Hello I was wondering if someone knew where I could buy a volume and media playback remote type thing, that can connect to my nexus 7 that is installed in my car. Since my car doesn't have steering wheel buttons, I find it hard to change the volume. So a hardware buttons would be much easier.
Thanks

Hi
I'm planing to mount an Nexus 7 in my car, since I only use my phone for music anyway.
But I don't have remote controls on my steering wheel stock in my 01 wrx.
So I need an bluetooth remote that will allow Me to adjust volume an change song, that can be mounted on the steering wheel.

Like this but with bluetooth so I can use it on the Nexus 7.
Any one knows of something like Im looking fore?
I've tried google but no luck..
With root or a custom Rom, would it be possible to instruct the Nvidia Shield TV volume up/down to somehow bypass the system volume and instead control a usb IR blaster which would then give a signal to my audio receiver? I like the volume controls on my Nvidia remote but wish they would control my receiver. I don't have CEC either.
Anyone? Thoughts?
I've been looking for the same. I can't believe that not all home theater remotes today don't contain at least basic universal remote technology. My main concern is Plex which I can get volume control to work if I put it in stereo but that defeats half the reason (DD and DTS) for owning the Shield. Coming from the Sony GS7 I'm disappointed that I can't properly control volume.
Most recommendations say to use a harmony but then you give up the voice search and the headphone jack. I'll keep searching though as I do really like the Shield box. I'm also going to try with the Flirc as I know people have used that with the Nexus Player but I'm not sure if the Shield volume controls will translate.
I have an old car so it doesn't have a steering wheel control buttons. I bought myself a bluetooth wireless remote control to try to control my music/voice search this way but the bluetooth doesn't connect to the head unit. Is there any work around to get this going? Perhaps w/ a bluetooth adapter connected to the usb? I'd like to connect to my bluetooth accessories somehow.
Thanks!
I am in the same boat as you. Bought a bluetooth steering wheel control, but HU does not recognize. As far as I know, the solution if you want steering wheel control is to install a remote control that I have seen recently on EBay and Aliexpress recently. Search "Car Steering Wheel Control Key Button For Android DVD/GPS Player Bluetooth Phone" on Ebay to see what I am talking about. You have to connect a control unit to the back of the HU. I have not tried this yet. Instructions seem a little unclear and I have not yet taken the plunge.
Hi all,
Just installed a new Joying PX5 unit into my VW and it am loving it! Had an idea for a tweak/mod and cannot find any direct info in my searches..
I do not have steering wheel controls, but my VW turn signal stalk has a cruise control up/down switch, which is PERFECTLY placed as a volume up/down switch- and I never use cruise control.
Can the Joying CANBUS read cruise control +/- button/switch events and remap those to volume? I tried the steering wheel control app but it didn't seem to detect cruise control +/- events. Secondly and just as important (a vw specific question), is it possible to disable cruise control so that the switch +/- doesn't interfere with vehicle speed?
Thanks for any help!
Hi all!
I've recently got a Seicane HU, specifically this one, with a quad core ARM Cortex-A35. I've used the steering wheel control app to learn all the buttons necessary. They all work work great with stock the radio and the BT music player. The only issue is that the next and previous track buttons on my steering wheel do not work when using Spotify while wirelessly connected to Multiplay (Android Auto). I tried searching for a solution but only found that Spotify had an issues awhile back but it was fixed in an update.
Any possible leads?
Cheers,
