So my whole question is in the the title lol. I have a samsung ln32a550 and wanted to pick up a universal remote. My question is if I can set that remote up to use the picture in picture option on the sammy. The remote that came with the tv doesn't have that option and I have to go through 4 menus to get everything set up.

Is there any way I can set up a universal remote to do this with the click of one or two buttons? (one for the PIP and one for the audio swap?)

If you find one let me know.
I have a Samsung HLR-5087W and have just about given up on ever getting the Harmony 880 to ever do advanced PiP functions.

The following advanced codes will probably work with device code 10060 or 11060 (could be another, as there are many listed in the manual) on a radio shack 15-133, 134 or 135:

PIP Ch- 00155
PIP Ch+ 00151
PIP Size 00090
PIP Swap 00217
PIP Toggle 00213

To test these, program one of the device codes and see if anything works (ch+ for example). Once you find the right device code, press "P" followed by one of the 5 digit codes above. Once you confirm they work, follow the instructions in my sig to program them.

Not sure which of these, if any is audio swap. The full code list is HERE. Since those remotes are so cheap, you could program whatever functions you need, and teach them to your Harmony or whatever other remote you like. For me though, the 134 is my main remote.
