- Reviewed in Canada on April 1, 2023Verified PurchaseI got this little controller for Atoto S8 Premium head unit and works like wonder to say the least. The rotary knob for volume works great as you can instantly control the volume up/down. Same thing goes for the buttons as they serve dual functions and I specifically love the quick access for the backup camera. They are glow in the dark as well. The removable magnetic design is so clever that my kids are able to use it at the back seat and they simply loving it and therefore letting me focus on driving.
I encountered one issue where the Play/Pause button stop functioning but was completely cause by my music streaming app(Youtube Music) when I enable it to auto start with the unit. I just disable it to auto start and works perfectly fine after that. This issue doesn't seem to affect the freeloaded audio apps.
Overall I loved the clever design and the functionality is top notch. Would recommend it with Atoto head unit especially with anyone who have kids.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 29, 2022Verified PurchaseI got it as it seemed like a nice little ad on to the ATOTO S8 single din I got. so far I am loving it as now that I found the right place for me on the wheel to place it.
Pros:
It is super easy to use and install.
If you have a manual transmission it makes stereo control so much easier.
Con:
Magnet could be so much stronger as knocked it off a couple times.
Conclusion:
Worth the $30 bucks.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 20, 2025Verified PurchaseI should have listened to the reviews done. It does work with my radio. Huge issue is it turns up the volume on its own. Goes full volume out the blue and does it all the time. Almost went off the road due to it. Terrible terrible device. Sending back asap.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2023Verified PurchaseThis was plug and play. The receiver cable plugs into the back of the F7 and just works. I actually purchased this after using a Honda steering wheel adapter I connected to the F7 which because of my old '05 CRV didn't have more than 2 adjustable buttons. It was always annoying to change tracks or adjust the volume but now I don't even bother with the wired controls as the roll/thumb wheel on this remote is a far more natural feeling and complete. My only gripe (if it even counts as one) is you kind of need to hit it a few times on first go to activate the remote. I think it's a battery saving sleep mode which makes sense and I'm glad it has it, it's just something to note. I haven't changed the battery since I attached it to my wheel 4 months ago before winter and it still works despite the cold weather.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2023Verified PurchaseThe mic button which was the main reason I purchased it, is completely inconsistent. Requires 5+ presses, and almost never works the first time. Still super useful for the other buttons, but I just find it strange that this is the only button that does not work as well as the others. Be prepared to press many times and accidentally cancel the mic. Still would recommend for the other button's functionality.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 23, 2024Verified PurchaseMust have remote for atoto stereos. Just plug and play.
Rotating volume control is not super precise, but that's fine for the price.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2023Verified PurchaseI hate pressing the little buttons on the main screen, the remote works 90% of the time, I believe when it doesn’t the signal is being blocked by my steering wheel. I don’t like that it connects to the band via a magnet, it gets knocked off all the time when I’m driving and I’m considering supergluing it down to the band. If you don’t have steering wheel controls I would definitely recommend this keeping in mind that it will absolutely come off while you’re driving if you palm the wheel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple et efficace
Verified PurchaseC'est mon deuxième véhicule que j'équipe avec cette télécommande et un Atoto S8 gen2 premium. Simple et efficace. Au moins j'arrive à reprendre toutes les commandes qui étaient sur le volant de mon Santa Fe 3 alors qu'avec le canbus il ne distinguait pas la commande vocale du décroché de téléphone. En plus pas de branchements à faire sur le faisceau de l'autoradio. Juste à brancher le récepteur sur la prise IR

5.0 out of 5 stars Steering wheel control.
Verified PurchaseHave been using this for almost a year now in my campervan and it has worked faultlessly. It's as good as the factory fitted one in my car and is a great safety addition.
