dizzle

I'm thinking about adding a hard drive divx player in my rx330 w/ navigation, mounted in the trunk.
Please look at the back view, There is an input for Coaxial/Ext. IR...

If I were to buy a 15ft IR Emitter/Blaster, pictured below, will I be able to use the remote in the front driver/passenger area to control the divx player?

Let me know if this would work. I'd like to get the player, but the remote control will not control the player in the trunk because there isn't a straight line of site. I'm guessing that running a small wire to the front, I can control it. Any help appreciated.
