Cheap Touchscreen Radio Steering Wheel Remote

[@HaleyParker-lb7zk]

Can someone please just tell me what kind of batteries I need for my steering wheel remote! I can’t figure it out to save my life!

[@jonelleriboni9826]

Thank you!!! I bout one of those stereos and no instructions came for that remote. It also came with another hand held remote I may use instead. But much appreciated for the installation instructions.

[@pixelpadre]

Ive got that same screw driver. Its the best tool I have ever used. When they bury me it will be with me.

[@timothykelley5662]

COULD YOU TELL ME THE BATTERY MODEL AND/ OR QUANITY?

[@gadgetsense3981]

MOD is probably, MODE. BND, would most likely be BAND when choosing to listen to am/fm radio.

[@georgievnikolay2758]

But how to make it on and connect to the radio

[@vandam3829]

Thank you

[@pixelpadre]

isnt the a SWC learning mode on your radio....there usually is.

[@wbdill]

"MOD" = mode. "BND" = band (AM/FM)

[@mihaipredescu]

MODE = Source, in this case.

[@BenJaMin-zs4tt]

Mine didnt come with a battery, im trying to find out which battery it takes. Nm i found the info in the comments

[@langetlikisorma]

What kind of battery are you using in that unit , I bought one and it doesn’t say anything about what battery to use !! Thanks

[@jeffdowner2378]

Could not get it to work on a right hand drive car The remotes curvature means you have to mount it on the R/H side of the steering wheel which blanks the led reaching the radio ir input

[@cubanrican9789]

Thanks for the vid. How's the radio and control holding up so far? Do you recommend it?

[@iddx]

Did you ever figure out how to program it? I bought one of these remotes but can't figure out how to program it, there was no manual.

[@Spebrad]

Same here I'm having trouble finding the right battery they don't tell us much about it.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

You almost certainly can't, the sellers of these remotes are just dishonest &/or clueless. They most likely only work with generic Chinese headunits such as shown in the video.

[@andrewfilippone2130]

Change the battery and open your camera on your phone and hold the purple infrared in front of camera and press buttons while looking through your phone camera to make sure the purple IR is blinking. This will ensure that your remote is functional. No programming necessary.

[@andrewfilippone2130]

​@@DoubleMonoLR have you ever bought a RCA television where the remote worked on your zenith television in the other bedroom? Absolutely not! Because that's not how any of this works.

[@kokamiki]

​@@andrewfilippone2130 thank you so much.. i cant set the remote but I found out how i can see the IR . Thank you. God bless you.

[@claudesmoot1880]

Thanks for the video.

[@adriangabrieldias]

Thanks man just got the f16 promate fm transmitter bluetooth you helped me for steering wheel installing

[@naysmith7235]

Thank you I can't believe I didn't think of unscrewing the screws, maybe i have a few loose ones myself lol !

[@rayugadragonemperer6699]

Where to get that product. How to connect it with LCD. Ps: my car dvd don’t have remote

[@perrytech000]

Hello, does this remote control have an on / off button or does it go into standby after a short time?

[@Rickmakes]

It uses infrared so it only consumes power when you are pressing a button.

[@torrescesar71]

After 4 years is it still working?.

[@Rickmakes]

Yep. Still working.

[@dkvalic]

Is it still working after 9 months? How often do you change the battery? Great video btw!

[@Rickmakes]

Still working. I haven't had to change the battery yet. It should last quite a while because it only uses power when you press the buttons.

[@papi-champoo6033]

I just put a steering wheel cover to prevent hitting that elastic band and shifting the remote around.

[@Rickmakes]

If I hadn't had the steering wheel re-wrapped, I probably would have double stick taped it. :)

[@Barz-after-Barz]

Bought mine yesterday. Button functions are not in sync with my head unit. Volume up goes to fm radio and volume down is number 3 etc... How to reprogram it?

[@DoubleMonoLR]

You can't, you're lucky it does anything at all. These have fixed IR codes, different devices use different codes.

