Shine - you got me doing some more digging and searching (my JVC did originally come from Crutchfield) and I came up with a much lower priced way to keep my existing stereo. They don't carry this particular gadget, but at ~$25 plus postage, a lot cheaper then the ~$300 for the other alternative. It's called an IR repeater for the existing remote. Regardless, more wires under the carpet
