Universal Remote

[BigDan3131]

So here is my problem, from reviews I have read that unless your pointing the wireless remote at the stereo it wont work, is that true or just someones issues? I remember back when you could still get a wired remote for your head unit but they seem to have gone away unless your using a marine radio. I had planned on putting the head unit behind the seat to keep the radio delete plate in place and leaving no one the wiser about having a stereo.

Any help?
