Hope everyone had a great weekend. Me? Good. For those of you who went and got the Home A/V Pack or the Zune Wireless Remote and have an Xbox 360, here's a back door tip/trick. I actually learned this the other day from two of my buddies from the Zune team: Damon and Jeremy (what's up guys!). Check the video I made - thanks Jeremy for the camera work.

High-five If you can read this, can you drop a comment? I'm testing something. . . .

One thing, you have to make sure you set your settings on the Xbox 360 to accept other remotes. Give it a try!

Nice!

Maybe a silly question then, but does the 360 Universal Media Remote work with the Zune then?  They seem to share some of the same functionality.  As well as my Harmony remote, MCE keyboard, MCE remote, etc etc haha Yeah I'm attempting all of that convergence stuff you hear so much about.  Surprisingly it all works.

yayayayay!

That's phat.  Now please _please_ announce a car adapter that will allow me to control the zune through  my car's head unit.

PLEASE!  Tell me it's in the works.  Even if it isn't.  Lie to me.

I just want a wifi remote for my Zune (no dock needed).  

Hey Cesar, I can see that white writing, just to let you know

Well after highlighting same here.

I want the t-shirt! lol, nice video.

"white writing"..yes, it looks like we've found the Zune command center.

Good lookin' out mysterious Admin.  I did in fact see that, and it's definitely in the works...the only drawback being that I still have to handle the Zune in order to fool around w/it.  Actually, do you have anything to add to the Ford Sync system in the new Fords for this year?  I can't remember if you had posted something on that earlier...

For everyone else, just google "ford zune" and you'll get:

"Ford Sync™, powered by Microsoft Auto software, is Ford’s new fully integrated, voice-activated in-car communications and entertainment system for mobile phones and digital music players. "

Supposed to be out in new models starting this year.

Yes, we can read it! :P Try making the TXT transparent too!

High-Five!!  I like the small remote..... it would be better than the media remote for controlling music or photos, but I don't think it would be too practical to use with more advanced stuff like Media Center.

Today's "Daily" is the "Oh No You Didn't!" edition. It was a strange day in Microsoft-land. REALLY strange.
