hey guys

Recently i begun work on a touchscreen jukebox, its fitting a theme of rustic/outback. our bar room has been rendered with rusted corrugated iron, hardwood and fence palings to give it a certain theme. now in sticking with this id like a remote for the system that suits.

recently i stumbled over salling clicker, some great software allowing itunes to be controlled via a compatible phone. i have a spare n91 im not using and am wanting to remove the contents, and relocate them in a case that suits the room. now this remote id like to be able to dock so ill be constructing a dock also.

only thing is i have no idea what to mount it in? do i make a custom wood carved remote looking remote, or something completely different?

i need help!!!!

cheers

Its hard to say without seeing any pictures.
Though you do paint a preddy good picture with words as far as the theme is concerned.

Custom wood carved remote sounds very interesting.
How about a Custom Carved remote w/Inlays?

As long as you have the correct connectors male/female lined up
. .you can make a dock out of just about anything.
