NOW, I do think a MONDO SIZED remote is REQUIRED on my living room recliner! As well as a kick butt SHOP SOUND SYSTEM...the JBL speakers no longer "match the decor" in the house, but they still work great out in the shop....I at times use the "sonic degreasing method", Santana works very well!!
Honestly i didnt see a good reason for the remote when we had it in a small nissan sentra but once we decided to sell the car we took out the radio to put in the mustang convertible. And we found some good use for the remote, to keep the original stock look of the mustang we left the old 60's chrome AM radio on the dash and mounted the lanzar inside the glove box and controlled it with the remote while the door was closed still keeping the original look, now that was clever!
