Hey fellow enthusiests.. got a question for ya.. i have a kenwood rc-r0805 remote laying around and i just purchased the mx500 for 65 bucks. now from what i understand to get the most out of the mx500 i should look into a rs or all in one remote that is jp1 enabled.. Im tryin to keep my costs down, so Im wondering if I could use the kenwood and still do all the things the others can do.. I found a site that confirms this remote is jp1. any info would be appreciated..

Yes, the kenwood rc-r0805 is a JP1 remote.

thx for the info.. I was able to confirm that but do you know if i can do all the things with this remote as with the RS or allinone.. Seems like they are better supported.. if it saves me headaches ill just buy one of the others.. thx again..

There is very little support for this remote here. I have one myself but haven't had the chance to decode it much.

If all you want to do is use it teach discrete commands to your MX-500, the Kenwood will be just fine. If you want a remote that can do everything your MX-500 can and more (except for an LCD for labelling button) at a fraction of the price, you'll want to get something else.
