So basically i'm looking for something I can attach to my steering wheel to be able to control the volume, track next/forward, and play/pause. Any suggestions? The only thing I've found that comes close is: http://www.satechi.net/index.php/satechi-bluetooth-remote-control
Does anybody have any experience with this particular device?
I extremly suggest nokia bh214 , music control,sound quality and talking is very good

I've bought a cheap Bluetooth keyboard that I am going to wire into the keys of my steering wheel too.
I just have this annoying problem, that whenever my Nexus 7 sees a Bluetooth keyboard connected, the onscreen soft keyboard is disabled, so i cannot anter anything on the screen :-/
// Per.
I just got a 128 GB OnePlus 3T a few days ago to replace a dead Nexus 6P. So far I'm very happy with the phone (performance, screen, etc, camera is almost as good, blah blah) except one thing.
My bluetooth is completely nuts. Sometimes I will turn it on via Settings or Quick Settings and it will not turn on at all (the slider moves to the right but stays greyed out, then moves back to the left). Other times I am "luckier" and it switches on and begins scanning, and I can see devices in the area. I pair to a speaker dock via NFC or my wireless headphones via tapping on them and the connection is established, you can hear the speakers go "hey something connected".
So that's all fine. But then you start playing music. About 40-60 seconds in it will skip, crackle, or pause the music entirely. Sometimes the device makes its disconnect noise immediately followed by its reconnect noise. At this point pressing 'play' again starts the cycle over again, usually, or sometimes it will just refuse to "talk to" anything any more until you reboot the phone.
The phone came with OOS 3.5.4 out of the box and immediately got an OTA to 4.1.1. I was suspect about the upgrade procedure and sighed and did a full reset and re-flashed the full 4.1.1 image using adb sideload, logged back in, did the barest of minimum updates to the Google apps to make it stop complaining, and then tried music again. More skipping and pausing. My headphones have a volume up/down key on them, pressing that pretty much immediately results in a disconnect.
It's like the AVRCP (command) bluetooth protocol is "fighting" the A2DP audio stream protocol? It doesn't make any sense. This would also explain why my car audio has NEVER worked, because my head unit uses AVRCP to read track names and my headphones and speaker dock don't have any sort of screen to speak of.
I want to love this phone and don't want to pay double for a similar Pixel, but I might just have to return it if it's effectively useless at one of the main things I have a phone for! :crying:
Hmmm...My Bluetooth connection never have that issues. I used Bluetooth headphones and my car head unit. Running oos 4.1.1 as well.
Try dirty flashing your ROM, there might be something wrong with the drivers. Bluetooth commands (volume, pause, voice assistant, skip, etc.) work find on my headset, I don't believe its a compatibility issue.
If that fails, it might be a hardware defect?
I don't have problems with Bluetooth im using sony wireless earphones everyday. Try reformat the phone
Hi!
Android Nougat has heavy issues regarding bluetooth connectivity. If you Google it you will see...
I have the very same Problems like you with my car radio...
This must be finally adressed by Google.

Huh? Must be an compatability issue between the BT device and your phone. I have 6 active BT devices I use all the time with this phone and my tablet. Car stereo, fitnessband, speakers and inear plugs.
Only issue I sometimes face is the 'stuck in connecting to last used device' where BT needs to be turned off and on again. Wouldn't call it a heavy issue.
bluetooth perfect here. better than my lg g3 that i had previous.
So, more info. If 2.4 GHz WiFi is active in ANY WAY, the bluetooth goes nuts. AVRCP (bidirectional commands) make it worse. Putting the phone in airplane mode to disable the "ambient" wifi location scanning and such, then turning bluetooth on manually and playing some downloaded music, seems to work fine. Switch the WiFi on though (even though my access point is 5 GHz), bam down the toilet. Ugh.
I did a complete reset and flashed OOS 4.1.1 from adb, no improvement. I'm trying the Open Beta 4 right now but I doubt it will be any better.
Did you turn off the scanning feature?
Happens to me like once every 3 days. I usually reboot by then

Hi, I have the exact same phone and been having stuttering performance with Bluetooth and Sony MDR-X330BT and worked fine with the 1+ 3. I decided to tell the phone to forget the headphones and start afresh; big mistake headphones kept refusing to pair. I noticed they have the NFC symbol on one of the earpads so I enabled NFC and used app I had downloaded a while back, 'Tap-and-Pair' that did not work either. I did a search today and found a great app that worked - 'NFC Easy Connect' from the Play Store. Now all I need is stable connection from car system which appeared to be tied in with length of screen life before going to sleep but think it may be faulty Twingo as been on the car forum and found others with similar issues but different smartphone to the 1+ 3T. Hope this helps.
Hey people.
I have ordered a BMW motorbike, which has a wheel interface on the left handlebar.
This wheel controls various things on the bike, but also a seperate sat nav unit (Garmin something or other)
Anyway I have found a device called wunderLINQ which will convert the handlebar wheel interface into keyboard input
It has Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter and Escape.
It also sends data from the bike (tyre pressures, RPM, speed, etc etc)
I know some vehicles have android auto without a touchscreen (Mazda and audi at least) and I wondered if there was a way to get the android auto app on my phone to act like this?
Cheers,
Tom.
Hello!
I just got my Dasaita Max6 installed by CarToys, into my 2014 Fiat 500. I have a couple questions. I have no steering wheel control. CarToys said the included wires won't allow steering wheel control. Is there anything I can do in the settings to make it work? Or do I need to buy a specific cable?
Also, a yellow triangle alert screen will randomly pop up while I'm driving. It stops the audio and I can't use any buttons on the stereo while the yellow triangle is being displayed. It only seems to come on when I hit a bump in the road, and won't go away until I hit another bump? Is this a loose wire, or just a coincidence?
Last question, does this stereo support an iPod? Thanks everyone for your help!!!!!
Incorrect forum BTW, you have an MTCD/E. I would take it back for refund or remediation.
Do you have any suggestions to replace the above factory Unit. The Heater controls are in the head unit and controlled by the touch screen ( i know its dumb) also I cant seem to find a unit to do this except for the 12 inch tesla screens and I dont like them but will buy ne if I have to.
thanks
yeah having AC in the touch screen is so annoying, my car has that too. but of course the audio gets physical dials and buttons on the dashboard AND steering wheel
Have you looked into the iDataLink Maestro?
