I've tried OK Google recently under my motorcycle helmet just to change music. It wasn't up to the task. Somehow The Google Music unchecked the downloaded music only, and OK google played radio racking up a few hundred MB of data before I could change it. It didn't work when all I was saying was next song. I went back to using the bluetooth button I was using before.

Bringing up music with Google Now is also notoriously frustrating because its designed to force you into Google Play. Its purposefully awkward to get it to use a different player.

Could you share a product link for whatever bluetooth button you were using, that sounds like a product I've wished existed for a long time and failed to find in the market. I remember an old wireless/30-pin connector for my iPod that had a weather-proof armband with controls from the company iMonster a long long time ago that I loved, but snapped many a connector off in my leathers!

This is the one you want. I'm on my second now from losing the first. It comes with a handlebar mount but mine were too thin. I layered up some electrical tape and the holder works even at high speeds.
