I think the best solution for finding a way to use another controller would be to analyze the data being sent across the tether cable.......
What's really funny is, I realized shortly after posting my last reply that I was talking about a .bin file, as in BINARY. Hello Bill, you know this!! (Don't worry, I talk to myself like that occasionally, I never take it personally)

Your right, without the correct software tools, it is VERY DIFFICULT to decode them. I agree that the link between the remote and the micro controller is probably serial. That seems to make the most sense to me. I'll do a little more digging once I get the programming kit. UPS has it scheduled for delivery on the 14th.
