Use the right gloves with a Parrot SK-4000's handlebar remote

The Parrot SK-4000 Bluetooth kit for motorcycles and scooters is a nice piece of kit, but finding the right helmet to use it with isn't the only concern.

To be fair, I used it with these gloves for a year before the remote ended up tearing off a rubber vent and screen, but it was still going to happen no matter what due to the restricted grip area for my hand.

I'll be looking closely at the pointer finger when I choose my next pair of gloves.

@shvona Unfortunately, no. I was hoping it was some kind of AVRCP-profile Bluetooth remote, but it's not. It is a one-way transmission, which is good for battery life. It seems that AVRCP is always a "sub"profile of other profiles, like A2DP. That may explain why the Playstation 3 Blu-Ray remote isn't AVRCP, but I would argue that it isn't technically Bluetooth if it doesn't use a standard profile available to others. That's why you don't see Bluetooth logos on Wii Remotes and such.

Hi, can you connect that remote to another phone or can it connect only to that parrot thing on the helmet?
