Remote control for car radios or other audio equipment

Most of the touring motorbikes today have a car radio already installed. Advantageously with remote control to have the the "good piece" installed protected from thiefery and splash water.

Special motorbike radios do have disadvantages, for one they are very expensive (regarding purchase price and also regarding maintenance and repair) but you do not really have a choice - one radio and that's it.

Therefore, a lot of motorbikers like to use simple car radios or MP3-players, like iPod, etc. A protected installation is then only possible with a remote control.

Different remote control systems

Infrared remote control system from Blaupunkt:
According to reports from our customers it is relatively frail and a clear transmission can not always be guaranteed. To be used in a car but not really made to use on motorbikes.
Remote control system from Panasonic and Sony:
Many very delicate control elements concentrated in a compact device. Rather made for slender Geisha fingers than for gloved motorbiker hands.
Connection-interface system from AKE to connect the BMW motorbike radio remote control to standard car radios or iPods:
 

Two worlds getting connected
