Control WM5 Device with an IR Remote

[skyntara]

I've searched and searched but haven't managed to turn up a program that allows my Prophet to receive Infra-Red and perform actions.

I mainly want to use it while my Prophet is mounted in my car. I have a small infra-red remote that i would like to use to select tracks and start apps etc - possibly even answer calls etc.

All I can find is apps to turn a WM5 device *into* a remote. I just want it to be a receiver.

Anyone know of such an app - surely one exists.

Dear Skyntara,
I use a bluetooth keyboard for the functions you mention whilst driving. There are various kinds and types but one can be programmed for different functions according to the required applications. The advantage of bluetooth is that the IR port doesn't need to be pointed towards the remote control.. I do not know of any applications that execute functions depending on the buttons pressed.

do you use any software in particular for macros or executing commands?
