As for remotely controling systems - THS gives rules for `Telepresence', which is controling a remote drone via a VR rig (either neural or not) - and applies a slight penalty to all skill rolls due to not actualy being there (and a further penalty due to light-lag over significant distances, but that's probably not relevant to your question). Dropping the penalty and replacing it with the +4 bonus mentioned above might well help to simulate Shadowrun better.

These are also in one of the Vehicles Expansions (VEX2, I think) which may be more useful for non-THS game.
EDIT: I wanted to add, Vehicles and the two Vehicles Expansions are something you might want to seriously look at for a cyberpunk game, recognizing that there are going to be some 3e->4e issues.
