button to find the code and it rapidly changes the code and flashes the on/off button. you just tap the screen quick when it works ( turns your device on or off ) so you will never know when the stereo is turned off, but it will be, and it will recycle on and off as the codes cycle again
