Recoil Waterproof Bluetooth Media Button Steering Wheel Remote Control for Car Bike Motorbike Boat Powersports Compatible iPhone 16 Pro/16 Samsung Galaxy or Any Android Device

I love this remote and I bought it for my golf cart. It easily connects to my Iphone and works great. The battery lasted about 8 months before I had to charge it. I highly recommend it and the only negative thing I could say is that it is hard to read the buttons but I have just memorized them so I don't have any issues with it anymore.

Pros: Build quality and connectivity is great. Easily and quickly connects to my android phone. Responsive tactile buttons. Does make a clicking sound with each press (not silent press if that is what you need, but click not that loud or annoying).Cons: Bracket totally useless as many others have commented. Difficult to snap device onto the mounting bracket. Even when it is snapped in, a slight tug will pop it out. No way I would recommend anyone using it as is on their motorcycles or bikes without retro fitting mount with velcro tape or some sort of strong magnetic mount.... The other con is what others have said too. Very difficult to read as dial is all black. A quick glance and you can't tell what button is what. Would have been great if buttons had colored indication icons and/or raised button ridges.Conclusion: With all the cons, I would still recommend it if you're looking for a good remote. I can live with the short comings as I don't need it to be mounted. I have it on the included string as I'm using it as a remote keychain on my bag or jacket. Will work great on active activities like snow blowing/mowing without needing to take out my phone. To get around the visibility con, just brush some acrylic paint into the button grooves. Just enough to cover the recessed button icons, then take a damp paper towel and gently wipe the excess off. As long as towel is moist, it should take off the surface excess and leave the paint in the recessed icon indicators. If you mess up, just use a wet towel and rub it off and start again. Take your time, it's easy. I used a different color for the bluetooth button. Even after it has dried, if you ever wanted to redo with another color, just wet a cloth and rub into the grooves to get paint off and redo. Enclose is my finished product. Was going to record video of me doing the painting, but got lazy. :) Good luck.

I purchased this for two reasons, and it worked well (but not perfectly) for both:1. The more typical reason I bought it was to attach it to my steering wheel so I could remotely operate the pause, volume, and the "next track"/"previous track" functions of my mobile phone, which I often have tethered by either cable or Bluetooth to my car's auto system. Making the Bluetooth connection with the phone was super easy, and all the control buttons work as I expected. Two reasons why I say "not perfectly" though are these; first, "form over function," as they say. The whole thing is black, including the buttons, which makes the device extremely difficult to read without staring carefully at it. This defeats the purpose of not having to take my eyes off the road. It could be better then if the buttons' icons were painted in a contrasting or even glow-in-the-dark paint, or if the buttons felt like what they were, such as the typical right-pointing triangle button for play, a square first stop, etc., so that you could tell by the field without even looking at it which button you were pushing. Secondly, my steering wheel is a little thicker than stock thickness because I've got a steering wheel cover on it. The strap this came with his extremely tight even without the steering wheel cover, and takes a good bit of dexterity/strength to get it around the steering wheel. Good news is, it holds firmly. I had a heck of a time the first time figuring out how to secure the device to the strap mount, and encourage you therefore to look carefully at the image on the product page, which explains exactly how to press in turn just right. Do that and it works fine.2. Even if it didn't work for driving, I thought it might be useful for when I am outside running down the streets or on a trail, as a way to leave my cell phone stashed. The device comes with a lanyard, but that's not an ideal solution for someone who is running, because it bounces if you are wearing it around your neck. Plus, as noted in reason #1 above, I still find myself having to stop (so I don't trip) to read the button's controls and make sure pushing the right one. This defeats the purpose of not having to pull my phone out if I still have to stop and stare to figure out what to push. My goal, which may require some glue, duct tape or wizardry, is to find a way to attach this to something resembling a watch wristband. That would be a much better solution, allowing me to wear this Bluetooth thingy on my wrist for easy access.So… Not perfect, but pretty cool. It's small and lightweight, which I like. I just wish it was easier to read the buttons, and wouldn't it be nice if it came with a Velcro strap long enough to let you strap it to your wrist.

I ski every Saturday and Sunday and when I found this device I thought I had found a huge improvement to my life. It allows me to change songs without removing my hands from my gloves and turn the volume up and down while skiing. I keep it in my glove with my hand, so it's plenty warm. The first time I took it out, it lasted all day, about 6 hours. I took it home and charged it. The next day, it lasted 4 hours. Not great, but maybe I didn't plug it in all the way. Then is lasted 2 then 1, now it won't turn on. The light only comes on when I plug it into the charger. I am very careful with my rechargeable batteries, never charged it using a car charger, also used a trickle charger, but it won't turn on and I am past the Amazon return window. I emailed the company directly a few days ago, but never got a response. I would love for this to work because it was so nice on the days that it did.Update (5/19/2024): after leaving the previous review the company contacted me and sent me a replacement. It does appear to be a used or “second” replacement, but it works great and I am very happy with it. Despite my issue I still recommend it as the best way to control your music while skiing/snowboarding/biking/riding/etc. I recommend this to everyone I know that does any sort of outdoor activity. Even though I have an Apple Watch, this is a far superior method of controlling music because of the physical buttons.
