I know I read this somewhere that someone was having issues of their steering wheel buttons being too sensitive and 1 press equals like 5 on the head unit but after much searching I did not find anything. Does anyone know how I can adjust my MTC unit so that when I hit next track it only does one button press? Is there also a way to set a long press vs a short press? I would like to be able to double assign the buttons on my wheel. One more thing I have had trouble with is that when I hit next track on the wheel in JetAudioPlus it also changes the radio station which I can see it do because on the mazda it shows the station info on my bar above the radio. Thanks

Hey Guys.
First the basic question: Is there any possible way that a 3 button headset can have all it's 3 buttons working on android, where ALL 3 can be customized?
To elaborate.. the app Headset Button Controller has 3 buttons (left, right, middle) that are customizable. However, I have looked through the threads here and only found that the middle button is usable, and lots of complaints about the other 2 buttons of certain headsets only being Iphone compatible.
I doubt that the 2 buttons that the dev designated in his app are there just for a goof (or for re-designation of the middle button via editing the .KL file), so there has to exist at least 1 example of a 3 button headset/wire that would make use of this.
And to clarify the function of this wire, the earbuds that came with my Note 2 have 3 buttons, but the left and right seem to be fixed on volume control only, so unless there is a way to make them work, I'll consider these ones not the customizable buttons that Headset Button Controller had in mind.
So my 2nd question: What are some examples of headset wires/wired headphones/earbuds where Headset Button Controller will affect all 3 buttons?
Here is my personal ranking of what I'm trying to find:
1) Independently sold headset wire w/ a working customizable 3 button headset
2) Earbuds with a customizable 3 button headset (these are cheaper to buy for the headset repair guy I know to dismantle so that they can be attached to my bose headphones. Same applies to #4)
3) Headphones with a separating customizable 3 button wire
4) Headphones (hopefully cheap) with a permanently attached customizable 3 button wire.
The idea is to get any sort of working working customizable 3 button device and make the right button skip tracks. The reason why using 1 button won't do the trick anymore is because Google Now decided to hog the middle button long click to itself, and even if I would double click, this can be wrongly done and activate Google Now when I have no need of it. So I can leave the middle button with Google Now and have the other two buttons for anything I want based on Headset Button Controller (once again, why would it even have 3 buttons if they were useless?)
Even though there is a trick that can be done by editing the .kl file in order to make your headset think it's clicking the right or left button, this had the crappy bonus of disabling the ability to pick up and drop calls when pressing the middle button, so that's a no go either.

Thank you for your time and I am very curious to know what your thoughts are on this.

They all work as volume and center as play pause (on note2)
Pm for link for a wire for solo or male to male aux that has remote for note 2
I still don't quite understand one thing.. has anyone looking at this thread used the side buttons on this and/or the beats cable you sent me for anything other than volume?
This is the biggest question for me.. is there any feasible way for the side buttons to be customizable (without getting rid of the volume buttons function on the phone itself).
If no possible way, than I'll move on and just order my single button headset to be repaired (though I am still flabbergasted as to why android headset control apps even give the two buttons to edit if this function has never existed)
If yes, but only on certain android devices, then this function can possibly be added to the Note2 via editing some of the internal files... in this I would greatly appreciate anyone who has a 3 button controller proven to have it's 2 side buttons be customizable on other devices, to try editing one of the system files so the Note 2 would be able to do this as well.
If you are not sure but have one of the 3 button cables with you, I would buy you coffee if you were ever in NYC if you could please download Headset Button Controller and try customizing the two side buttons.
Just so we are on the same page, when I say customizable, I mean going to an app like Headset Button Controller and changing the left and right button to do anything I would want them to do (forward, back, pause, etc)
Thank you and sorry for the long message.
PS: I'm super cereal about buying coffee.
Ive had that same question. The answer is generally no they cant be programmed as they are hardcoded volume up/down.. But some phones might be programmable after all if the maker lets them be.
The latest phone leaving all 3-buttons customizable was the Nexus 3 manufactured by Samsung as far as I know it. Actually there is a list of 3 button functionality here: http://apphelp.degausslabs.com/phones/
This list confirms 3-button function or not, but that does generally mean the up/down button are hard coded for volume only.

