Pic of the Dell IR Remote

I just purchased a new computer and I got the Dell IR Remote. Is this an expresscard remote? Can someone post a pic of it so I can see what it looks like? They don't have a pic on the website. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, my post is of the remote that comes with XPS 1330 but I kinda thought it'd be same for inspirons. I guess I was wrong.

 

how much did ur laptop cost u ? =( american? or canadian

 

Yours is right, I was mistaken for the BlueTooth remote

 

So which pic is of the IR remote? Zetto's or liquidplasma?

 

what bluetooth remote?

 

ZETTOs is the right pic, hosted on techiscool.com << great site TY tech

Ahh, cool. Nifty gadget if you don't have a standard IR remote. My cell phone actually has a couple of little remote control programs which work via BT connection with the computer. It's better than nothing, I guess

 

So that means the new inspirons have an IR port? Does it only work with the remote, or can you use it with other devices like cellphones or PDAs

 

cool, thank you very much!

 

$1405 w/ taxes

 

liquidplasma6, that is the bluetooth remote from interlink. is this the dell IR remote.

 

yes it is.. and the inspirons have IR

 

and just how good does that remote work

 

Will this Dell IR Travel Remote work with an Inspiron e1505? Thanks.

 

According to Dell website :

This product is compatible with the following systems:
Inspiron 1420
Inspiron 1521
Inspiron 1720
Inspiron 1721

 

It doesn't work with the E1505. I tried it while I had mine here.

 

With which application this remote control can work? Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player, Winamp ??? Or only with Dell Media app?

 

the remote isn't compatible with the vostros?

I ordered my vostro with a travel remote.

 

And xps 1330

 

Can I use the m1330 as a big universal remote to control stuff like my TV since the m1330 has IR.

If so does any one have any software to do this?

 

As a word to the wise, be wary when you order this - the wrong picture came up in the configurator for me. I selected the Media Center Remote, but the picture was for the IR Travel remote! The place where it said "IR Travel Remote" had no picture associated. I asked the rep I spoke with, and we decided that the Media Center Remote must be the one that fits into the card slot.

Oops. So, I get this huge honking remote, not at all like the picture. It cost me 1.5 hrs on the phone, but I got them to send me the right remote for free, plus a refund of the difference. They didn't want to bother with an exchange, so I'm keeping the largely useless other remote, too.

Long story short: don't trust the pictures on the configuration tool to be accurate.

Note: last I checked, NO pictures were associated with the "Remotes and TV Tuner" tab on the configurator anymore.

 

No you can not.

 

Please don't confuse people, with the BT remote especially,

This is the IR one:

It's already been explained that the original picture was for a BT remote, and not the IR remote.

 

XPS 1330 doesn't seem to react to either my phone IRDA or my HP Capshare IRDA. Seems the IRDA is for remote only. I would wonder how to activate it. Some people say this option should be in BIOS to enable IRDA or disable it, but I don't see there. I guess donge is tthe only option left. I have always been fan of IRDA, using since 1990s, it is reliable if connection in sight and also because it is secure.

- polo -

 

I was wondering too, It does seem it's for the remote only since there's no IRDA adapter in the device manager
