Buyer's feedback: - * Product Funtionality Limited. ...
I've used this product for a couple of months now, and its an OK product. I had to take it off the steering wheel though, because I hated the feeling something on the wheel. I attached it to the handbrake of my Honda Civic, so the IR LEDs are facing the unit. (Which technically means it upside-down.) Regardless, I have a DEH-P690UB headunit, and the remote does work with it. The bad part about this remote, is you lose most of the features specific to your headunit, because the remote uses the generic IP-Bus interface from Pioneer. A couple of the buttons end up doing nothing. If the headunit is in direct sunlight, the remote doesn't function well, if at all. I bought the remote because of the missing ATT button on my headunit. Needless to say, if I had an ATT button on the faceplate of my headunit, I would not have purchased this product.

Buyer's feedback: - Mod that makes it 5 stars CDSR100
Found intermittent operation when out of the box. Found the review on Amazon recommending a drilled hole, snipped board, and bent LED. This makes it a 5 out of 5. Works like a champ. Remove the battery. Separate top from bottom (did it with my fingernails). Stock uses two LED's to bounce light off your face through black plastic - while this makes for clean packaging - it doesn't pass light well (invisible or not). CAREFULLY bend one of the LED's to point toward your deck instead of your face. Drill a 1/8" hole (found drilling from the inside out easier) pointed toward your deck. Remove the 4 screws on the audio volume board and snip the corner off with a pair of scissors or cutters - right along the closest wire solder pad (not an absolutely necessary mod if you are crunched for time or fear). Position the LED to point toward the hole. Reassemble. 1/2 hour tops - mostly to round up tools. Make it work EVERY time. Positioned mine in an Altima @ 3 o'clock. 1 foot from the deck face. Really makes the system come alive (PIONEER DEH-9800BT with XM). Awsome combo.

Buyer's feedback: - * Just Perfect... ...
This remote control is perfect. I can change everything in my radio/cd/mp3 without look to the radio. It makes me drive safer.

I recommend it

Buyer's feedback: - Do-It-Yourself set
Well, it didn't work for me after initial setup. Honda CRV is the worst possible cars for this remote to work: the radio has some deep housing around, plus it's on top, plus there is transmission's column-mounted selector lever covering the radio from the left. It worked only in total darkness, 2 o'clock mounted.
Here comes the fix.
It's infrared, so I stared looking for a LED, which is supposed to transmit the signal. Take any home TV remote and see how it works. You'll find some clear plastic, covering a LED, or LED with no cover coming out to send a signal. Basically, it's an invisible light, nothing more.
I was surprised and shocked to find no LED visible anywhere on Pioneer CD-SR100. Since it didn't work for me and I'm too lazy to ship it back, I've decided to open the unit to see what's inside. It wasn't really hard, actually. You start from the bottom, where Pioneer logo is, carefully using a small flat screwdriver, and quickly have the unit in two peaces. This is when you'll see the LEDs, two of them, hidden inside right behind that Pioneer logo. There is a tiny hole of a hair size which, according to minds of Pioneer engineers, is big enough for the signal to come out. I don't want to use any other words here, but I totally disagree with Pioneer on their idea.
To continue, you have to remove the volume control board. It's attached with 4 small screws. After that, I took a drill, a 1/8 drill bit and just drilled a hole near that LED, which was closest to my head unit on 2 o'clock position. That's it. I even trimmed the volume board with scissors to open up the LED even more and pushed its head to the new hole. You can assemble the unit back after that.
And now it WORKS! It works at 2 o'clock, at 6, at 10, at darkness, at sun - it just works. Once again, don't want to comment Pioneer's engineers. People, finalizing the design of this unit should be fired. Actually, the soldering of the board was so-so, it's on very cheap side, has 4-5 parts on the board, and for the money the unit is too overpriced.
You're loosing you warranty after doing what I did, I bet, but for me the only way before was just to throw the unit away, so I don't care.
Thanks.

Buyer's feedback: - * Nice control, easy to operate ...
Is a nice solution for remote control, is a little hard to found the perfect position on the steering wheel, but you can operate very wheel, I have my remote on the 2h30m angle, but the remote is reversed.