They make sum here is list of Android headphones with 3button control
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789294
Android aNd windows phone use the same hardware when comes to 3 buttons control. Apple uses one they made. That's why 3 buttons headphone made for iPhone will not work
But the URL should help get an aux cable or headphones that works on list of android and windows device including note and all nexus ( expect nexus 4 )
It seems like a simple problem, but I cannot figure it out. When I am listening to the radio and I press forward (either on my steering wheel or the head unit) it just goes to the very next radio station (96.3-96.5-96.7-96.9....etc). I want it to scroll through my presets instead. Anyone know how to do that?
Also, I am using the latest Malaysk rom in case that matters.
Thanks,
PIA
Figured it out. I just mapped my forward and back buttons to a different function. Kind of like seek/skip.
Could you explain more in detail what you did? I want to be able to do this too
Go to settings, steering controls, and map the forward buttons on your steering wheel to the top set of arrows. This only works if you have steering wheel controls

Yeah mine won't go up or down the pre sets when I press the steering wheel control buttons either

Hello all
I have searched a lot and couldn't find any relevant information anywhere.
What I wanted was to be able to use the clock and trip computer in my car
(a 2008 Mazda CX7 with Bose audio). When the stock head unit is replaced
you lose the Info and Clock keys so you cannot adjust the time or change
between the various trip computer info.
So by playing around I discovered that you still can perform these actions
by using the steering wheel controls. In specific, if you press the MODE button
for 2-3 sec you enter the settings mode. There by pressing the UP arrow
you emulate the INFO key and by pressing the DOWN arrow you emulate
the CLOCK key. With the above information you can use the clock/trip
computer as before
The above might have application on other Mazda vehicles too that
use the canbus adapter to keep the steering wheel controls. Wouldn't
hurt to try anyway!
Now if only I could find a solution for the fader/balance problem of
the rear speakers (by utilizing the canbus adapter provided) I would be happy!
I made a small video showing the above for anyone that is interested.

(I cannot post proper links yet)
Since I don't have steering wheel buttons in my car and non of these units have buttons, or if they do have buttons it has smaller screen then a phone, I wonder if someone did come up with solution for the next track action to work by ie. double tapping home button?
I wonder if there are any bluetooth controllers that could be attached to the steering wheel or the dash. Then you program the unit what to do when they are clicked.
Google seems to find some.
Well from the search here it seems on of the BT controlers work with the MTC units
Dear community,
I'm kind of lost since I get no support from Erisin about this (no response)
I have a BMW E46 from 2002 and the Erisin head unit.
MCU version is stock px5 MTCE (px5-userdebug 8.0.0. OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20180417.101726 test-keys)
I liked the idea of controlling the head unit volume by steering wheel.
Therefore I wired and installed the steering wheel buttons to my car.
The ACC works fine and in general I can control the head unit by the buttons.
Change Volume, Skip a song and so on...
Buuuut very often the head unit goes crazy or the control gets lost over the steering wheel buttons. (I am not able to drive over 30 minutes without having this error)
It seems like the head unit receives some ghost commands and volume goes up to max or I have random song skips. Sometimes it simply doesn't react on buttons.
Of couse this is not usable at all, therefore I disconnected the whole buttons.
For example you see a ghost volume up at 0:27
https://youtu.be/h5rCFSF8pew
Or here there is no reaction on volume up (please excuse my loud breathing)
https://youtu.be/e53De2HQJfY
Key study menu doesn't work at all:
https://youtu.be/Z0wzJsiScSI
Here is magic volume up (you will also see a handsome gangster guy)
https://youtu.be/ZPDQMeU4CNU
I have no clue how to debug or what I can do.
Any hints from the experts?

You should go Settings/Steering wheel keys to program the SWC, but not go to panel keys study.
I think the key menu doesnt matter. Actually the Buttons work as expected. But it gets out of control very often (random skips, volume up and so on). I also saw a key menu where I See the logs of key press. The head unit seem to actually receive the ghost key strokes repeatedly.
Have you tried entering at the factory menu and changing the car model at canbus menu?
You have a full menu for the keys where to change configurations.
