Modded remote control?
(1/1)
MustardTent:
Hey All,
  I use a TV for my Cab, and I'm doing some upgrades.  Namely, I've altered the Cab for swappable CPs, a bezel, a strip of admin buttons, and a ton of new controls.

But I had a problem.  The bezel and admin buttons were blocking the IR port on the TV for the remote.  I did punch a small hole in the bezel, but then I decided that drilling a hole in my admin panel would just not look good.  And after weighing my other options, I decided to cut the IR LED off my remote and put it on the end of about 2 ft of wire.  The LED is now behind the bezel, next to the receiver on the TV.  Eventually, I'll power the remote from a power plug, and hide the remote itself.

Just wanted to know how others solved this little issue?

Oh yeah, and here's a picture of what I did (proof that I over-complicate things way too often)



MustardTent:
Bump.

Has anyone done something like this?  Or have any comments?  I'm just wary of opening up my TV and moving the power button to another location.
