John Monnin: I'm using the PAC SWI-X and a USB infrared receiver + girder software + girder device drivers to get the job done. You can't use just any infrared receiver, as it needs to be compatible with girder. Girder takes those infrared signals and converts them into useful commands. I have a spare SERIAL infrared receiver for $15 shipped that I used on my previous carpc setup which is compatible with girder.

Wombat: I didn't see any ground loop isolators in your list, you may need those to get rid of alternator noise as this frequently becomes a problem with carpc setups.
