You can fully control XBMC with any Universal Infrared Remote (IR-remote), however you still need the Microsoft Xbox IR-receiver-dongle that you get with the Xbox DVD-Remote Kit. The XBox DVD remote uses the RCA VCR/DVD player codes from the RC5 protocol, so simply follow the instructions that came with your Universal Remote on how to set it to "RCA" or "RC5".

Custom Keymapping

You can define the keys of the remote as you like, by editing the "XBMC\UserData\Keymap.xml" file on your Xbox.
To figure out what code your remote control is sending to the Xbox when you press a button, enable the <displayremotecodes> setting in AdvancedSettings.xml.
