8 Device, Backlit, Learner, It sure would be nice if its JP1.x with accessible pins.

Agreed. If this guy has pins and is JP1.x... We may have a really nice remote on our hands.

Nice find jeajea.

HERE it is for $15.56 shipped. Somebody get one and find out

(or wait for Rob to check his sources and tell us).

They have pretty decent prices on lots of one-for-alls (SEARCH).

As it's an 8 device I would expect that it is JP1 compatible, but it would need a new RDF, etc.

Its 17.56 shipped, but they don't take paypal. So I can'r order one!

Its probably not a JP1.2 anyway.

Let's just say I will be very surprised if it is JP1.2.

Still - I'll take an 8-device backlit JP1.3 learner with pins for $18! Anyone gone for it yet?

Ok guys I ordered one and will let you know when it arrives should be here Wednesday or Thursday. I had also order 2 of these units to check out and they do not have a JP1 connector but has pads and is labeled JP2 so I hope the 8 device is different if not oh well I can send it back.

The word I hear is that none of the new line has JP1 connectors:

OARN03S 3 Device Remote
OARN04S 4 Device Remote
OARN05G 5 Device Remote
OARN08G 8 Device Remote

Gotta love how they just covered over the device buttons on the 5 device vs. 8:

That is silly!

Bummer about no connectors...

So why does UEI put 6 pin connectors on any of their remotes? Does for example Comcast do any custom programming or clean up of returned remotes?

I can see that the 6 pin connector is very cheap, but aside from our community, which customers derive benefit from the connector?

Do the new remotes have the holes for the connecter? I added the connecter to my old Cinema7.

If its similar to the OARG05G, it won't have the holes either.

So do we know the pads that are used and if so can we still use the JP1.3 cables or is this JP2 a whole new ball game? If we know the pinouts I will solder some wires on and see if we can talk to the unit.

Also there are now 10 pads not the normal 6 pins on the JP1x
