    Kinda update and questions....... Firstly i took off a switch and - well that was confusing.... It has a part that links two pins, then when you press the switch down it connects a different pair of pins whilst also having an arm that moves sideways to connect something else.....

    Interfacing different remote control systems...

    How about.. 1. I tape down (somehow) the buttons 2. I break the track from battery to the switch(s) 3. I use the opto coupler thing to re-make the track and hence turn on the switch this is not an ideal answer for me but will it work? Obviously the best solution would be a way without the...

    Interfacing different remote control systems...

    UPDATE!! News not good... not all bad but not good. Anyway - I made up the circuit first. before soldering to any part of the remote i thought i would use it to turn on a simple LED. I connected up an led accross a 12V supply to ensure it worked. i then used the 'Optocoupler' to turn it on...

    Interfacing different remote control systems...

    Well thanks for all your help - i have sourced the parts from RS (i hope).. Am going to try and make it this week. Will keep you informed. As for antennas - SIMPLE really compared to this black magic. Normally cut a piece of metal to a half wave - which is 150000/freq in MHz - then stick some...
