Adding a power trigger to an amp that doesn't have one

Hello Everyone, 

I might be buying an amplifier that has a remote but doesn't have a 12v trigger port. I need it to have one so that I can turn it on with a 12v from my AVR. 

Is there a device that on one end has a 12v(mono standard 12v plug) and on the other end an IR transmitter that can be programmed to the power button of the remote from the amp? 

I don't want to use a universal remote since none of them have the mouse/pointer ability to move like the LG magic remote (at least from what I could find). 

Thanks!

NOTE: I need to press a button on my amp or its remote to turn it on, it will not turn on just from the powering on a power socket.

What amplifier is it?

The problem is that almost all the amplifier with momentary Standby/On push button switch will only can put it into Standby if using AC mains switch, you still need to momentarily press the front panel button or use the remote to turn it on.

I don't think such a device exists.

However, it's basically a 12V trigger interface used to control a button of an IR learning remote control.

That is a good DIY project!
