Title: Ir-mod From Divineo
Post by: shygrouch on February 09, 2006, 12:09:00 AM

I just installed the IR-Mod. I've been able to power up the xbox, and shut it down with the remote (i've tried both the MS remote and a universal remote, both work the same). What I'm not clear on is if this mod replaces the need for the MS DVD dongle. I was hoping I wouldn't need it anymore, but apparently I can't navigate thru XBMC without it. Are the power-on/shut-down signals all this mod is good for? Thanks in advance

Features:
1. Blue status led
2. Compatible with any chip
3. Enable/Disable chip upon boot.
4. Easy to use programming software
5. Learning functionality allows virtually any remote control to be used
6. User programmable buttons for all functions, such as wich button turns on the xbox or turns it off
7. Safety Off makes sure you press the 'OFF' button 3 times before turning off the xbox to prevent unintended xbox shutdown
8. Turn ON and OFF the XBOX with the XBOX Dvd remote control, and any RCA DVD compatible remote (and there are hundreds of these)
9. Perfect-Press - The length of emulated press of front panel 'Power' button can be finely tuned to work with any chips' needs (ie. long press is 100msec - mod on, short press is 10msec - mod off)

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not clear about some of those features. Some almost sound like they're not referring to the IR-Mod.

Blue status LED? was the IR-Mod supposed to come with one? all I got was the chip and the receiver.

Easy to use programming software? does that mean I can program the chip? and if so, where can I get the software or go about programming it?

User programmable buttons for all functions, such as which button turns on/off the xbox? I'd like to just press the 'power' button on the remote to do that instead of pressing 'stop, stop, stop, select.' My remote is a learning remote but how can I make it learn 'stop stop stop select'. It'd stop learning after the first 'stop.'

Are there any tutorials/guides to using/programming the chip? aside from the install and default button sequences guides.

It doesn't replace the DVD dongle.

thanks SICKdimension. now all those features listed got me curious, are they for a different IR-Mod?

Ya, they look like the specs for the X3IR.
