If it is of interest, I also have an experimental USB device in a small case (sent to me by a friend in Switzerland who developed it) that allows a Beo4 or Beolink 1000 to control a PC directly, giving mouse movement/clicks and the ability to control iTunes, switch between open tabs, etc.  This plugs into the PC via a USB port, so there is no need to modify the Beo4.

If you have a MAC with an IR port (or not), there's an app called "

Hi Matador43,

I have bought the Beo4 PCBs from OneRemote in the past and I have been happy with their products, service and delivery.  My understanding is that OneRemote are the manufacturers of their own products and that Bosscom are resellers for OneRemote products.  I would recommend buying from OneRemote if you have the choice.

Kind regards, Steve.

I can only second that!

By the way, they have some new and interesting products:

Good morning guys,

Thank you all for your helpful advices. I've emailed Oneremote and they answered me right in the hour. I think I'll go with them as it suit my needs to control the Ouverture and both the Apple device and the S***** TV I manage to make up as a "Bing & Eliafsenn" Set :-)

Anyway thanks for bringing my attention to One remote. 

I'll post as soon as the pcb will be up and running.

Have a good day

Good decision.  I have just been looking at their site:  I didn't realise that their Beo4 modification will allow you to control existing B&O, plus (type specific) non-B&O TV, plus Apple TV.  A great bit of kit (if it works well) and it's actually very good value.

Are you modifying a normal Beo4 or a Beo4 NAVI? (I see that the mod works for both).  I will be very interested to hear how you get on and how well it works.

EDIT:  Although from their user manuals I can't work out if (when controlling the ATV) the Beo4 NAVI 'joystick' will replicate the touchpad of the ATV4 remote - anyone know?

I own a beo4 MK2 (DVD) in good condition and i plan to buy a second hand Beo4 MK1 (AV) to install the board as I dont want to ruin the original remote if my soldering skill are less than i presume!

Hi Matador43,

I've soldered a few of these, so if you need any help or advice, please drop me a line!

Kind regards, Steve.

Hello Matador

Try to look at this website :

http://shop.oneremote.dk/

I have bought a PCB from this webshop to my B&O4 remote, and it works perfectly.

You can also look at the website in english, and see / download the manuals as well.

Kindly Regards from Denmark

It could be worth double-checking with OneRemote that their PCBs work on these earlier versions of Beo4.

HI Lasse,

Welcome to the forum ... you need to read Page 1 of this thread to get the full background to Matador's question! 🙂

The answer i received by mail stated:

"It can be installed in any Beo4, also the new Navi version."

So I assume than it will work. I also think, but i may be wrong, the differences between MK1 and MK2 are minor and just about labelling the keys (?).

@ Steve: thank you, i'll keep your offer in mind. I can't find an installation guide on Oneremote website but i do believe it will come along the PCB order or at least i can use the one from Bosscom. You'll hear from me if it isn't the case.

As always, I'll keep you in touch.
