I think the Esteem steering wheel is oversized , so the remote kinda complements it.

Totally agree on the powerful & led part. Three colours for the 3 different functions.

the 3 lights are quite quirky lol.
one is blue, one is red and the other is a mixture of blue and red and looks purple.
chics dig it ;-)

I need a closer look, Franky. When and where ?

frankmehta · 27th January 2009, 22:46

or clinic. napean sea road.

From the pics on Ebay, I could see a wired IR sensor (receiver) that is mounted behind the steering.

frankmehta - does this remote need a wired sensor (connecting to the HU)? Or is it able to communicate with the original HU sensor on the faceplate?

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 11:41

nothing extra. it communicates with the sensor on the hu. there are no wires and no extra sensors.
its quite simple . see my pictures.

rg_chn · 28th January 2009, 12:07

will this work on pioneer hu's??

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 12:37

yep. on all HUs! im thinking it will work on home audio too!
an outrageous reason to buy this:
i have a ps3. i can buy the steering wheel. while playing my need for speed most 'unwanted' i can adjust the volume control on the home theatre on the fly!

whatsay???? hhehehehe!

rg_chn · 28th January 2009, 12:50

how do i order for one? how much does it cost?

Now thats a nice idea, but then u'd have to keep shifting it from your car to home and then back to your car again, so i'd say order another one, and when you do that, order one for me too. lol

Can be paired with any remote control. This is a pretty universal universal remote & very easy to set up too. Love the colours.

if you have a pio HU, the pioneer one makes more sense since its much cheaper!
