Stereo remote question, What are my options? Options

[pepsiman]

I have a pioneer head unit and it came with a remote. I cannot keep it in one place so i was thinkning about mounting it in someway somewhere. I am open to any ideas but i was thinking about putting it under the ash tray since i dont use it. I was going to cut a square hole in the plastic top part of the ash tray and mount the remote under the plastice with the buttons sticking through the hole. There is a couple questions i have about this, the main one being that it cant get signal to the head unit from in the ash tray so is there a way to take off the thing that sends signals from the remote and mount it somewhere where it could send a signal. I was thinking of putting this under the armrest but can i simply take the thing out of the remote and run wires from where it was at to its new loctaion? I hope all this makes sense I thought it was a good idea but i am open to any suggestions about what to do and i would love to take the stock steering wheel remote from a car equiped with them but the thing to make it work seemed alittle pricey. (if this has been done just point me to the topic)

Pioneer actually has steering wheel mounted remotes. Since its Pioneer Im sure you can get one of those and it will control your head unit.



I have 1 and it came with a bracket to mount to the curve of my steering wheel... looks and works pretty well

Here is a link to it on Amazon, Im sure u can find it cheaper on ebay.
