no...just use an omni pro 2 with the touch screen....
if you must control lighting via ir use an ir to rs232 peice and just put in the rs232 command to turn on and off.....
no limitations...only limitation i see is you experience level....
put in crestron for touch screens....... amx will work........
no disrespect to you vw but i think your above your skill level.... this could not be any easier.
best wishes
