[net.auto] Looking for a remote control switch for car alarm

<one for you and the rest for me.....>

I recently bought a car burglar alarm which has a key operated switch and
which goes off whenever there is a disturbance in the electrical
circuitry of the car.  This means that it goes off when the courtesy lights
are switched.  So far, so good.  But now i've become shy of cutting a hole
in my nice shiny body work for the arm/disarm switch, and anyway, the lock
provided with the alarm is silver and my door locks are black chrome (I want
the switch close to the drivers door lock - too much of a pain to mount it
elsewhere.)

So, does anybody know where i can get hold of a small remotely controlled
switch so that i could point my ultrasonic or infra red "key" at the
side of my car and arm or disarm my alarm system?  Actually, a magnetic
key would also work, or failing that a nice neat black chrome key operated
switch.....

Please mail replies to me - if there's sufficient interest i'll post a summary.
