The MPR-999 is here! (Universal Learning Steering Remote Control )

The illumination feature is a great. This is one feature the Pioneer remote lacks and that makes it a little hard to use in the night in city traffic.

I have booked mine too. Thanks for the info frankmehta.

One important piece of Info!
Whenever you'll get the remote, please note that there are 2 infra red modules on the remote. the top one, the clear one which is bulbous, is the one that sends out information to the head unit. and the lower big dark red module is the RECEiVER module that learns from its elder brother(the original remote :-p)
So when you make the remotes learn, make sure you point the original remote at the bottom of the steering remote, and not at the top.

I'm in for another one, if the buyer can take the hassle to ship it to me(dont mind paying extra

) . I dont have a paypal account :(

Hey guys. Just hang on a bit right now. XetaGLG might be able to get a better rate. He's waiting for the company to contact him. might work out substantially cheaper if it works out. Don't pm him yet. He'll put the link to buy it here itself. Preliminary use proves the usefullness of the backlight. Convenient and kinda bling :-) good range. Very good reach. Buttons are soft and register a good press

And thats why i want it.

or will open up the Pio SR and try and get back lit buttons. Another reason why this remote would be better then Pio SR is that you can program the LIST function onto it.

harry10 · 15th January 2009, 19:37

Nice find. How much did it cost you Frank - Price of unit and shipping?
Also is it compatible with all HU's like Pioneer,Sony, Clarion etc?

The day doesn't seem far when we will see you and Ramie anna prancing on the streets in LED underwear. Hopefully not in the same LED underwear. Atleast spare us even that thought.
