Hyperryd Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ok so it’s not an Exile Audio remote but I found a great little waterproofs Bluetooth remote control. It syncs with the phone and controls tracks, volume and play/pause. Everything I need at the rear of the boat. I just used some industrial Velcro to mount it since it charges via a micro USB from the back. Not sure how long the charge lasts but we will see. No holes needed so if it dies no harm no foul. It should work with any BT phone/device. oldsmobiledriver, TTempfer, bloodiestcadaver and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWCasper Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Brand? How well has it worked in your testing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperryd Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 6 more minutes! You can order it today from Amazon for $27!! I tested the range and it’s probably 40’ in my yard. Works as advertised. I just don’t know how long between charges. The charging port on the back is the only bummer. That means you have to take it off to charge it. Hence the Velcro. For under $30 it’s a winner. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085BYDHG9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_-X4HEbQW02MDP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperryd Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 so are you direct aux in to the receiver then blue tooth to this device?I have the Exile Media Center and the zone controller, just like the factory set up, driving the amps. This remote simply controls the phone volume, tracks and play/pause. Just sync with the phone, turn up the zone controller volume and bam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakz77 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have the Exile Media Center and the zone controller, just like the factory set up, driving the amps. This remote simply controls the phone volume, tracks and play/pause. Just sync with the phone, turn up the zone controller volume and bam instant transom remote. You could carry it with you to other boats tied up and still control it. You could even technically use it while surfing but pretty sure it will end up at the bottom of the lake eventually. Or just use your apple watch.. Kalen427 and Birddog7.62 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquaddiction Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Would this gadget work as a Bluetooth range extender as well?? I'm trying to find something that would allow us to control the stereo from the beach (50-70 feet)... We have had songs that come on from the kids phone that don't adhere to the PG-13 beach rating, which usually leads to quite the show of me scrambling to get on the boat to shut it off oldsmobiledriver, Kalen427 and bloodiestcadaver 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondatech117 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I bought one, seems legit, time will tell, I think I will just use the included strap and hang it from the cleat bloodiestcadaver and Hyperryd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
