ATOTOAC-44F5 Watchband Style Wireless Remote Control with Luminous Buttons, Plug & Play - Only for ATOTO Car Stereos (F7 & S8), Not Compatible with ATOTO A6 / A5 /S8 MS /S8 PN/S8 UN

The media could not be loaded. I don’t know what planet some people are living on, butI’ve had this thing for a year. I haven’t changed the battery, it hasn’t come off and it works just fine.You turn the outside wheel clockwise to turn up the volume and counterclockwise to turn it down. You can map the button controls to whatever you want, but it starts with basic ones. Play/pause, skip, previous, Siri (if you’re not broke)I bought two of their cameras, one for the front, one for the rear. The default setting was good to go, the bottom button, press and hold and it activates the front camera and stays on until you hit the home button on the atoto screen.Same thing for the rear camera but I didn’t wire it to where I can just have it on whenever I want. Like I said, I got it last year and I haven’t had a single issue with it. If I were you, and I bought the screen but you’d like a volume knob, GET IT

I purchased this to go with the same brand car stereo ATOTO F7 WE 7inch Double DIN Car Stereo. It was advertised on the stereo. Unfortunately this didn't work right out of the box. I've tried new battery, pressing buttons, everything. It's just dead. I would love to write a better review and get a new one because the stereo is awesome. However this was a birthday gift so I had to hold it for awhile before I could install it and miss the return window. From what I can tell it seems like a good product if it worked. Which would help control the stereo safely whole drivingPros: the strap is nice and secure. You can place it anywhere on the stirring wheel. The buttons feel nice and ergonomically make sense for ease of access. It's nice that it's wireless so you don't have cables everywhere. It has a magnet so you can remove it without taking off the mount. Could probably use it away from actually driving.Cons: dead on arrival. No way to know if it's one or workingI would love to get a new one and change this review. I'm sure it's great when it works

Installation was dang easy. Just plug the remote receiver into the back of the unit, then strap the remote onto the steering wheel. Done. The hardest part was getting the dash off and back on. Definitely use a proper trim removal tool to keep from scratching your dash.Got this for the receiver for an Atoto F7 in my wife's car so she could have basic controls without having to look at or mess with the touch screen. Much safer than taking your eyes off the road just to play/pause.Keep in mind, this is only for a few of Atoto's models, so be sure it works with your model before you buy.

nice to install but it gets in the way when turning the steering wheel.

Workds perfectly. It coulb be better with a stronger magnet!

This came as part of the supplied parts in a GPS/Back up camera item I purchased. I had it installed, and the only place to mount this, so far, has been on the steering wheel. I've mounted it in several different places around the steering wheel, and no matter where, I seem to be bumping it with my fingers or hands.As far as the performance of the piece, it does control the volume at a thumbs touch, and the other touch features seem to control things, but I haven't really figured them out.

I'm thankful this exists in the atoto line up. Helps adjust volume much easier with a dial.For future updates would like a different color maybe black and a more premium feel.

I've been trying to make the microphone button on this ATOTO AC-44F5 work for a couple of months. At first, I thought it was my fault for not setting it up properly. I finally got some time to set it up. After many hours of button pushing and online research, I discover that the microphone button is probably not compatible with my model Atoto S8G2B74PM. The webpage for the ATOTO AC-44F5 remote states "Not Compatible with ATOTO A6 PF/ S8 Lite/S8 MS." My model is described as "S8 (Gen2) is the 2nd generation of ATOTO S8 Android car stereos." It is not an S8 Lite or S8 MS. I did stumble upon the ATOTO AC-44F8 that may be the correct remote control. But why wasn't it specified on the S8G2B74PM product page? The ATOTO S8G2B74PM is dangerous to manually operate while driving because the control buttons are so small. So, you are forced to buy the ATOTO remote just to keep from crashing your car. What a disappointment!
