Wireless Remote Control. Is there any such to Android? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I think I already knows the answer to my question but still hope that perhaps someone has found what I seek.
Using Prime as a music player connected to my stereo. It had been really convenient if there was a simple remote control where you could change the track/play/paus and raise and lower the volume.
Not looking for a BT headset with these features, but it should be a "normal" remote.
The nearest thing i found is SE Live View. I have ordered one to test and see how it works, but have a feeling that there is not the simple solution that I looking for. Live View are certainly require some tweaking and Tricks and have more features than its necessary.
As an example. I found what I seek but for Ipad

Sometimes you get a little jealous of all the accessories available for the Apple products.
Would have been so sick nice if we could get the same range for android.

If you have an android phone you can use an app called Tablet Remote and control play pause fwd. Need to install to both devices

There is no reason why that one won't work on Android - these things are usually pretty universal.
Motorola makes a "smart controller", but only offers the Android buttons and a mouse (as well as a headset).

"Trust" that sells the remote control also has other accessories that work with more brands than Apple, and write it also in the description. But on the remote they only mention Ipad
Would not surprise me if it is so that they have done something that makes it only works with Apple.
It is unfortunately a little too expensive for just to buy and test if it turns out that it does not work.

If you have a Wii remote, there is a free app in the Play Store that will allow you to use it as a media remote. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like a good idea.

This app requires a second free app:

Hope this helps.

Are there any similar apps that do not require you to root your tablet? I have been looking for an app to control netflix on my Prime from my Atrix.

Will take a look at this..
Do you or somebody else have any experience on how good the bluetooth is in these controllers?
do they have good transmission range so you don't have to be really close to the device to get connections?
And do it have to be a original Nintendo controller or do a noname work good,
The SE Liveview was not good. Really bad bluetooth range. And it disconnect often and was not stable. I more problems then help.

You could get an app like blueputdroid to act as a mouse and keyboard for your prime.

ordered a Original Wii remote. So will be fun and so how it work. Hopefully it works good and after the first pairing and setup the remote can auto connect or just need one tap to connect to the prime.

I tested it earlier today with an original Wiimote. I was able to walk around my house with the Wiimote and it stayed connected. Your mileage may vary, but it had pretty good range for me.
Unfortunately, it takes a few steps to get it connected and started up every time you want to play music, and a few steps to disconnect. It's not complicated, but you have to launch one app, connect the Wiimote to it, then launch the second app to start the music remote. But once you're connected it works nicely.

Ok.. Sounds good that the connection is fine. As long at it works in the same room or have clear view and that you can be 5 to 8 meters from Prime iam pleased. And it sounds that it works better then I expected. Thanks for testing.
Sounds not so good that I have to launch 2 apps to get it going. For me myself it doesn't matter. But this remote idé was for my mother so wanted something really simple that she can understand..
She connects here's Prime to the stereo with Bluetooth using the Logitech Bluetooth adapter connected to the stereo RCA.. Can highly recommend this product, works perfectly. All she does is to activate the Primes BT and the start som music and Prime automatically connect to the Logitech BT adapter.
Back to topic.
Should it be possible to use some Tasker, scheduler, So when she starts the Bluetooth on Prime this also starts the apps needed for the Wiimote in the background so all she does is to start bluetooth and turn on the Wiimote controller.?

Thank you. Been looking for something like this. Works great. Haven't figured out how to use game controller though. Doesn't seem to work. The mouse function is my favorite.

Just a little update and that we can say "case closed."
Have now tested the setup with the Wii remote . And it works really well. Are some steps to get it connected but they are easy and fast to do. After the Wiimote is connected it works great. The connection is fine and I can be pretty faraway from the Prime and still be able to change track and volume.
So I think this is as good at it can get.. But still hopes we will get a real,dedicated Remote control for music, video that can connect automatically when you start BT ON Prime & without the need for 3rd parts programs that now is needed.
I used the original Nintendo controller because I wanted to be sure to get a well function controller with good bluetooth. Not sure how good the no name controllers are.. The Wii remote can be bought in 4 different colors and the controller is quite small so it almost look like a real remote. And the best part is that it has really good BT.
What you need.
Wii Remote
Music Wiimote App
Wiimote Controller App
And the its just straight forward.
1. Start Music Wiimote and push activate
2. You get a popup asking about permission to use BT and if you want to connect Wii Remote.. Push YES. Wiimote Controller starts automatically.
3. Push Init and Connect and directly after you press 1+2 the same time on the controller and 4 lights start flashing.. when the flashing stops and there is only 1 light showing the controller is connected.
4. Hit back or home and you are now good to go.
And when you are done using it you just turn of BT and the apps stops and the Wii remote turns off.
Thanks again @jkvato for the tips

I use tablet remote to control my video player (MX Player). I've never tried it with my music player (Stock). It's free and you don't have to be rooted.

I use tablet remote, but I have called for motorola smart controller. It's expensive. Shall try to update if it's worth it though my main purpose is video controlling.

Got the MSC, though not very good, gets the job done.
