How to copy the technmate external IR sensor cable

[thejoker]

I would like to hide my vu duo away and just have a external IR sensor lead exposed. Im sure this couldn't be that complicated. Is it just a matter of getting appropriate IR cable and soldering it to the IR sensor within the front panel?

These work really well:

The only downside is that there is an annoying red led in the receiver but you can prise the case apart and put black tape over it.
