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

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.

Overall really good, easy to use and setup, however it doesn’t answer calls and doesn’t activate Siri. Would recommend but hope the manufacturers release a version that allows use for Siri and calls.

This connected to my Android phone without issue and works flawlessly for moving forward and backward through playlists (tested with YouTube Music and Plexamp). Volume and Play/Pause work perfectly too. I did come across one issue, though: when connected, my phone thinks it's a physical keyboard, so my on-screen keyboard won't display for song searches. My solution is to wrap the gadget in tinfoil to block the signal for those occasions.

New update: Updating this product Oct 2016, it's barely been a year since I bought this product, which was stuck on my steering wheel. Recently I bought a new phone, which meant I had to take the button off the steering wheel as the Bluetooth paring button was at the back! I read others complain about this but I didn't think too much of it. Experiencing myself was a pain to say the least. Whilst attempting to take the button off, the glue sticky was so strong that the battery cover detached - after I got it home to put it back together, I realised that battery wasn't sitting tight as it should - with my last push the 'metal' looking surrounding came off the button and it was impossible to put back together. I am extremely annoyed with this product and so not understand why they had to think of having the paring button at the back. Waste of money. Old review: was looking for one of these for awhile, as I listen to music from my HTC phone via the car stereo. There's plenty of similar remotes available online but nothing had good reviews as much as this - but nothing was as expensive as this either (for what it offered), but my safety and comfort came first and I didn't want something gimmicky that never worked, this had reviews that spoke for itself...so eventually bought it. Pros: - Very sleek looking premium feel and design, looks like an Apple product. - Works every time, someone it's a bit slow to respond, but that's probably me being impatient. - Drving is now very pleasant and eyes are on the road rather than phone!! Cons - Yes it looks great, but if there's a cheaper version that works, I'd rather buy the cheap model. I think for what it offers (just basic music control) is very expensive. I would have expected atleast for a phone answer button. - Its quite bulky and sort of sticks out, so you would have to get used to not displacing off steering. I'm still getting used to trying to avoid touching whilst turning. - The holder which attaches to the steering, should have been an optional (and price reflecting this), as I find it even bad, gets in the way when steering. Instead I would have preferred to have a couple of sticky pads, they provide just one. I had to change it over once already since I wasn't comfortable having the button on the right hand side. - I thought this should be no more than £15. But since there's nothing like it, I can't blame them for charging more.

Perfect for me as lets me control music on my phone with or without EarPods. Saves all that hassle trying to get EarPods to do what you want. Very responsive and easy to use with a great range.

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 good Cons: - 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 battery Great buy!

Surprised how small this device was when it arrived, a bit bigger than a £2 coin. Managed to pair this quite easily to my iPhone 12, although you will need a tiny pin to press the pair button in. It worked great for 10 minutes, without any delay between pressing next track or pressing pause/play. Then it disconnected. I had to get the pin in the back and pair it up again. Then it disconnected after 10 mins again. As I was reconnecting it, it fell off my lap onto the carpeted floor, a distance of 50cm and boom! The device fell apart due to it being so cheap quality, the battery rolled away under a cabinet, the tiny pinhead sized pair button was lost forever. It took me an hour to put it back together using duck tape. It is so cheap that I nearly crushed it between my fingers trying to snap the body back onto the backing ring. Anyway I also noticed that when it’s time to replace the battery there is a tiny tiny Philips screw which I have no screwdriver small enough, even my glasses repair screwdriver is too big. Maybe the Koreans should have supplied a special tool to remove the screw. So you will have to snap the back off to get to the battery. It is now back together and taped up, honestly I don’t recommend anyone buying this as 1 false move or 1 drop or fumble will result in the whole thing falling apart. It is the cheapest Korean crap I have ever bought. Absolute garbage!

I've been looking for such a little clever device for about two years time. Until Satechi came up with this their 'Media Button', the only option was to get a similar device from the US (delivery cost was ridiculous). Yes, I know there were bluetooth remote controls - I even have two or three of those, but this device is a huge step forward. This little gadget does exactly what I needed it to do. You can play, pause, skip your music tracks, you can put the volume up and down. It's small (about the size of £2 coin (well, maybe 10% bigger) and very, very light - it virtually weights nothing. The only downside I can see is the quality of the plastic used. The buttons work, but they feel cheap and kinda 'squeak' when you press them. But apart from that, the device is really cool. Highly recommended.
