Ok but it could be great!

I got this as an addition to my new F7 as my jeep didn't come with steering wheel controls. Installation couldn't be simpler, nicer and easier. The device fitted my handlebars easily, although the back end of the tape was slightly longer. However, you can leave it as is, cut or pin. You decide. Connectivity and operation are good, although it's easy to unintentionally turn the volume wheel with your hand or finger while steering, but I've found that incorrect placement isn't usually a huge…

  • cool item

Easy installation, no backlight, just glow-in-the-dark buttons

I bought this to get the SWC back in my car. First, as far as I know, it's only built for this brand of device. Here's what I noticed after installing: 1. No configuration required. Plug and play for Atoto A62. Not high quality material. Made from cheap plastic with an elastic rubber band like a watch.3. It has very few features. The basics like volume, next, and microphone are covered. If you want more features, this is not for you.4. There is NO highlight in the description. It is made of a…

  • GOLS certified

  • Reliable

Manual volume and channel control!

Works exactly as described but with a few things that may bother you for very specific reasons: Illuminated Keys: The keys are made from a material that glows in the dark provided it has been placed in the sun most time of day. Putting them in a garage like me won't charge them and they won't glow in the dark. (Unless it's a 24-7 light garage) Not a big deal as you quickly get used to the button layout and don't have to look at them to use the 4 main buttons. Attitude:. The center button is set

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Repair

I love this little remote control.

I recently bought an Atoto F7 partly because I noticed they have a remote control option on the steering wheel. Very well designed. Comes with a strap that can be stretched around the wheel using a magnet and self-adhesive sticker. I chose the latter as there was a vacant, unused space on my steering wheel (which is where the stock controls would go if given the option). I like the volume of the surrounding outer rim, very similar to the iPod. Super responsive; there is no tax delay. It *no*…

  • Handy item

  • Modern

Great idea, poor execution

I really like the idea behind this remote control. I had a hard time choosing 3 stars as it should be closer to 3.5 stars. The controls are great and makes my life so much easier as I don't even have to think about it. My wife's car has a built in controller so I had to have it in my car too and that was the option I had. The handling part works well, but what falls short is the mounting option they chose. The tape is taped on, so you'll need to tape it again if you want to change the sides of…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • There are downsides

I tried to use it with the head unit Atoto F7 Pro. The main reason I bought it was because I wanted to quickly switch to the rear camera while driving. F7 has a function to customize the steering wheel buttons, but they don't allow this function to work with their own steering wheel remote control. Nowhere in the manuals does it say this, so I just assumed the remote from the same company would work with this feature. But no. The buttons are what they are and you can't customize them at all…

Pros
  • While I'm satisfied
Cons
  • There are new competitors

After installing the ATOTO stereo my biggest problem was the lack of a volume control. My car doesn't have audio controls on the steering wheel so this was a big problem and I even considered returning the stereo and buying a new one. But I decided to try this product. In general I am satisfied with them. There is a very small delay between pressing the button and registering it. Everything works as expected. The best (and worst) part of this product is the volume control. You control the…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Outstanding functionality; Mediocre design; The back is not flat

Long summary: This remote works well and I'm glad I have it. EDIT June 10, 2021: I am updating this review to report a battery change. The remote I bought and tested just over a year ago becomes quite erratic when the battery dies. Although the unit came with a CR-2025 battery (and a spare), I found the 0.7mm thick CR-2032 battery (also 3V) was a better fit and lasted longer. Also, the device pictured today and recently reviewed by others is clearly a redesigned design from what I received and…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Good but not great
