Default Audio controller

Hi everyone. I am trying to find a thingamabob to control the audio when I am riding. I have a Boss Audio MC420B and I am very happy with it. However, I am unable to pause, skip or replay songs when I want to and would love a simple (preferably inexpensive) bluetooth device that can go on my bars to address this. I have searched and keep getting results for marine applications for around $100 and up. Any advice will be appreciated.
thanks.

Thanks bunker. Left out the pet that I did get and try one of those. Did not work so well and pairing is a PITA and the one I got would disconnect on occasion which is incredibly frustrating. Ultimately I am trying to avoid mounting my iPhone on the bars for several reasons.

I did some more interweb searching and found this little doohickey, bought it from the Amazon dot com and it connects flawlessly, attaches easily and so far I am pleased. The only downside so far is that the buttons for volume and forward and back are a tad smaller than I would like, especially for winter when gloves are on. but it does what I want, and for $23 bucks I cannot complain! It is also available at some local Best Buy stores, but i would recommend ordering online first as it may not be on display. Thanks to those that did respond.
