Works okay 
2008-05-26
As I researched this purchase the most common complaint is that it doesn't work in the bright light. I have found this is accurate. Otherwise this works well.
works great but needs a better mount 2008-04-25
Like all electronics, Pioneer has its good points and not so good. Two examples: I have their top of the line NAV system in my car and it is fantastic, but the use of light colored side roads makes them difficult to see in the day - almost useless in bright sunlight, and no control can help that. (Are you listening, Pioneer for the next update?)
So again, the Pioneer Cdsr100 Steering Wheel Remote Control works great but the mount has a poorly designed clip to keep it on the steering mount. Having said all that, I would still purchase both of them again. I did a month of research before deciding on Pioneer for my 3000GT.

Dont buy it if you are looking for something to attach to the wheel 
2008-04-05
I bought this about 2 months ago and it does not work if you attach it to the wheel. I always have it detached and that is the only way to use this remote.

Product Funtionality Limited. 2007-11-12
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.

Just Perfect... 2007-08-06
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
Do-It-Yourself set 2007-06-28
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.
Nice control, easy to operate 2007-03-19
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.
if you need two remotes floating around your car. 
2007-03-01
pros,cheap remote. cons,mounting broke on install.Do not waste your money unless you want to have a second remote to keep track of.
