Handy, helpful bluetooth music button!
I have an old car. I often play music from my phone 6S through the car speaker or through a bluetooth speaker. I have my iphone mounted on the dash, but it's not convenient to change songs while driving. It's one thing to push radio buttons on the dash, but it's harder to reach over and push virtual buttons on a phone screen while driving. So this Satechi Bluetooth Media Button helps tremendously. You can see in the photo how perfectly it mounts on my steering wheel. It doesn't get in the way at all while turning. There could be some improvements, such as making it easier to feel what I'm pressing without having to look, but I'm getting used to it. Sometimes I hit pause when I mean to hit forward. But that's a small issue. This button is much easier to use than having to reach over to tap a virtual button on my iphone. It paired easily and wakes up easily. I like how easy it is to pop it off and toss it in the glove box when I park. Some of the comments by other reviewers make lots of sense. I also wish they'd either included a tiny screw driver for help in changing the battery when that time comes or made it easier to open the back. Anyway, it's attractive, functions perfectly, makes driving safer, and it's really fun to have some new technology in my old Bug!As a plus, the media button works well with taking photos and videos with my iphone. Just like on my iphone, you can use the volume up or down buttons to take a photo. And you can also start and stop recording a video the same way. I like having a remote button to play with the next time I'm taking photos with friends.I have one bone to pick with Satechi. The size of this media button is obvious from the photos, yet the dimensions listed on Amazon and on the Satechi site are totally wrong! They list the diameter of the button accurately, but the other dimensions are way off! I don't know why. Doesn't make sense. Fortunately the pictures give you a good idea.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. It's fun to use. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Awesome little remote for my motorcycle.
First of all, I was surprised that there aren't as many of these bluetooth remotes out there. That being said, this one would probably be the best designed anyways.Pros:Small and compactAesthetically pleasingFunctions as advertizedCons:Hard to push pairing buttonSteering wheel mount diameter is to big for my motorcycle handlebars (not a real complaint since that's not the design, but something for them to think about if they come out with a newer model)The unit looks great and functions as it should. The button in the back which is the pairing button is a little hard to push but other than that I have no legitimate complaints. I bought this for my motorcycle so I could control my music in my bluetooth helmet without taking my hands off of the handle bars. The steering wheel attachment is awesome and I used it to help mount it to my handlebars. My handlebars diameter is slightly smaller than a steering wheel which allowed it to spin freely so I used some thick foam tape to bulk it up and then rapped the base up to keep it from spinning due to the vibrations. I think this company would do much better with this product if they targeted motorcycles as well. I'm not sure how it will hold up to water, but then again, I don't plan to ride in the rain. However, if it happens, I will update.Addition: I'm using this with a samsung galaxy note 4. This product pops up as a keyboard on my phone. Works with amazon mp3, slacker radio, iheart radio and Google music app.June 4th 2015 update!So after a few months of use, this little guy is still going strong, I use it a lot and it seems very tough. I will update again if it breaks anytime soon. With that being said, I got caught in the rain a couple weeks ago, which was light to moderate shower and it held up just fine. Also yesterday I was near the beach and in the morning my bike (including the button) was covered in a heavy, heavy dew. After the ride home today, I think it's in the clear as its still working fine with no deficits. But again, only time will tell. Bottom line? 4 of my riding buddies have bought one since I got mine and they all love it and you will too. Good job Satechi.

Neat!!
Recently I've been thinking of adding aftermarket steering wheel buttons in my car, but I wasn't really sure where to start. That's when I found out about the existence of these. So my boyfriend helped me decide which one to get and that was this one. May seem a lil pricey, but it's awesome!Once we got it connected to my phone, which probably took a minute, it worked like a charm. We then went to put it on my wheel.- note: the clip it came with wasn't wide enough for my steering wheel. My car is a 2008 Kia Spectra. However this wasn't a issue to me as it also came with the double sticky tape. Just hold it in position for a sec and you're good to go!Within minutes I got used to how it works and can easily change my music while driving. It's volume up and down buttons haven't really made a difference for my music but that's not a deal breaker to me as I can just change that with the buttons beneath my stereo screen. In terms of skipping or going back to the previous track or pausing, wonderful! Would high recommend one of these if you want to safely change your tunes without looking away from the road!