[@rayharmacinski4934]

Does not work with alpine of kenwood stereos

[@takermysterio619]

Hi there, can this remote skip songs when you’re connected via Bluetooth? Thank you

[@KayzaBo18]

Extremely helpful

[@Rickmakes]

Glad it helped!

[@OurNotSoSeriousLife]

Will this work for a kenwood stereo?

[@Rickmakes]

I unfortunately don't have one to test it with.

[@jemmyfonda7361]

How u sinkron the remote with tape???

[@andyironhead]

What way does the battery go in?

[@Rickmakes]

I don't remember off the top of my head. It is covered in snow right now so I can't check. I would try it both ways. You can press a button while looking at it with a phone camera. You will see a little light flicker when it is right.

[@chanelledragos-te6lk]

Can anyone help me figure out why phone link is not working?

[@gadgetsense3981]

Are you using a cable? Is it the charge cable that came with the phone? The cable included with your phone has more wires than the cheap ones. This allows for data transfer as well as charge.

[@cryptoknight1572]

I bought two of these remotes but they did not come with batteries could you please tell me what size batteries they take.

[@Rickmakes]

It takes a 2025.

[@Vishnu-jc8wd]

Is it work my pioneer mvh sterio

[@Rickmakes]

Not sure. It came with my stereo.

[@bobbymissinelli7610]

What is the battery for the remote? What battery did you use?

[@cryptounchained7444]

CR2025 coin cell

[@DenonGregory]

Anyone notice or have the issue that the song skip buttons don't work during Android auto? It works for me on Bluetooth and the other controller works on Android auto. But the steering wheel controller doesn't skip or playback songs during Android auto. Anyone know why or figure this out?

[@fabiomagnani2257]

Which battery do you need for the remote control?

[@Rickmakes]

CR2025

[@immzheat]

Cr2032 or cr2025

[@wasaya-edmontoneast-amjc365]

Hello, How did you hook up the steering wheel wire from the radio and to which wire you connected it too. From head unit to where, because I cannot find wire for the steering wheel control I have 2003 Toyota camry and I don't have factory steering wheel control. Can you please help me

[@Rickmakes]

This remote uses IR. The radio I am using have a wire to connect to a steering wheel control but I don't have a factory control so I am using this IR remote.

[@wasaya-edmontoneast-amjc365]

[@ioannismarkou1297]

Hi i purchased the same one but it doesnt work how do u adjust it my radio has IR receiver so should work

[@Rickmakes]

Not sure. Mine came with the radio.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

You can't, they're seemingly useless for anything other than Chinese head units like the one in the video. Unfortunately sellers constantly list these as 'universal' and 'learning', they're neither.

[@antoadhitya9470]

please tell me how to setting first time this remote control..i have not working...the remote same and the headunit use android 7012B..thank for your attention

[@Rickmakes]

I'm not sure how to pair it. It was already paired when I got it.

[@Pascalleke_]

It is infrared

[@samrogahang8062]

Same with my mobile Android not connect to remote control, can you teach me, tkhs

[@kajbyman3006]

The seller claims this is a blutooth remote,wich it is NOT! I ordered one,and it will not work with Android..

[@DoubleMonoLR]

​@@Rickmakes They don't pair as such. IR remotes(exactly the same with traditional IR tv etc remotes) use a particular way of coding the signal, different brands use different codes. There is no pairing, if the head unit 'understands' the IR signal it receives it works, otherwise it does nothing. These remotes have no way to change the codes, so they won't work with most head units. This is why 'universal' remotes come with a list of setting codes, so the remote can be set to match the device. Likewise 'learning' codes record the IR signal from an original remote.

[@dewaynepoppell398]

where is the battery

[@Rickmakes]

There is an opening on the back.

[@knutz1286]

Does any wire from the wiring harness need to be hooked up to work

[@Rickmakes]

Not for this. The IR receiver is in the head unit.

[@ecohype3542]

how to know if the remote is working?

[@DoubleMonoLR]

If the stereo does something when you press a button.. These remotes don't work with most headunits though, seemingly only no-name Chinese ones. You can test if it's actually sending a signal/has a good battery by pointing at your phone camera, which will show the remotes IR light blinking (the camera is sensitive to IR light, our eyes aren't)
