No no no.

There is one new remote "style". They look the same apart from the colour -- there is a blue one which works with all remote senders, and a grey/black one which doesn't work with most of them.

If your friend has a Pace 1000, then he'll have a black remote. This is incompatible with most remote senders, including the one in your link. The clue is that it says you need a 4001 box -- these use the blue remotes only.

The two remote controls pictured in your link are the "old style" and "new style" blue remotes. I'm afraid your control won't work unless you use a Red Eye translation device.
