Won't need a remote. I'm going to run the whole car off my tablet and my phone. My tablet can store hours a music and has a built in touchscreen with navigation and doesn't take up nearly the room of a traditional stereo plus I have the advantage of being able to take the whole entertainment center with me when I get out of the car and take the temptation away from the guy wanting to break into my car for my thousand dollar head unit. I'm also going to incorperate the cars ignition into my phone via Bluetooth so the only person able to start my car will be the person with the enable app on their phone.
