    The topic of controllers is something i have recently been looking into myself. There are some YouTuber's who have pretty good experiences with the budget controllers. I was very tempted for the low investment of 15 euros but after investigating further, had a change of mind. This one in particular caught my attention and is a good demo. https://youtu.be/Xnb5I7xKenI?si=4tSeusGI7tVs4dld

      If you know how to use a soldering iron, a do-it-yourself construction might be an option. Have a look for BarButtons and/or Motobuttons.

      @Jörgen i am not so good with electric soldering. i will look a little more on youtube and maybe i can find an instruction. but if there is on aliexpress an item that is plug and play it would also be nice. i will search more.

        @Bouke-Ent Just be sure to pick a waterproof one, as that video suggests!

        This one seems to have OK-ish reviews:
        https://www.amazon.co.uk/TUNAI-Button-Media-Remote-Control-Black/dp/B07JQ8Q6X6

        (I'm not endorsing it, I'm just saying it has more than 5 reviews, and they aren't all 1 star. 😲 )

        Those Bluetooth media controllers are so common that maybe MRA could create a mapping within the app since the buttons are pretty standard (+/- is up/down, rewind/fast forward is left/right, etc).
        Then you wouldn't need the Key Mapper app either.

          Topic-kick...

          I have an alie BT controller, buttonmapper app on the phone. Mapped the prev-next buttons to - and +.
          They do work as expected in here: https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/keypress-tester/

          They also work perfectly in Osmand.

          I cannot get them to work in the mra nav app. I have tried all input settings but none seem to work.
          Any ideas??

            @Nico-10 Hi, I tried for testing a normal BT keyboard and this works for MRA, when you type (or use) the up, down, left and right button, the plus and minus for zoom, C center and all others.
            Try your controller with a note app and see what letter is typed.

              @Jörgen Yes, it worked in a notepad app like expected. What input did you choose in the MRA app?

              Well, I do have it working now. I mapped the keys like in the table for the Carpe Iter BMW control and also choose that is input in the MRA app and now it works!

                @Nico-10 I use the BarButtons.

                Have a look under Support and search for Bluetooth controller, here you can find any information which setting is used.

                  Hi,

                  I used an R1 Bluetooth game controller from Aliexpress and basically works fine with audio.

                  To control MRa, is necessary to use (only Android) an app like ButtonMapper, tochenge the button actions to ones we want or, the better but the more complicated, use Tasker and Autoinput to program all actions we want to do.

                  If you are fluent on Spanish, I've write a document (Tasker for Motards) where I explain how to start to program Tasker to do some things. There is not planned an English version, sorry.

                  The document link:

                  Feel free to enjoy it or hate it 😏
