So now, I have an Archos "CD > Changer" in my car... Did you succeed to do IBUS directly, or are you communicating to an external controller via RS232? If it's an external controller, I once "specified" and posted a command set and response format to issue commands to Rockbox and query information from it, using the remote pin as half-duplex RS232. The command set was done in a way that it can co-exist with the Archos remote. So this could be the basis for "intelligent remote controls", like a car stereo interface. There are several people working on similar subject, for different radio brands. It would be great if you can agree on a common command set, so only the adapter needs to be different, not the Rockbox part. My Alpine interfacing is not intelligent, because I abandoned the external microcontroller approach. The AJB has to do the interfacing, protocol and CD changer emulation in an own module, the benefit is that I don't need external hardware. But despite this, it will also be useful to have a common internal API for remote commands, I'd be just bypassing the RS232 command parser part. > PS.
