SatechiBluetooth Media Button with Steering Wheel Mount - Wireless Music & Volume Control for iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Android, Car & Bike Audio Systems

Fantastic bit of it, going from a new car to an older one I missed the steering wheel controls.This looks great and works very well.

I bought this because my 2012 VW Golf has a factory Bluetooth head unit that streams music from my iPhone perfectly, but doesn't allow any playback control using the steering wheel or head unit buttons. This device does the job, and I have it mounted to the steering wheel with its supplied clip.I would agree with other reviewers that the Bluetooth pairing button is in the wrong place. It would make more sense to be at the 12 o'clock position of the metallic bezel so that it could be used without having to take the button out of the clip; as is it, the 12 o'clock position is taken up by the hole for the supplied wrist strap. The button is flush with the case and needs to be pressed and held with an appropriately-sized tool, so it couldn't be operated by accident even if it was repositioned. I suspect it's only on the back because that was the most convenient (and therefore cheapest) place to put it given the layout of the internal board.I haven't had any of the problems other reviewers have noted with the sticky pad, because I'm not using it - in fact, I'm not sure it even came with one. If you're using it in the steering wheel clip, you don't need a sticky pad, it's firmly held in place by the sides of the clip.The very first day I put it into use, I accidentally knocked it off the steering wheel as I was getting out of the car, and after I picked it up off the floor it wasn't working. I thought that maybe the battery had become dislodged, but re-seating it made no difference. In the end I replaced it with a new Duracell (it's a CR2016) and it came back to life.

Brilliant little button. Works well to keep you safe on the road as you don't have to look at your phone to change music!Pros:- Looks great, very slim, small and stylish- Easy to click- Doesn't get in the way of your steering (if you decide to stick it to the steering wheel which I did and recommend)- Battery lasts for ages, as it turns off when you haven't clicked it for a while. So when you click it again after a period of time not clicking it, you have to click it twice (one to wake it, and then one to complete the command such as pause/play). This is not a hassle at all as you get into the habit of doing it, and its a life saver not having to change the battery as the battery is quite fiddly (see cons)-Comes with a battery which is always goodCons:- The battery backing is quite fragile. When I took my car in for repairs, the engineer accidentally removed the button. I couldn't stick it back on because the sticky backing that was securing it got dirty. So I tried to take the sticky backing off, but accidentally broke the battery backing. The battery only works when this is on. I fixed it with a lot of bluetack, but just be aware that you should use a screwdriver to change the battery. However, you shouldn't have to do this often because it comes with a batteryGreat buy!

It does exactly what it says on the tin. And very well. Extremely impressed with this little button, it's so small, yet works so well. Just plugging my phone in and controlling the volume, changing the song and pausing/playing. It works at extremely long distance too, still works quickly and accurate from the other side of my house, even upstairs. Easy to pair with a small button on the back, that you hold for around 3 seconds, the you're phone will pick it up and recognise it as a media device. Works well with my HTC One M8, using Google Play Music as my music app. It's easy to use and has a small replaceable battery which can be unscrewed on the back, when it runs out. Probably won't be doing that any time soon with the up to 2 years battery life. The controller even has a small blue led light to tell you when you've pressed a button, or it is looking for a device to pair to. After a short amount of time, it conveniently powers off, to save battery and powers back on when next pressed. Gadgets like these are almost what make my life and it's handy. For the price, I'd say. It's worth it.

This device sends volume up and volume down button presses, which are enough to cause the Kindle apps for Android and iOS to advance and retreat reliably, one page at a time. It will not work on an Amazon Kindle.I tried one of the devices that fits on a finger like a ring. It was described mainly as a tool for scrolling through TikTok videos, but claimed to advance pages in e-reader applications as well. The mention of TikTok is the clue that what these things send are scroll up and scroll down gestures, which won't reliably control the Kindle app.
